back in the day, volunteer firefighters needed the old Class 2. a saturday was set up with the MV inspectors and all the locals would show up with about a total of 80 guys. No need for pre-trip stuff. just get in, take a drive, done. Lots of guys would join the vollies just to get a Class 2 , then get a job driving dump trucks. When it came my turn, the truck we brought, about 1959 Ford tanker, the clutch was worn pretty good. My drive was maybe a mile. Done. got a job with a company that rented bulldozers, backhoes and stuff. Needed a Class 1. No pre-trip, just a drive. No backing stuff. When the change to the CDL came, I could have been grandfathered to Class A, but moved to Florida too soon. Had to start at the basic. Company had their own inspectors so it was a bit easier. Now at Class B, but have thought about getting an A. Local community college has a program that will help experienced drivers. Hourly rate for the truck/trailer and rider. Its run by Sage Schools. Maybe this winter

Well.............we got Vinnie

Ask your "friends" how thing are on the Pete or KW forum Ask then if they can find the build sheets for a 1952 Find out if they can find a reasonable resale value on that same truck

Thanks. Trying to get info from the local Mack dealer is a challenge sometimes. I feel a very slight vibration now and I believe it is too high. Before it was low and you could really feel it.

ben chasing a problem with the air suspension on the truck. Thought problem was the control valve, bought one. Before i could install, the control rod bottom piece broke. Got a replacement for it and have played around to adjust it. I know too little will ruin u-joints. Is there a problem with too much? Not easy to get at as I have to raise boom, and body to get to it. I can crawl in the dirt to adjust from underneath Thanks, Ed

congrats on the BIG win!!!! How many trucks were running at the end?

Nope-not me. don't have the "power" button

Y'all still have that B model that needed an air comp.? If yes, details please. Live about 3 hours away

Welcome! Maybe RandyP could make use of that so 'Ol Killer don't get kilt Do you know where Daingerfield is? If so, stay away Love the sound of them 237's

My son is in The Woodlands until the end of November. going to UTI-diesel school Next to the "post" button-hit "more reply options" On the bottom of that page, you willshould see a "browse" tab Click that and then select pics. Click "add to post" it will show up , then "post"

Should i post the picture again?

Y'all are moving right along on the project. Looks real good

Some one had to yell out "ICEBERG AHEAD!!!!!"

I did use my truck to do a cab swap last year. Was an older Chevy p/u. Would have to really search to find video

Foot swing? run it all day long But no Vinny, I'm not going up there to help set the cab on. Too much $$$$$$$$$$$ here to miss.

Pics of the g/f would do

tell Papa he did a fine job. What is the status of motor/transmission? Maybe trying to get it running for your first day of school. Oh,BTW, he forgot one door

Y'all should come down to the beach here for a "water dog" OD has the pic needed

12 pk? thats a ten minute job- 2 cans at best As long as the rears haven't rotated any, couple wrenches, tighten good. If they have rotated a little, a come-a long can help get them in position
