  1. Acme Markets used to install a Pedigree and a brand new dressed out cab. Came out pretty nice. I think the Pedigree was about 6500 then. They did a bunch like that
  2. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1BCF5aKodY/
  3. Damn that is pretty. Brings back memories
  4. WTF? Dude, you are here with the wrong attitude. Almost everyone here is an old timer with decades of experience. Maybe you need to be on some Billy Big Rigger site
  5. Smells like BS. But it's bitchute. Some of it is way out there, some is really good. It's where the stuff goes that is censored by youtube for whatever reason, if nothing else you can always find something entertaining Personally I think a lot of NJ stuff is civilian aircraft, and a few I have no idea
  6. I love BitChute https://www.bitchute.com/video/6ZqWysLtVx5n
  7. Please God save us
  8. Don't get strung out by the way that I look Don't judge a book by its cover I'm not much of a man by the light of day But by night I'm one hell of a lover I'm just a sweet transvestite From Transexual, Transylvania Pennsylvania
  9. Here is a used one. If it's right they are 90 degrees out of phase. I've got to think about this. Maybe I'm having a senior moment, but I don't ever remember having to put much thought into designing a steering shaft. Maybe I just got lucky
  10. If something is binding it should be pretty obvious. It's got to be yoke hitting yoke. I've never had that problem and I've done a lot. I've even had to make a few of my own steering shafts for obsolete equipment and conversions and had no problem. But if something is binding it should be easy to see. He could just turn it if it makes it not bind. If the angles are all strange it's not like it's going to lead to a problem like as if it were a power transmission shaft.
  11. Yeahl. Right after Covid they started running in there hot and heavy again for over a year, maybe two. Only difference was it was Pa trucks, and only during the day. They started doing site work. blasting, dynamic compaction, they even had this thing working over there with it's 7 yard bucket Hey hope you are feeling better, and have an easy recovery.
  12. I don't think the angle of the shaft on the steering box and at the bottom of the column are are even the same, so in phase or out of phase shouldn't make a difference. When you phase a drive shaft it's only so one u joint cancels out the speed variations caused by the other. It causes a vibration problem, not a binding problem. Nobody is turning a steering wheel fast enough for that
  13. 35 years ago you could have bought a real Mack like a DM or an RD with 55 or 65,000 rears with an E6-300 and felt like you were a Real American doing things The American Way.
  14. A lot of that stuff sounds like a maintenance and repair nightmare to me. Although 770 HP sounds interesting. I wonder if they hold up well. And how expensive they are to fix
  15. In a snow storm while drinking Colt 45 and hitting a bottle of Nikolai Vodka
  16. Looks like they did it with damp 6011 rod using an AC buzz box
  17. Oh God, that frame splice is ugly. And the torsion bar is nothing but obsolete junk. They weren't all that good when they were brand new. Look at that sharp internal angle on the aluminum portion. That's just asking for a crack. That frame job looks like something you'd see on truck doing intermodal drayage in north jersey in the 1970's
  18. Yeah I guess those restrictions are kind of hard to live with in 2024. You know they were hauling clean dirt from excavation jobs in NNJ all the way here and dumping it in an old strippinng hole. They told me it was cheaper to haul it here than to follow all the regs to dump it in Jersey. And I'm talking massive amounts. Sometimes trucks lined up 1/4 mile up the street and running 24/7. Paying 25 a ton to dump
  19. I don't like them. They look like something a Democrat or some kind of other Socialist/Marxist would drive
  20. I'd like to see what the guy looks like that paid 41K for a 1970 359 with frame cracks from rust jacking and a small cam cummins Even the 4 way aux is only rated for about 8000 ft lbs input
  21. Doesn't a "Constructor" Code 41 registration get you around that?
  22. What The Truck!.html2What The Truck!.htmlWell The blue one belonged to his half brother "Gus". We grew up in the same neighborhood and went to school together. I remember when he got it like 40 years ago all in primer. When we were like 16 he got a DM800 dump and quit school to run it doing subway construction in Philadelphia. He was operating the salt pier up in Fairless Hills Pa next to the steel mill. Whole operation, unloading the ships and all. Right after new year 2014 he was running a loader and the salt pile collapsed on him. I believe he died from suffocation. RIP Gussie Here are some of his other toys http://www.guspropper.com/whatthetruck/index.html What The Truck!.html 2What The Truck!.html
  23. You know he has Gus Policino. B81 don't you? It's red now
  24. After watching the news I now understand. The guy in this picture wearing a funny hat. was a far right, white supremacist, Islamophobe, xenophobe, cis male, homophobic and transphobic. So he ran his car into a crowd of Christians celebrating the birth of Jesus, because he hated Muslims so badly. Now it all makes perfect sense
  25. You are forgetting about all the fluids spilled, and holes dug to bury anything they needed to get rid of. Going back 30 plus years ago everybody operated like slobs. I can think of a few guys cutting up utility transformers to get the copper and just letting the oil run on the ground. Lead acid batteries got broken, mercury switches got smashed, all kinds of shit went on the ground without a thought
