    I put 6 gal in my 673 and with the homemade dip stick I assume it's alright. I put a couple gals in filter, then I put 3 in pan. I checked stick and it was a full mark. I then put rest in pan. This then assumes that 3 filter/3 pan is full. It usually drains some of filter back and reads overfull when it sits all week. I think this is the reason for the 10-15 sec wait for pressure when I first start it. If I check it shortly after shutdown, it reads full on stick.

    Quaker city raceway in Salem, Ohio. I took it over three years. I didn't ever see it come up on the schedule so I think it finally died out here. The first so I went in '00 was awesome!!! The truck count went down every year after. The last two years I made it to the final three trucks though!! I lost all my pictures in my computer when I "formatted C" last week. I have hard prints that I need to rescan and put back up. Just need to find the time.

    Pretty cool. The vid worked for me. Don't let the tree huggers see it though!!!!

    Heard it's a great show to attend! Maybe someday I'll get over there.

    If it's cast iron, then it CAN be welded. I can't see why it could not be fixed, and not for hordes of money either. If it's not useable...then I'd like to take a look at it and maybe see if I can do something with it. If Barry comes thru...that's great!

    Ok, fill us in.............What does your pump need?? Impellar? Shafts, welding?

    Well, I drag race my '64 Galaxie wagon. I have two street hot rods: 69 F100 and another '64 Galaxie 2dr. I enjoy R/C stuff, mostly 4 whl variety, since my plane only lasted about 5 minutes!!!! (guess I should have taken some lessons). I have one of those King haulers(r/c semi with box trailer-pretty cool and realistic). My webpage is: http://hometown.aol.com/larry33k/BATTLESTAR1.html BTW Barry, the company I'm with had a taurus wagon way back then. It was a 5 spd to boot!! I made a few road trips in it(even hit a turkey on a back road once) It's neat to see stuff like that, especially when someone has taken great care of it. Larry

    My local bearing place will usually have any seal I need. Given the 3 dimensions...it should be relatively easy to track down?

    Hmm, double posted for some reason?

    Are you talking about he valve on the dash that controls wipers?? I pulled mine off, took rear plate off, installed new o-ring and put back together. Been a couple years and still holding pretty well. Watch how you remove hoses, mark them or wipers will not work correctly. Yup, been there too. There are a couple variations of control valves so they are not all the same. Yup, been there too.

    I know a "fishhook" on another diesel site. He's a driver, so I was think'n maybe it was same guy? He's in SW OHio.

    I "think" I still have one 40 gal tank sitting out back. Even have a few sets of brackets too(straps were cut though?). I'm pretty sure the "web" of step is no longer there, but tank is in decent shape. I can get you pictures if you like. Where are you located? I'm in Ohio. I know I have seen aluminum versions made..but not sure of the money to do it? Not cheap I would guess.

    Fishhook huh? You wouldn't be Greg would you?

    My floor was a bit rough in my B61, so I just cut it all out(all the way around the perimeter of cab, up to the center floor panel). I then cut 16 ga to fit around center panel(that I made new framework for) and welded it all in. I put a center cross brace between rocker panels for seat bracket to sit on. Solid as a rock now. I used to have pictures posted on here(on old forum, but they got deleted).

    Sounds like someone already upgraded the electrics? Does the truck have any kind of radio in it?? This would confirm they switched to neg. ground(most likely). It also sounds like there is a serious short issue if the battery cables are arcing trying to hook them up. With the truck shut down, you should be able to hook the batteries either way and not see a spark. Now, if something on the truck is shorted, somehow, then it would cause sparks when hooking up the batteries. Time to do some investigating, trace the battery cables, check the wiring and see if something is crossed somewhere.

    You can just put the turbo on, but you'll need the pump redone to match to actually put the fuel needed to make power. I've considered this, but don't want to screw up a nice running engine. The non turbo motors don't have oil cooled pistons and that adds to the possibility of scoring up cylinders. Not that it can't be done, and survive, but I'll just hold out for a new motor.....someday.

    Geez Barry. Never realized that much stuff was hiding back there...LOL!! Must have had my blinders on when I was there!

    I saw that Blue U model on trucktraderonline. It's listed at $8500 right now! Geez...where's the gold grabhandles?

    Just looking at it...I'd say $2000 MAX. I'm sure that's still too much really, but I guess it depends on how bad you want it. For $7500 I would expect a new motor/tranny or at least recent rebuild on them, plus some new tires. Way too used up for that kind of money. That's just my .01

    Do you notice in that scene that the front right wheel is locked and the front of the trailer is ripped open...........THEN..............in the funeral procession it's all nice and shiny new again

    There was a red B model on Ebay last year with 318 in it. Don't remember all the details...it was from out west somewhere?
