Hi, how old was the colt? I have one from US Army from 1917, the one I have has a unique story where it was found to. Grant
-
Hi, there is a lot there. where they all go is beyond me at this stage, but will be a full bottle with it when its all on. I had to go all new, safety first, the thing has been sitting for 15years at least, so putting new stuff on is better, it has all new boosters aswell so if the thing doesnt stop I can ask why! safety first! all steering bits are new to, the motor,gearbox and diffs are not new, but they wont hurt any one if they fail. plumbing is going to be a challenge Grant

Hi, there is alot of valves on these trucks to make them stop, i just bought 1300.00 dollars worth, 15 valves in total, what the heck do they all do? Grant

Hello, the book I have shows a heap of parts, but doesnt say if I can just pop the cover off and put it all on. I would expect that is the case? if not I may have to run a small pulley off crank? Grant

Hi, I will be doing the same when the 375 goes bang. rocker panels still available from mack, it comes with the under side section to. Grant
-
Hello, I see, thank you, so it looks like I need a pulley, and a gear maybe? to run that air con. I assume its all ready inside the motor, I just need to get the outer drive assembly. would this be correct? Grant
-
Hello, no worries, thank you, so it runs direct off crank shaft then? its getting there. I cut the cab brace off to, will make again with exhaust there, have sorted the exhaust out now. the bolts at back of cab, I take it there to mount the exhaust? there is 2 1/2 bolts on either side about 3/4 up the cab. I am running twin 5inch straight through stacks, 5 inch off engine and then into twin 5s. Grant

Cab Location Again.
ducky698 replied to ducky698's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
Hello, thankyou for the info, it looks like the hood is fine then, I didnt like how it sat above the chassis, it seemed to far back. my biggest drama is I am using frame rails from a flintstone 69 model, a bogie drive from a 1975 F model a front spring and shackle assembly from a 1975 F model aswell as the 866 engine, the steering box and cab are from a 1989 R model, so I have bits from everything and the hood is from a 1974 R700 and a 20speed gearbox from a Kenworth. but its getting there, this forum and everyone on it has helped tremendously. regards Grant -

Hello, thats an interesting measureing stick you have there. they are the same, its in the correct spot., the hood sits above the chassis tho, not in front of it. thought it may be to far back but maybe its not? thankyou for the pics and info, I now no the cab is correct, so the hood must be ok to.

XXX oversize hey, mmm nothing wrong with XXX yes milimtres is fine thanks, will measure today, the holes I have used for cab mount ar as per your pics, just the hood sits over the top of the chassis at front. this may be correct, but with out a R700 or superliner kicking around here its a bit hard to take a look at another one., plenty of R600s, but no R700s, I have like 20cms at front of cab to turbo on 866 engine. I see the hood mounts are off the radiator, will avoid that design I think? thankyou for the measurements. regards Grant -

Hello, i will probably use tie rods, have to make all of it, i have the pics you sent before of cab location, wich is i assume the same bolt holes as what i have used, but whe you go to front of the truck the hood tends to sit over top of the chassis, not in front of it. there is also alot of room behind engine to cab, appeared to be to much? Grant
-
Hi, is this cab in correct spot for an R700? the hood seems to come back over the rails slightly. regards Grant
-
Hello, its a 20speed spicer. am not sure if my cab is in correct spot either, will put a post in cab section for that. I hope it is, as its going to be a pain to shift. regards Grant
