Bob, all their trucks look that way, even the dump trucks that run asphalt every day. his company and mine are about the only ones here in Jersey that wash their trucks every day before being put away for the night.

nope, not me... real men don't drive volvos..🤣

he was joking when he said that just to bust Matt from Diesel Creeks chops.

we had an old timer up the street from the old house that ran the 534 ford and quad box in his trucks. he switched to 18 speed fullers with the last 4 trucks he bought new in 81 when he heard ford was dropping the 534 from the engine lineup. he ran those 4 trucks until 2000 when he finally broke down and replaced them with kittycats. and complained about the loss of his beloved 534's until he passed away three years ago at 94 years old. his son finally retired the last of the 2000 trucks this summer when the engine started using more oil than fuel. the son now runs freightliners with mercedes engines. they run bulk tank trailers hauling silica sand and powered lime for concrete plants.

what are the plans for it once finished? i will keep my eyes out looking for it on the road.

if it is an 81, it should ne negative ground. as for 12 or 24 volt, you would have to look at the alternator and starter to be sure. or it could throw a monkey wrench in the plans and be 12 volt electrical and 24 volt starter.

my friend had 2 1964 Big Job F800 tandem dump trucks with 534 V8 and quad box transmissions. another friend had a 65 or 66 Big Job F800 tandem dump that was converted from gas to diesel when the 534 died he ran for around 20 years before trading it in on a new 1996 Louisville tandem truck.

hey joy..... no one gives a flying fiddlers fart what you and your "people" think

so the lame duck pardoned the turkey? hopefully there is enough dirt in the laptop to put the whole clan away forever once Trump and company take over.

always liked the ford "Big Job" trucks. especially the 58 and newer with the 534. they were so much better than the 332 offered until 57

so what is it? and how do we know who was at fault?

i have no use for "celebrities" or politicians. if the TV is turned on, it is set to classic country music. i cant remember when the last time i watched a movie. as far as radio in the trucks or cars, i use a 64 GIG scandisc thumb drive which has approximately 7 days of continuous play of music before repeating a song.

no, they live in the real world, and we live in our own little pockets of heaven under giant boulders... according to them.

like almost everything else from "over there" they are being run by brain dead maroons.

hey now, i am offended by that picture!! that is an insult to cow patties!!! 🤣

i like pulling the injectors and giving each a good shot of ATF mixed with 40% acetone. then place the injectors back in the holes and let sit for a week or so. then pull the injectors back out and bar the engine over by the crank bolt on front of the engine. you wat at least 1 full revolution of the engine before throwing power to the starter. leaving the injectors out while baring over mean you will not have to fight engine compression. but put the injectors back in the holes when done so no moisture can get in the cylinders. pulling the injectors will also allow you to scope the cylinders and pistons with a bore camera.

sure. i will load an extra jumbo roll on the W900 and flat bed trailer and send it rite down. 25 ton should last you for at least a week till you can go to the store, rite??

maybe you will get lucky and just have to free the rack in the injector pump, and pour some lube in the cylinders and let it sit for a few days to free the engine up so it can roll over.

First day of retirement he commented on being surprised the either general hospital or as the world burns was still on.

if you ever stop watching soap operas and finish it.

by those fuzzy 1920's pictures, it looks more like a Kenworth W900 than an A Car.

My engine brake is always on once engine reaches 150 degrees And very rarely use the brakes. I can go from speed to 15 mph with engine brake without touching the brake pedal for a red light.

with a 3.91 rear axle, you should have no problem maintaining highway speeds. the 2020 kenworth t880 with 4.10 gears will roll 80 mph if you want it to.
