    I like that one too. And that is one nice lookin R model.

    This is the aftermath.

    That is very true - and the cost of the equipment these days is astronomical. But it doesn't matter to them - they get whatever they want. And the taxpayers suffer.

    Some say yes - some say no. As far as the freeze point, I do not think there is a problem with mixing. But it is said that mixing orange and green can cause the mixture to gel. Probably best to add green.

    Drag racers started putting Detroit blowers on their motors I think in the fifties and it has been done about a gazillion times since then.

    Here it is:

    You might have to do a lot of searching and spend a lot of money to find a more desirable model - that IS a desirable model. To me it is too desirable to modernize and use as a daily driver.

    I see the Cruiseliners on the road. Have been hoping to get a picture. Some here: https://www.google.com/search?q=Schwind+trucking&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=SyOIUNf7M6OXyAHL8YG4Dg&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1150&bih=686

    I looked in a package car once and a data plate said "Duplex". That was about 1990.

    It must have originally been a tractor. I would expect that they were all B46T being that the short length and concave cab were for that purpose. There were not a lot of them built, so the reason for a low serial number. B46 1958-1965 473 B462 1960-1965 110 B4626 1960-1960 1

    I think that it can be titled and you were given bad information - which is not unusual in a situation like this. Try again using a different source. See if the DMV can trace it by the serial number or by the name of the previous owner. Did it have plates on it? Contact the seller and ask them if they know who the owner purchased it from.

    I see now the eBay listing has been changed to B-75.
  13. Phase 1
    Here is Thunderdog's B-72 from a previous post. I assume they were available with a B cab too. It surprised me because I would have thought that a B-72 would look like a B-70.

    The panels look too big and the headlights too small. The thing to do would be to put another set on each side. Quad quads!
  15. Phase 1
    That would be my guess - that the apparatus builder changed the lights. I think the Cadillac Eldorado had the square headlights first, maybe 1975? The government okayed the new headlights because the manufacturers said they allowed lower hood profiles for better fuel mileage.

    B models are not that wide.
  17. Phase 1
    It doesn't look like either one of them is hurt much..........course maybe the bus is a Mack too!
  18. Phase 1
    That is a real jewel. Thanks for the pictures Olive.

    Ya missed G Joe !! Here is a listing up to 1990: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CFkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.macktrucks.com%2Fassets%2Fmack%2FModelProduction1.rtf&ei=78IYUNSzJ-aEiwKMlYHQDQ&usg=AFQjCNF-EWF5OFKFm0_Tmk6MSrldVUoRUQ&sig2=_DvVjVr2WQ_6OuRDxGB7gw

    Nice truck. What was a B-72? The same as a B-70 but with the larger radiator? Did it come with a 707 engine?
  21. Phase 1
    Try SPAAMFA

    I do not think that roller bearings on a crankshaft offer any advantages. The reason they are used in two strokes is that plain bearings would not live in the limited lubrication of two stroke oiling. It has been done in four strokes, but as I remember, in an oil circulating engine the rollers have a tendancy to slide and not roll, and the pushing of oil by the rollers decreases performance. Roller bearings would have a shorter life and be more expensive. Oil lubricated plain bearings have very low friction.

    My first car was a 1960 Chevy Impala convertible, 348 with 3 dueces. Three speed with a Hurst "mystery" shifter. Black with a white stripe and white top. Red interior with a padded dash and two speakers! Red sculptured carpeting and red painted light bulbs under the dash! Rusted out rocker panels and floors and a trail of blue smoke behind it. I bought it in 1972 and tried to get it for $15.00, but the dealership would not budge off $20 because they were going to get 15 for it for scrap.

    The last year for the LJ was 1956, although I don't suppose too many were made after the B series came out in 1953. The Clariben hood and the paint job does somewhat modernize the tractor.
