    Posting this for my father: A friend who does not do computers at all but does do antique busses (especially school busses) and one fire truck is looking for a part. His fire truck is built on a 1946 Brockway chassis. It has a 42BX Continental gas engine and a 5-speed Fuller transmission 5A3305P. He is unable to identify the clutch make and model. He needs a clutch fork. The fork has the number "2772" cast into it. My guess is that the fork is also a vendor part and not unique to Brockway. Any out there?

    Actually a better way for you to get there would be I476 to I78, get off at exit 67, drop ramps and allow a stowaway onto your flatbed, then out I78 to 81/83 south..............

    Huh?? LOL just kidding. However the others are right- there is some kind of nuance with this forum's software that does not get along with IE; not only with the quote function but also for picture uploading, etc. It works fine with Chrome. (everything works better when you chrome it........)

    I don't know about you guys but I love hearing about the Communism and Socialist policies of the Soviet Union back then from an insider.........Oh.....wait.....shit.....nevermind we're there now. My bad.

    No offense but why would you want to go backwards? If you swap it's usually a gasoline engine to an oil burner, not the other way around. And yes, there is an extremely high possibility that you will not only have to swap the clutch and transmission, but the rear as well. The driveline right now is set up for a max engine speed of 2100 (+/-) RPM's plus the higher torque of the oil burner.

    Couldnt afford lube oil and the workmans comp claims for the hearing loss, smashed fingers, and lung problems due to exhaust exposure.

    Serious question: If anyone with a drop deck or a flat with ramps and the room, that is passing Hellertown Pa (Bethlehem) on I-78 would you be willing to pick up the FWD if I sprang for a meal or two for you and some fuel????

    That's ok Mate, we know that because you are upside down on the bottom of the world, all the blood rushing into your head clouds your judgement.

    SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE.......... It's a great fucking feeling when your belly doesn't rub the steering wheel anymore, aint it??? When driving the FWD, I could never wear any light-colored shirts before I lost weight- there would be a dark mark from the wheel. Well done my friend!!! Keep going and get in the gym, dammit!!!!

    If anyone is interested in buying any of his books, I can probably arrange to get them for you directly through him, I am pretty sure he gets them for cost. I can also get him to autograph them for you. Let me speak to him and see what he says; I am certain he would do it if he is able to get them.

I can't access the old account under the name yardo1075 for some reason- but there are still a ton of truck pix in there if you want to look there too.

    I would have blown his doors off going over the mountain if I had the running start.......But he was in front of me on the on-ramp onto 78 from Lehigh Street and not as much "get up and go" with the two on his deck.....I was stuck behind him and could not merge left for quite a while due to traffic.......So I didn't have quite the "ooomph" going over the mountain and we were side by side smiling at each other for 1/4 mile pissing everyone off behind us.

    Did anyone happen to catch the FWD versus the R-Model (with a lowboy and two B's on the deck) race up south mountain on I-78 Eastbound??? It was a draw.....LOL
