Mean Green

Friend of mine got a job with penndot got his bright yellow shirts and couldn't figure out why the pocket was sewn on upside down ....didn't know that's where you put the shovel handle so you can sleep standing up 🤪

I bought my truck cause it was rough but not too rough the diesel with Jake brakes was big plus non turbo kinda sucked it had the gas rear so the ratio was terrible ended up shortening it got a diesel rear cheap in Ohio drove it for a while and it just keeps evolving .Back in Black a member here gave me a turbo and manifold so the cool factor went way up and I scored a tandem air ride for cheap so I put that under it now I'm doing a sleeper I look at it if it has good sheet metal your good no one is going to give you good tin work cheap everyone wants it but drive train stuff seems like it's more available you can work a good deal on something with a shot body and get a good drive train but a body is hard to find

Glenn is right I saw a guy rebuild an international engine and bout a half hour of running seized a piston rip it down fix it nother half hours seized a nother one had to pull them all out and replace all 6 when he installed the seals he rolled them into the groves and didn't take a screwdriver and run it around them to un roll them but those also look in terrible shape

Thats good it was contained to only one cyl by the amount of parts you had in the bottom of the pan I thought it would be way worse hope you can find everything you need to get it going again

If they make it too good you will have no need to buy a new one

I guess they had all those mail in ballets all ready filled out and didt want to waste them

I'm going to have to stock up on hoodies and cave man clubs

Just How .....????????

post some pics if it has good sheet metal your ahead of the game my doors were in very bad shape

yes moved and stopped on its own tires had new tread but were super dryrotted and it was a log truck guy wanted 6000 but took 5000 and kept the log bunk I was just going to cut it up . does the one your looking at still have a gas engine ?

My sister in law had me scrap a washing machine for her .Floped in in the truck and some money fell out got it home and kicked it off the truck and more money fell out .So after 10 min of flooping it around I made 12 bucks lol

Thanks for all the great pics Paul.Always love your stories and quotes they always make me laugh

I paid 5 grand for this b 42 with a diesel in it 7 years ago

it could be this truck was pieced together from a diesel truck or they used the body from a gasser as the sheet metal didn't Crack and break like a diesel model ..less vibration I know mine had the mount for the brake on the trans but all the other parts were mia

Awsome looking truck .Hope you find some fenders looks to be in good shape post some more pics !!

you can tell by the fill plug on the top of the diff

wow it look clean thats a good find it does have a double reduction rear in it

no problem good luck on your project

near pittsburgh if you can use it you can have it it also has 4 tubeless rims with it

I found if you post pics from your cell phone they take up too much of what you can down load to this site I screen shot the to make them less mb

if you need rear I have one that was out of my truck don't know where your from but it's just laying around

is yours a single axle or tandum mine was a single axle with a regular rear there is a flat spot on the carrier that will have your gear ratio stamped it in mine had 6.17 gears they never swapped it out when they but the 673 in it I ended up putting a double reduction 4.61 I think out of a diesel but have since removed it to air ride it

I like the bumper its diffent than a flat one truck looks to be in good shape I also have a b42 was the rear in yours changed to a diesel rear or are they still running a gas rear the ratios are way diffrent in them

I have the small gas job air cleaner still I was using it but after I put the turbo on I haven't made a pipe to hook it back up I would like to get one with the tall top but all I have found was junk ones for big money

I have never seen one in person lots of pics I would really like to check one out and see how it's built
