  2. it ain't a "crack" one of the main beams snapped completely open 3/4 inch and shifted 2 inches to the side. i know the lead welder trying to fix it and inspect the rest of the structural steel. he said it is cheap china steel, and that the bridge most likely will need to be replaced.

  13. i ran a 69 white 9000 for 5 years pulling a low boy in the early 80's just like the one behindthebarn posted. 290 cummins with a 10 speed. the engine in that one was not tilted, but it was halfway into the cab

  15. yup. build a little platform to go over the 5th wheel ball and plywood fits in there just fine.
  16. i put a few miles on a few of them. the 79 i put 450,000 miles on, the 88 i put 550,000 on, then i moved to r models and put over 1 million miles on 3 of them before moving to triaxles.

  20. most people in business today were not even born when 24 inch rubber was on trucks driving down the road.

  22. my bet is the sign maker does not know the difference between an engine brake and an air brake. or is just an asterisk and does not care what the sign says.
  23. the only time i use the stake pockets is if i am using straps with the 3 inch wide strap ends. if the straps have hook style ends or using chains, they always get wrapped around the spindle.
  24. nothing is as hot as floriduh in the summer.
