    the ONLY good thing about ATHS is the book. the shows are mostly all big shot. not much for the small, one truck guy. your a peon and they let you know it, not to mention payin your ass off for everything the show offers including registering your truck oh and Admission to the show each and every day

    2-3 inches.then after you weld i have poured more inside and rolled it around to cover the welded spot

    Hiho was a big body company for the DM and DMM trucks back then

    i have filled B model tanks with water, ground the welds smooth, then took a sharpie and drew a line around and cut the ends off with a sawsall. have it sandblasted in and out and coated inside with Red Cote, leaving it a few inches from edge, then welded ends back on, poured more Red Kote i and swished it around where it was welded. all good for Diesel but if its a gas truck you cant put and garbage Ethanol gas in it or it will eat the Red Kote off

    poor old guy. one of the last true outlaws. its a shame my favortie single ole Waylon treated Billy Joe like shit in the beginning barley wanting to record his songs, songs that Waylon made hits

    kinda odd it has a black interior with old 73ish steps on the front of tanks. werent black interiors like 79-84 ish?? maybe it had a cab swap already?
  8. Maddog13407
    i have always thought an 80's early90's Chevy motorhome chassis would be a good starting point for a custom small B model build

    probably a J8C champion. they loved those

    6v53 in a B85 would have a bigger bell. probably a 2 with a 67 series trans. i have a 401 or two i would let go for cheap. probably need a ring job as they smoke but can hear run
  11. Maddog13407
    a 464 or 540 would not have a 24 volt starting system. wire the governor open.... cough cough. let her run
  12. Maddog13407
    did you ever find one?
  13. Maddog13407
    12 v positive ground unless something was changed
  14. Maddog13407
    just bought one a month ago from Napa for a full flow bypass 750. your talkin to the wrong parts guys
  15. Maddog13407
    59 or so was the 1st year for the stamped brake pedal give or take. the old cast ones actually use to snap off
  16. Maddog13407
    that truck is a 56 57 or 58. cast brake pedal and the dash is normal. plus it has the old style huge hand brake and fuel guage reads 1/4 1/2 3/4, they got rid of that guage around 59
  17. Maddog13407
    pic of the dash and crossmembers in frame would help narrow it down, horns on a pedestal, old style mirror brackers and windshield motor under dash put it at a 58 and older.
  18. Maddog13407
    had a 673 once that would turn one way , stop, turn other way and stop. yup one valve was open and it ended up having a Mouse nest on top of the piston.
  19. Maddog13407
    and had alot better look to them than radials....
  20. Maddog13407
    back when you could get away with running banana skin tube type tires and the Dot didnt care,,,
  21. Maddog13407
    same here, been noticing a few kw, petes and a bunch of Ih s running the NYS thruway lately
  22. Maddog13407
    that Deere hitting the railroad bridge was an expensive oops...........
  23. Maddog13407
    door decals in a 4500 silverado still read International . thats a piss in the eyeball there. cant even print your own vin number decals in the door jamb. dont get me wrong this truck is a pullin sob with the wrecker body on but god there are some things on it that make you scratch your head
  24. Maddog13407
    we were a GM Chevy Olds dealer, thats why. no ovals or cumaparts around here. ours is a 4500. and badges Chevy althought every tag in the door jambs says International
  25. Maddog13407
    we had to have the dealer come to the shop with GM software to program the pto to turn on and at what rpm to run it even tho the switch was in the dash. yes being a tow truck its a pain in the ass to have to hit switch, undo brake to move the truck forward 2 feet if your in recovery situation, sometimes where life is in danger. as of now neither GM nor aftermarket makes front mudflaps for these i dont think. ours is 4 by 4 so i wonder if thats another reason the turning radius is poor. makes for interesting turn on the interstate when you have to do a U turn
