    nope. 61 Ford Camaro and for that year the 318 slant 6 had a 3 barrel carbulator on it.

    besides the explorer, 3 F550's in work, and the two Kenworth T880's with LED headlights, i also put a set of LED sealed beam replacements in the 04 F350. difference is i aim the lights low so they do not blind anyone. and NEVER use high beams.

    i would be more worried about him making a wrong turn looking for a shortcut!!!! 😁

    never saw one. but than again, any roads here that have a raised rail grade are also 4 ton max weight.
  6. tjc transport
    i have NEVER seen a grade clearance sign at RR crossing in any of my travels.

    i hope they pay train the nascar drivers better than their truck drivers!!!

    nope. just about every higher end car made in the past 3 years or so have LED headlights. even my explorer has them.

    i HATE led headlights, and think they should ne illegal. people give me the but i can see so much better with them. ya know what? it is dark. slow the eff down. my vehicles have 45 MPH headlights on them, and i only drive 40 MPH at night. there is no need to blind everyone on the road just so i can get where i am going 5 minutes faster.

    the 2022 tandem was $215,000. the 2022 triaxle was $ 235,000. the 2023 triaxle on order was quoted at $285,000. we sold the 2020 triaxle for $190,000 back in september,$5,000 more than we paid for it. and i used it for 3 1/2 years and put 72,000 miles on it. the reason used truck prices are so high is the current wait time between order and delivery is close to 2 1/2 years. so it is either overpay for a used truck, or take whatever they have on the lot new.

    i only run local the past 13 years Bob. under 200 miles in a 10 hour day. most of the time under 100 miles, and sometimes as little as 50 miles. blah blah blah. so i am knocking on 67's door. the kids still tell me i am older than dinosaur poop.

    about 5 years ago i tried figuring out how many miles i logged and and gave up 3.5 million just on trucks i have drove. that was not counting car miles either. probably have close to half a million on cars too. i started driving at 13 with a 49 International L190 single axle tractor on the farm pulling hay from fields to the barn. by 14 i was delivering grain to the co-op 25 miles away with the same truck and a dump trailer. i have been pushing trucks down the road for 53 years now.

    i have to agree with the others, that looks like the person who replaced trans may have stripped a few bolts.
  17. tjc transport
    wow!! nice truck!
  18. tjc transport
    maybe they will be Paul, but my bet it we will not see that happening within the next 15-20 years.

    Remember class racing before they tried leveling the field with bracket racing Larry?

    my experience is if i am going out with the low boy i pretrip looking for trouble spots and plan alternate routes. then pre trip them too. but that goes back to when i ran the escort service. if anything happened, it was on ME not the driver, because i planned the trip route.
  22. tjc transport
    i stopped watching after they started leveling the playing field with all cars need to be the same, ,and yellow flag third to last lap to put everyone back in a pack for last two laps. which was also when all the REAL drivers retired. that was around 20 years or so ago.

    yup, i noticed the arms coming down on the trailer..... that meant the lights were flashing before he tried crossing. i bet he also tried shifting on the tracks to grab a higher gear, which is a BIG no no.
