  1. When i was young my uncle would take me with him to work cleveland brothers and i always got a ride on a bulldozer that started it for me. My next door neighbor Ray is a good guy he was off work when i was about 12 and he would take me with him for a ride on his dirt bike. Fast forward and i am hauling his grandkids around on my quad. Those acts of kindness when i was young stuck with me . I bet that could be a photo of anyone of us when we were young.
  2. When i was getting my parts up to my local money pit jay said i should put an aluminum tank on my truck he would give me a good deal on one i would like to but i just don't have it figured out how to get one with steps that don't stick out to far i have tig and mig aluminum welding machines but i is quit a job putting steps in a used tank. Any thoughts on what to do? I can't afford the stock original b model tank.
  3. I just repainted my tank and i never noticed it before and i don't like it if the back was pushed out even i think it would help to get in the cab.
  4. On my b model right side steel fuel tank it doesn't look right is there spacers on the rear tank bracket? Are the brackets both the same mine are?
  5. I wish i knew how many brake jobs on trucks i did in 40 years. my b is a single axle with a flatbed i use it to bring home round bales for my goats.
  6. No mine is red and i do all the work myself .
  7. I have a good mack rear it is a 464 ratio s cams new drums shoes bearings seals one new type 30 maxi. it has 11-22.5 tires on it i ran it up to this winter i put an air ride under my truck.
  8. What is the rear ratio that is in it now and what is your rpm when your at 55 mph?
  9. Don't forget about sterling trucks they used chains.
  10. I remember i would be out on a service call and on any job site there was more than one 2 stroke running.I use to help my friend drill wells and he had a 671 dd. after standing by it for the day it was hard on my hearing.
  11. No it does not thanks for asking
  12. The guy i got my b model from had his dad''s gmc fixed up it had a 4 or 6 Detroit looked like the same type of truck.
  13. I had the pleasure of running 769's 773's and 777's and they beat you a lot worst than any on road trucks. In the strippings you would hit a bounce and i would be airborne when i would get loaded with a big excavator it would shake the crap out of you and when you tipped your load sometimes it would lift the front wheels off the ground it was a hard return to the ground.
  14. Rob thanks for the offer but i haven't got it of the trans yet . I was going to leave it on but it lays right where my exhaust pipe goes and i don't want to redo the exhaust.
  15. My garage is haunted when i lay a tool down it disappears as soon as it get out of my hands. And the gravity in my garage is three times what it is anywhere else it's hell to get up of the floor. My hips and knee hurt so bad last night it felt like my old donkey kicked the crap out of me. And sense i'm bitchen about old age i got a ford pickup i have to get a step stool out to get in the back i guess it was designed by really tall people.
  16. Yesterday i pulled the duplex out and this morning me and my buddy slid in the triplex. Boy am i glad i don't have to do this stuff for a living anymore. Time i got to the driveshaft i was looking to knock off for the day.
