That's the one

Vlad had a picture of someone holding it and shaking it. I can't remmeber if it was himself or he had someone doing it.

Wasn't there a picture Vlad posted a while ago demontrating how to clean out an old fuel tank ?

Those in the picture JoeH posted look like they might be it. They're inboard brakes. No advantage to them as far as brake work goes. I'm thinking they may be the only way to get disc type wheels on 58s. I could be wrong though.

Ya know F.... I had to stop watching. I had a feeling these guys were screwed . I wouldn't be surprised some other $h!t storm comes their way either. Maybe Chance needs to transition or something. Simple ideas that actually work not to mention unarguabley going the right direction just aren't goint to work . Even the animals don't allow the dumbest to rule.

Might even be cheaper to change the bogie.

This is an expensive change even if the stuff is still available. If I'm not mistaken it requires a hub change (obviously) along with different drive plates. There used to be a guy here with a Superliner with 58s, he had chrome Daytons on it. I remeber seeing Budds with 58s, not sure I ever saw hub pilots on them. Budds are kinda going backwards as far as a truck with 58s as they can't take the weight anyway.

I'd love to hear that truck in person the way it is. Never hear that sound anymore.

I could see where that'd be a challenge. Thank God for those Murtys.

Awww...... take it easy on transgender day. biden has a close personal friend he did that for. Think his name is Mike Robinson

Guy driving looks a little like Earnhardt at a quick glance

I searched VTI Mack. That's a good way to see pictures of lots of MHs. Never had given it a thought before, but they were a nice looking cabover.

Price is definetely right on that one. Likely have way more into moving it.

That MH isn't bad. What a truck that must have been when it was new.

😂 I'm glad at least someone knows what song I mean .

Could you imagine that when it was new Bob ? I bet someone could do something better than cut that one up.

Exactly. It's purposeful and blends right in. Some of the "custom" stuff here ???? I don't get it.

Funny thing , your trucks have protection around the windshield (s) and I'd imagine extended shifters because of raised cabs. Those things are functional and don't look silly . The low visor / high shifter floor dwellers ??? IDK to each their own, but I don't get it.

Did you ever try to drive one of those ? I moved one once (moved it) I don't think I could actually drive something like that all day.

Those visors seem to make shifters look taller in those trucks for some reason. Or do most of them also have the shifter up to the roof ? 🤣

I think Denis Leary wrote a song just for him too.

That's the same truck in both pictures ? Holy cow.

3408 was a good horsepower engine. Where they were used weight and size weren't a huge deciding factor. They weren't the best for pumping out huge torque (think like when shifting a loaded truck) The crank shaft had two rods on each throw and they didn't share the same centerline. Not a ideal setup for automotive use. They did much better sitting at one steady rpm making horsepower. You could get one ein a truck and they were impressive, but expensive and somewhat fragile if the horsepower was bumped up. E9 was a much better design for use in trucks. A true 90 degree V8 not a 60 degree tricked into thinking it was a 90. 🤔 cram an MP10 in there (lol) that'd be different.

This wouldn't seem like a cost effective swap ( to say the least ) the E7 with a mechanical pump is your easiest path to a bigger horsepower swap, and I'm not sure that's gonna go without a hitch. Those 3408s are big, the 60 degree part really doesn't mean much as far as it's external dimensions. They're big .

I PMed you
