That’s what I was thinking to disconnect the wires from the alternator,will do this tomorrow,will let you know what I come up with.Tks for the help.

Joey,no there has not had any electrical work.I will check the switch you are talking about tomorrow.With the key off should there be any power coming out of the switch?My electric guy tells me that the alternator has a slight draw on it.He is going to replace it on Monday.Any other throughts?

My r model volt meter has a reading with the with the key switch either on or off, is this normal?Or should I be looking for a short?

Mine has a reading with the key switch off,any ideas on where I should start looking for the draw?

Have a question for you all.My 79 r model when the key is turned off should the volt meter be reading anything or should it be reading nothing?

Looking for a couple of springs for my truck.Part number is 58AX199, they go on the bottom of the lower radiator tank.

Tks.

Has anyone here ever registered a trailer in Maine?I am here in Pa and would like to register a storage trailer in Maine.

Try Watts, they had them at the Macungie show this year I brought 2 of them.

Tks, back home but will keep in mine the next time I go.

Going to Denver this week anything to see or do?

What’s everyone using to clean and seal fuel tanks?How are you doing it,little big and heavy to shake by yourself.I was thinking of rigging up a swing to shake it up.

That’s the one I need going to check it out and see how much shipping is.Tks

I’m not against good union wages,but how long can a company stay in business paying truck drivers $170,000 a year.

What’s this I hear that they signed a great deal with the teamsters.Does anyone anything.

I will be out in Colorado at the end of September (daughter getting another tattoo).I can’t get over the scenery out there.I will head up to Cheyenne Wyoming area for the day,going to check out a fella that has a antique caterpillar collection.Any truck collection out there.

I would like a steel one,and the Mack dealership in my area is Bergery’s and they have one but I thought it was a bit pricey $300 just thought someone would have a used one.

I am looking for a battery box lid for my 79 r model.

I made the same trip back around 1980 but we continued on to California.

Do you have any on the 1979 R686ST or 1964 B 873sx?

Doubleclutchinweasel,you mentioned Phillips&Jordan were they a land clearing outfit?Reason I ask I think we used them on a job we did in Frackville Pa back in the early 90’s.

I am going to restart the restoration of my b87.It has been held up the last years by a multiple things,caring for my mom,working full time,lost of inside storage and a few others.I still don’t have inside storage but I will be putting a roof over it (I hope). Now a little about the truck,it been in the family since new.It was delivered in May 29 1964.It has the big Cummins motor a whopping 335hp nothing compared to today’s motors.I have all of the original paperwork for the truck.It has 65,000 rears,20,000 front axle.Dad paid $27,300 for it,far cry from todays prices.The picture of it on the lowboy was taken at Gerhart’s.I want to think these trucks were sort of custom built,my thinking behind this is I haven’t seen another one just like it.Well wish me luck,I’ll try to keep you all up to date on the progress on the truck.I will start with getting it running in the next month or so.Truck is in Philadelphia so feel free to give me a call if your in the area.

Very nice looking truck.Hope my b873sx turns out as nice.

Tks,Mark T that’s the way I mounted them,
