  1. Yeah, the 2 valve was much tougher. PLM pumps on the 4 valve kinda sucked too. APE pump was much better
  2. I wonder if you could get the kind of manifold pressure needed for like 600 HP from a Roots type blower. so you could make it sound like this and get a little flame out the stack
  3. You can't flow time that pump?
  4. Yeah, that is about the power level I was thinking. It looks like there is enough room and frontal area to get the cooling you'd need in there. It has to be as big as a 379 I would think What do you think about having windshields that open like the early L cab? Three hinge doors and a more modern door latch would strengthen up the cab
  5. I wonder if the dies still exist to stamp out an LTL Could you imagine if you could buy an LTL glider kit
  6. You have to admit. The new truck is much better looking than this old obsolete thing
  7. McCaffery's is a pretty upscale store, but that one is in a rich liberal area. Jim McCaffery is a pretty good solid republican guy. When his store burnt to the ground some years back, he kept paying his employees for months until the store was rebuilt, nobody got laid off or missed a paycheck

  9. Not sure, checking my charts
  10. Maybe, but paying 5k for it you aren't going to make any money parting it out. I think you'd be in the red numbers
  11. They have a certain look about them. I can't quite put my finger on it
  12. I'm not buying those numbers. Some of us on here are worth that much of not more. I know I have quite a few friends who are worth that if not more. Look at the prices of homes and property. I know guys who worked factory jobs and invested in real estate that is worth an easy million Schumer is hiding his wealth somehow
  13. I don't think I ever saw a 6 volt B Model. Not even a 6 volt L cab that I can remember
  14. Deregulation started under Carter
  15. "Rebuilt Engine" can mean a lot of things. Who did the rebuild? What is their idea of "rebuilt"?
  16. Maybe 3 long tons of unprocessed truck scrap and some trash to get rid of. Any parts you can sell is just a little bit of gravy
  17. They put a transmission funnel down alongside the shifter. Or they cut a hole in the sleeper floor for other body functions. I guess it helps keep the DOT from going under the truck
  18. I can remember going through lots of fuel filters. Back in the day before red fuel was a thing we had a guy that did oil tank removal and cleaning on an industrial scale. (I'll bet you know where this is going lol) He had an old Transtar with the right headlight panel and part of the bumper torn off and a bunch of old tank trailers (One without baffles, but that's another story) and he had bible passages painted on all his stuff. Well when he got a load that was kind of clean looking, he'd sell it to some guys I knew who had bulk tanks at their yard for next to nothing. But damn the algae it spread. I found out about Kathon FP .005 from my dad who worked developing it and dosed the tanks. It killed it, but the dead algae was still in the fuel. I built a bypass filtering setup and it helped some, but everybody was still going through lots of filters. Everybody kept buying it though while it lasted. Changing filters like every week or two was cheaper than buying fuel at the pump.
  19. I like a cougars blonde with some kind of animal print something like this Reminds me of back in the day before they were all lefty lunatics, or maybe I just didn't know. Good either way I guess
  20. I've never really used Baldwin, so no personal experience. But I know a lot of guys that won't run Baldwin filters. Personally I always try to run factory filters. Probably because I grew up looking at that tag on the Mack filter bases that said "Warranty Void" lol

  22. Looking around at the Truck Paper site I'm seeing insane prices for stuff that needs lots of work before you can put it in service. I really don't think anyone is paying those kind of numbers. Especially to use to haul general freight. The money just isn't there
