Years ago, I responded to a wreck on the Interstate where a Nissan pickup had run over a retread that had just come off a semi. It got wrapped up in his right front wheel, forcing him into a hard left turn at 65 MPH. His Nissan rolled three or four times, totally destroying it, but he was basically uninjured. He was sitting on a nearby guardrail when we arrived on scene, crying. It was his first new vehicle and he had just bought it that morning. The option/price sticker was stuck to the shattered glass that had been the window!

Yes, I remember this when it was released. It was a Ryder (Obviously) ad explaining how their employees are willing to do whatever it takes or something along those lines. If I remember correctly they actually did lift the truck but it was extremely gutted and a lot of what you see is faux.

It is a 2004 FMTV Stewart Stevenson m1088a1. It was derived from the Austrian Steyr truck but built in the US

Thank you again D2Denny, that helps! Great info, just what I needed!

Go to Mack eMedia website, search for shop manual # 8-211. You can download the book from Mack for free. It's Engine Brake Output #1. You have the IEGR engine, not the CEGR engine.

I look forward to the new crew.. I hope they get shit doen, and quickly..

Largely the Republicans are just as guilty of screwing things up as the Democrats. Mostly they all go along to get along and screw us in the process. Any "grandstanding" comments they're making you need to take with a grain of salt, they're just putting out sound-bites to appear like they didn't help create the mess Trump is coming in to clean up.

I watch Real Ameriicas Voice, every night.. I am so happy the D.J.T. is back.. what hurts my heart is that as I watch all these republicans/conservatives speak out against all the things we already hated, It seems to me that we were held hostage by the P.O.S. Dem's, for so long that we got weak.. It's like when the school yard bully gets his A$$ whooped, and then all the other kids sigh releif and join the group of winners... How the hell are these republicans so weak? I sure do hope this new set of BALLS that just 'dropped' hang around. (pun intended).. we/they need to stay strong, and keep telling freaks and dumbass libs to go to Hell.. I'm sure once a few things we buy are reasonbly priced again, they (the libs) will quietly be happy, and shut the hell up..

I knew you would get it.. Ga_Dave

You have some really interesting trucks there.the sandy coloured cabover you have is it a KAMAZ?...It looks like one iv seen on a visit to Ukraine back in 2019.. Paul

Welcome to BMT..yeah this is an interesting resto.old model cab on newer frame.im really hooked already to see how this one goes.best of luck with it and keep the pictures coming. Paul

An LTL or a B series with the L cab? Good question. Both run the same cab and could run the some of the same engines. The main difference is the front nose clip and then what appeals to you the most. The B front end is a bit shorter, but has integral fenders vs cycle fenders. Most B parts are a lot easier to find than L models. The frame of the B is later so more modern and more plentiful. Some L parts can be extremely hard to find. The cabs themselves were not as durable, so they'll both suffer there, rot and fatigue can reek havoc. Both were somewhat low production, number wise. Survivors in good shape can demand a higher price for either. But, I think the LT series demands more money overall. Considering the B vs L cab, the L is much more comfortable and has better visibility. The B cab had better manufacturing processes and was much more durable, but very cramped. This is a non-issue for your question. I think it will come down to which is more pleasing to your eyes, it's configuration to suit your needs and what is it worth to you? I lean more towards the B series, as I like it's more finished appearance, but it would be a hard choice between the two.

Okay. My friend Joey Mack has hooked me up with one coin! If anybody else out there has one of these they can spare, please contact me. I need one more for the other twin grandson!

Derrico: Was at local NAPA today. Asked about tune-up parts for your engine. Had some in stock and the rest a day away at distribution center. Distributer is a Delco and these are still pretty common parts. About $62.00 for all Distributer cap Echlin RR95 Rotor Echlin RR83 Points Echlin CS763A Condenser MPE RR174SB

Do you have a Dex Truck parts close by?

Any chance you know where i can get a used hood from?

This m920 8x6 has a 400hp big cam Cummins cat 7155 air shift 16 spd. 52 inch tall 16 inch wide tires, full lockers on rear and unlocked front with air tag. Rear bogies rated 56k lbs it is a beast. The straight truck m919 has the same drivetrain with out the lockers but is 6x6.

same here TJ i believe they can do some real damage,,,but in 49 years of truck driving ive only seen them fly around the wheel opening and then pieces of cap come out the back,,,alotta times tear off the mudflap and sometimes the bracket ,bob

thers a picture of it on vlads new cruiseliner tread...bob

Wow I've never seen something like that! A few ranchers around here use military truck in winter for water haulage but the farmers seem to shy away from them. Probably not going to haul very much very fast with an LTL or B series but they would still look cool. The 60s International grain trucks have the best sealed cab (from dust at least) in my experience. Good luck!

my 82 came from there thanks for that,,,bob
