  2. Not sure, checking my charts
  3. 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
  4. They have a certain look about them. I can't quite put my finger on it
  5. 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
  6. I don't think I ever saw a 6 volt B Model. Not even a 6 volt L cab that I can remember
  7. Deregulation started under Carter
  8. "Rebuilt Engine" can mean a lot of things. Who did the rebuild? What is their idea of "rebuilt"?
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. Be interesting to see what this one goes for 1992 FORD LTL9000 T/A DAYCAB VIN: 1FTYA90R8NVA29744 Odometer Reads: 284346 Engine: Cummins N14 Dual Fuel Tank SP: 13 Manual PS: Yes Axles: Tandem Susp: Air Front Wheels: Aluminum Rear Wheels: Aluminum Visor: Yes Notes: New batteries, turbo, brakes, and power steering pump, but no documents for work done, drums and wheel seals on 3 axles, like new tires. Stock # 84405 https://www.equipmentfacts.com/listing/upcoming-auctions/242705623/1992-ford-ltl9000-day-cab-trucks?gtmlt=1&_ga=2.127833037.117426335.1743117718-1288162443.1742961771
  15. 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
  16. Yeah about 5. The 3406E was better. I ran a Cat 3406E and it was a great engine until it wasn't. Cat can be very expensive to fix
  17. The frame is rust jacked, and if you look at the pictures it appears to be a homemade double frame that doesn't extend to the front axle. That's a parts truck. If I drank a fifth of Tequila, smoked crack, and shot LSD into my jugular vein, I wouldn't pay 45k if I had a million in cash in my pocket
  18. It's a 41 year old cabover, repowered with a 30 year old M11, with paint and lots of shiny stuff bolted to it. It looks like problems. They only made the MH for about 8 years. There are not many left to rob for parts. They haven't made them in 34 years. Salvage yards don't save old cabover cabs, you are going to be searching some farmer's junk when you need anything. And who the hell did the M11 repower? Did they even have a clue as to what they were doing? And why a M11 and not an N14? Why do you want a MH so bad? There are lots of better more plentiful trucks out there. And if "looking cool" is any part of your business plan, you are going to mess up
  19. They throw around the word "Nazi" too much "A homonymic term Nazi was in use before the rise of the NSDAP in Bavaria as a pet-name for Ignaz and (by extension from that) a derogatory word for a backwards peasant, ." Basically it's calling someone a stupid hillbilly. It reminds me too much of how Hillary Clinton called those WV miners a "Basket of Deplorables"
  20. We were cutting them like crazy then. Even fairly late models. Hardly anyone wanted them. Lots got made into conventional gliders. If you are doing local work and in and out of the truck all day, all that climbing gets hard on the body. Most of what people call "Cabovers" that are designed for city work are actually cab forward trucks with low entry
  21. Local 825?
