Please God save us

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Looks like they did it with damp 6011 rod using an AC buzz box

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

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

I don't like them. They look like something a Democrat or some kind of other Socialist/Marxist would drive

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

Doesn't a "Constructor" Code 41 registration get you around that?

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

You know he has Gus Policino. B81 don't you? It's red now

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

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

Mike Nugent used to have a lot of heavy spec B model stuff in trailers from Gus Sr. I kind of remember seeing some of that stuff at A&A truck parts in Jersey. Maybe Deerfield down in South Jersey. Have you talked to Tony Desandro at Ace auto parts in Bensalem, he might know somebody. Let me know if you can't find it. I know some places up here that were still running stuff like that in the mines not too long ago

All too far away for me to even think about. The only thing I'd even be interested in would have been the LT. But not for that price. I'm really more into the heavy spec L cabs

Pictures look nice, I'd definitely look underneath it before I bid though. Sometimes the structure and suspension are nightmares

And that Wrecker. I know where there is a late 70's 359, 400 cummins, 750 Holmes with a Kemp conversion. Running driving truck, the guy is using it. Only thing I saw is it needs some suspension bushings. And I could have it for less than 20K. A 750 with a Kemp conversion is still a serious recovery truck, they were tough as nails

IU think this guy was hitting the crack pipe or doing acid. Not even any desirable components. 335 small cam WTF?

What a load of crap, the media tries to spin everything. I guess all those Germans rammed his car with their bodies and then died
