  1. Not volvo, it is a Fruehauf Aluminum body design for Henry Fords Post War Small Car Project. Ford felt he could put NASH in the ground with a Ford product. Powered by a 5 cylinder stamped steel engine, front wheel drive, with the same interior room as a 1941 Ford sedan and light enough to be as Ford Designer Gregorie stated "to be Peppy and economical at the same time" Ford died and Henry Ford II pushed the Shoebox stay and the English Ford so the post war small car died a quiet death. .
  2. Tell him Barry fixed the site he can probably use it now.
  3. On the R the 788 is a MACK E6 350 engine, sure it is the same on the RW series. Paul
  4. Try these people they do over 700 dual master conversion kits including 40's and early 50's Ford and GM with under floor masters and also do a remote booster unit. Your master cylinder fits more than your unit and they may have a dual conversion for it or be able to cross reference it over. I used them for my Valkri dual master conversion, 1941 Chevy and my 1951 Ford. All were 99% bolt in. Call their tech line or the 1 800 number and give them your info. http://www.mpbrakes.com/
  5. Using a drone to cite someone for not cutting their grass or picking up dog poop is beyond protecting you. As for terrorists the government now sees them every where from people who home school their children to veterans. We went to fly from Macarthur Airport to Portland Maine, I was pulled out for "Closer Scrutiny" because you're a combat veteran and a potential domestic terrorist we have you on the watch list. How does watching old people like me the have to do with security of the country? Just curious.
  6. Interesting history ,wish I could see it. http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2015/06/05/fruehauf-exhibit-to-highlight-the-history-of-semi-trailer-titan/?refer=news Singing Wheels site http://www.singingwheels.com/the-detroit-historical-museum-presents---fruehauf-history.html
  7. Suffolk county uses Aircraft to nab speeders and aggressive drivers...a good thing. Township of Riverhead uses RC Drones to find illegal pools, decks, sheds, additions, un mowed grass and unregistered vehicles. . .not a good thing. Fly over my farm and the last thing it will record is the muzzle flash.
  8. So, did ya buy it??
  9. Like you shoe!! Paul
  10. Is the MR parking brakes air applied or mechanical with a pedal or lever?
  11. http://igor.chudov.com/manuals/Detroit-Diesel/Detroit-Diesel-Series-53/Detroit-Diesel-Series-53-Service-Manual-01.pdf May help, used it for reference on gen set. Paul
  12. I had a customer sitting in his Le Car in entrance to my alignment bay telling me how great it was, when it caught on fire under the dashboard. He replaced it with a FIAT 131. Glutton for punishment I guess.
  13. Got full air to the brake system? Could the brake foot valve be bad?
  14. Why not contact Mike H aka "superdog" Bet he's got a few ideal ones for your B. Paul
  15. Sweet Red Ford Cement Mixer
  16. Funny , only Renault could use the Lucus (prince of darkness) Electrical System . . .and make even it worse.
  17. Nothing is friendly when it involves computers!
  18. Here is the link to the WIKI section. A diagram for R & U positive ground and one for 1983 R http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/tutorials/category/2-antique-classic-mack-info/?prune_day=100&sort_by=asc&sort_key=title&article_filter=all&st=80
  19. My Cat mail box holder will be down at my Va driveway in a month . . . re sprayed and relettered so it's bright and shinny
  20. Same most every where. My self and two long time friends have a tad over 900 acres together in Fork Union Va. The new McMansion across from my access road has more lights around the house and property that an airport. My contact was last week when I was leaving to come back to NY with my Marmon. The King of the McMansion asked how often this truck is coming and going and about the dust from the recycle access road we put in. I was speechless. Paul
  21. I live in NY the land of no. THis is an anti farm state. Originally it was a 100 mile radius and no limits on load or trailers. The down state yuppies felt the slow moving farm vehicles were interfering with their weekends. Cumo amended the law.
  22. THANKS BARRY!!!!
  23. 5 years old here on L.I. "your VIN does not appear in our system"
  24. Check your DMV regs. In NYS, my farm tags allow me to go no more than 25 miles from farm. I can tow a trailer for product delivery, repair or purchase. NYS has a total vehicle length reg before I need a permit. I'd go on line to your state DMV and DOT sight and get the regs.
