    Did you notify him that it has been relisted for 20k? Why take less?

    Studebaker took the grill off some of them for a shorter bumper to back of cab dimension. The bumper was nearly flush with the front end. It could be it was on those sold in later years as tractors - or possibly that was an option.

    The percentage of survivors is probably about average for that era. And there are likely others sitting around that are not known about.

    They are available on-line at the museum website. http://www.brockwaytrucks.org/gift-shop/dash-plaques

    It is an X model. Would that be why?

    There is one in Kansas on display at the American Truck Historical Society headquarters. Interesting GMC Diesel badge on the hood. I don't think I have seen that before. That was before they were popularly called Detroit Diesel. Most truck builders would not want to put a competitors name so prominently on thier product. Even though Dart built many specialized large trucks, some of thier trucks would have been matched by GMC models. (On second thought it was possibly put there after a repower) Dart was also a user of LeRoi V8 gas engines.

    Nice.

    It appears that it was the Transtar/Paystar cab, offset so it could be mounted low without having to raise it up over the engine. Much like Mack did with the U model. CONCO stands for CONventional/ Cab Over, apparently meaning that the cab was moved forward to the position of a COE, but kept low like a conventional. According to the International Trucks book the driver sat beside the engine. It probably saved money and weight. There was a jump seat available for a passenger, but it doesn't appear there would have been much room there.

    Possibly there is hot air coming from the heater when it should not be. Feel in front of the heater vents with the fan on and engine temp warm. The valve may not be closing.

    I would put a grease pit in a shop that I would build. And put steps on the edges to cover it with planks for times that floor space may be needed.

    That is quite an early B60. 69th off the line. It would be a 1953.

    The chrome around the windshield makes it look quite different.
  19. Phase 1
    Better to fix it up !!

    There used to be a guy with the name of something like Phillip Baumgartner from Florida that sold vintage Mack parts and reproduced some parts - chrome emblems and model numbers if I remember right. He had bought truckloads of obsolete parts from Mack. Anybody know what happened to that business or the parts?

    Curtiss Wright has been an interesting company. It has the heritage of companies started by the aircraft pioneers Glenn Curtis and the Wright brothers.

    The guy has tons of interesting videos. I had seen a few of them in the past. skadill https://www.youtube.com/user/skadill/videos

    Make a press to push the piston down. Take a heavy bar, or angle or channel, etc. and drill two holes to run bolts into head bolt holes with washers or spacers for clearance, and use a large threaded rod in the center to push. Those cylinders may be pitted and will need to be bored - if they are not sleeves.

    Cool truck. Get the mechanicals in good condition and leave it just the way it is.

    Where does this one fit in ? - He thought he could take a short cut. http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=10361
