  1. Did Ford have the C model in 1962?
  2. Need AC Brake bands, magnetos and carburetors??
  3. What about jets? Obama, Al gore and Nancy Pelosis personal aircraft spew more pollutants (and Bull crap) in one trip than all the trucks do in a few months. Simple solution make California a 100% Amish state. No cars, buses,trains, planes motorcycles zip on it all. Mandate balloons, gliders, horse, donkey and dog carts only. Give the Governor a pair of roller blades. CARB manager Keshav Sahay and LA Port manager Art Wong should both be used to animal carts from their country
  4. Green AC windshield assy $600 Yellow AC windshield assy $950 AC rad assy $100 AC 4 speeds $100 each AC engines $100 each AC rears $100 each AC hoods $300 each 5 pair of AC penumatic tires, wheels and drum/drive sprokets $50 2 skides of AC internal and external brake linings plus $50 Quad box $150
  5. It's 2 piece with the shock mounts and lower bag mount bolted to it with what looked like 3/8 grade 8 bolts/ nyloc nuts. Should be easy to fab something up if needed from a piece of rectanguler tube.
  6. Went and took a few for you.Left of the bag is the leveling valve. Paul click pics
  7. $45 for a pile of scrap wood! Like buying dirty N.Y.C. snow.
  8. There is a Superliner at the MACK dealer about a mile from me with the Air Ride cab. I'll got out an shoot a few photos of it for you. I tried to buy the truck a few weeks ago but not for sale at any price I was told. Paul
  9. Almost looks like an a post WWII L series with a local manufactured cab on it.
  10. Best bet is to hire a broker / import agent to do all the paper work, fees and duties to get it out of Canada and through U.S. customs. Be ahead in the long run. If you don't have all the paper work in order 100% it could lay at the border in limbo for a long time.
  11. Nice country!! Eating Bear this winter? What did you use for the under water photos?
  12. I use the cones to feed my bassets, saves cleaning up the drool.
  13. Originally thought up to be marketed against the Dodge A series forward control trucks.
  14. Key off, un plug the ISC and start to see if the idle drops (there is also a base idle screw on the body to mechanically set the idle at about 650 /700 rpm) if it dropped a new ISC from Auto Zone or Napa is about $20.00
  15. It involves about 6 different algebraic formulas with this info plus more needed. Engine cubic inch. RPM, CFM, #PM, Ambient Air temp, Altitude, Barometric pressure, Flow loss through Air Filter, Exhaust temp, Exhaust pressure and Fuel use per hour, Air inlet temp, Air outlet temp and Power band desired.
  16. Israel has a Min/ Max allowable height for main lighting for everything, even armor. Paul
  17. Probably a bad cab to chassis ground cable, but your fix by passes it so it should be good to go.
  18. Automotive change over started around 1972 or 73. Gm used to color code Blue all metric fasteners Ford had a Black coating. A lot of techs bitched at having to buy metric tools, luckily I worked for BMW in 1968 to 1970 when you still could be an apprentice and had most metric tools.
  19. Don't see why not. You could also call Garrett and see what VGT is a direct replacement for the stock one on your engine.
  20. Welcome aboard! Good people here all willing to share knowledge. Paul
  21. Sweet. It looks factory! Paul
  22. Ford seems to have the best success with the VGT units both on Diesels and the Eco Boosted gas engines. Getting a smaller turbo from a salvage yard is possible if you do a "compressor map" to match the boost verses rpm and Power bands. With out that the turbos will end up "fighting" each other and you'll lose power, economy and have emissions issues. I gained most of the knowledge working with Ohio George Montgomery setting up my SVT Mustang. Went through the compound turbo verses twin Garrett Eco Boost style turbos verses turbo and an axial blower combo.
  23. Welcome here! Superliner sounds like a plan.. Any photos of your dads MACKS? Paul
  24. VGT units the intake aperture not the vanes are controlled by a one of the following. A vacuum actuator, electric servo actuation, 3-phase electric actuation, hydraulic actuator or air actuator using air-brake system pressure. A few years ago Suprock Technologies released a VGT turbocharger controller that is capable of actuating any variable geometry turbocharger based on sensor parameters including pressures, temperatures, and shaft speed. This controller enables vehicles that aren't originally equipped with a VGT to make use of the technology for increased performance and efficiency. The controller is capable of calculating turbo performance based on engine and exhaust temperatures, exhaust pressure, air flow, and compressor behavior. The turbo compressor efficiency among other parameters that are displayed on a gauge pod located in the dash board. The Garrett Variable Vane uses both rotating vanes of their design or the Cummins patented Sliding vane mechanical technology depending on application.
  25. Bunch of small departments on Long Island still running about fifty pieces of apparatus from the 50's to early 70's MACKS. East Norwich F.D. is one of who still uses as a back up pumper a 1952 with two sticks.
