a fire cracker would have wrecked a freight shacker

lord hates a coward deo. let it happen. you'll have one of a kind with a sound all it's own. j.j.

7500 gallons. had some pretty good weight pushin' him

i just had a local parts jobber(carquest) check on rings and bearings for my 707B and he claims he can get them from somewhere in mississippi. rings are a bit pricey but i haven't found any others.

like you said.....men of steel- trucks of wood. and that was a wood framed cab.

hey tim. you must have run up the old ho chi minn trail(209) before it was closed to trucks and I-84 was finished. a wreck a night. remember MUELLER'S diner?

in dalton,ma.(western ma) there's a guy who still uses a B-61 dump truck daily in his paving business. it's been re-fired with a 237.

packer is right. it was 1956. i just got rid of a 1956 model255w with a factory sleeper. it had a continental 572 gasser and 5/2sp. rear.

wasn't the word MAGNADYNE in raised letters on the exhaust manifold?

correct me if i'm wrong but i think the first thermodyne was built in 1937. it was a 611 cu.in. overhead valve engine. i had a '38 model 80 fire wagon with a 611 therm. in it.being a fire truck there was some chrome on the engine with aluminum valve covers.

thanks anyway barry

barry or any members. would you know if engine parts for the 707b are still available (rings/bearings/gaskets). was gonna' convert the B-70 to diesel but then it wouldn't be a B-70 would it thanks for any help. j.j.

nice lookin' ol' B john . what did the sleeper come off?

1956 B-733T with factory sleeper on e-bay # 4591804645. truck is in neveda

hey lee. sounds like you're the only smart one in your club!

welcome brad. you'll love it here. sounds like you've got a couple of great projects ahead of you. good luck. j.j.

i had the same trouble barry when i tried to click on the right side of the screen. it downloaded when i clicked on the left side. thought it was just my great computer skills as usual . j.j.

beautiful job on the EH. sure is a head turner. guess it can be said that you can go to the head of the class. j.j.

if you have a manual fuel pump why not change to an electric one. most fire companys used to put an electric pump on just for a backup. i had a 1938 model 80 mack that came from the factory with 2 electric pumps and my 47 LS-85 came equipted with an electric. as for the master cyl. you may be able to take the plunger, cups etc. to napa or carquest and if they want to take the time they can measure everything up and prob. match you up with something. try to find a place where somebody has worked for a long time there. they are a lot more helpful. some places will tell you that if the computer can't find the part number they can't help you. good luck.j.j.

dale. what's their labor rate? at 100.00 per hour that's 22.14 hours of work. almost 3- eight hour days. as the old chinaman said.... som-ting-wong. they might as well done an in-frame taking that long. i wish you the best of luck. j.j.

PHEW!!!

hey barry. while we're on the wiper motor subject....... how 'bout converting from vacumn to electric on my old fire wagon. thanks. j.j.

for my '47 LS85/707A carquest came through. good luck. j.j.

does anyone remember the silver blue L-factory sleeper cab with the flip up nose on it? used to see it up here in mass. in the early 70's. it was from either patterson or trenton,nj. might have said miller or something like that. always wanted to get a picture and wish now i had. j.j.
