  1. I use to buy my 1/14 scale tamiya cabs from shapeways. Not sure if you can still buy from them?
  2. Dan sent me a signed copy a few months back. It really was a great read about the movie and how it barely made it to the theaters.
  3. I remember seeing a truck with wheelchare access and then years later, seeing a article about it. I thought it was bisom but could be wrong
  4. Yes very early 80s had 2 valve 300 hp The 4v came out around 1983-84 if I recall
  5. I might be. Dan Bruno asked me that same question.
  6. I'm trying to recall my trip to walcott IA back in 2006? Did bisom truck lines have a cruiseliner or superliner set up so a disabled driver could enter and exit the cab. I know mike Harbison would know Thank you
  7. I used a service truck crane. To remove and replace the heads as 1 assembly. Made life very easy Yes, I wire brushed all stud holes in the head. Pressure washed them and blow dry. All the stud holes in block were wire brushed and blown out after I cleaned the deck surface. All studs were wire brushed. Lowered heads on with 4 studs used as guides until the dowl pins located them. Then I put all studs in hand tight and backed off 1/2 turn. All studs were same hight. Bolted down so far so 👍
  8. I decided to make a walk around video of the truck. Just a little bit of what i've done to it over the years. I'm gonna start making more videos of other truck related stuff I have. Subscribe to the new channel, if you'd like to see more. https://youtu.be/WLYYPPEpJNA?si=Sa-nvGi5nnHn4A1v
  9. Yep I just pulled my 2v heads off about a month ago. Replaced the head gaskets and cleaned up the mating surfaces. Total cost was less than $100 in parts. Great help from people here.

  11. A CF686 denotes a 285 maxidyne. my truck is a RS786 with the same engine. A 300+ would be a CF612 Also a 285 hp usually had a 5 or 6 speed transmission as it was a high torque rise. where the 300+ needed minimum of 8 gears due to its shorter powerband
  12. Not yet. Been busy. I will report back soon
  13. My memory is fuzzy but I know the axle tubes from b models to R models are definitely different. For example a r model differential will not drop in a b model era housing. The spiders may swap over. Another thing to consider if your truck currently has camelback is just swaping in R model axles. It might be the same labor but you could get some 4:17 ratio and have a great highway speed now. Just a thought
  14. Oh man.... and can you repair it in the truck or does the pump need to be pulled out?
