Well, let's Hope (what a strategy???) that this Obama promise is as good as some of his others. 900 billion will have to take a swing through congress and maybe the 2014 election will get some of the fools in DC out before his new scheme is presented.

Looking at the ratios, there is no true progression to use LL other than getting out of a hole, mud, etc. We will need some video of the stick mixing action sometime!

My B75 had one mounted between the fender and the fuel tank. Now has three spin on filters.

I looked through some of my Mack literature and Mack calls the TRQ-720 and TRQ-7210 a 20 spd trans. The B model operations manual then includes a ratio chart showing the TRQ-720 (20 spd) has 16 speeds that are available for practical use and the TRQ-7210 (20 spd) has 14 speeds for practical use. Mack list the TRQ-770 and the TRQ-7220 as 18 spd overgear transmissions. There is a list of all the ratios with none deleted that are impractical, going backwards or super close. Following the progression of ratios in the chart, I get 14 speeds for the TRQ-7220 and 16 speeds for the TRQ-770. Understand this is my speculation and is not official Mack info. I was trying to find official Mack info on the gears that weren't practical for use. In the BMT Wiki, there is a list of the quadbox ratios.

That's the truth!

Better to have a topic turn to boobs instead of turning to shit. Always such a mess to clean up....

Yeah, that rig has been run through the wash on this site so many times I am surprised it hasn't shrunk.

How many light bulbs need changing?

Pulled the number out of his ass.

There you go!

I am about 1 hr. and 15 min. Whatcha looking at?

The Suson is a killer picture! It looks like it has the B53 type heavy front spokes. Wonder what happened to the bulldog on the nose? Did the local kids scavenge it or did the company remove it?

Hey, at least they had a plan.

Nice bars out front!

As with any old car or truck project, find the best for your budget. Unless you really want a project!!! RUST is the thing that can kill a budget unless you are good at sheet metal and paint repair. If the engine sounds good and decent oil pres., it will probably run forever as a hobby truck. Brakes really aren't a budget buster even if it needs everything and is not an area where you want to cheap out.

It is posted in the Marketplace on the Big Macks main page in the Trucks For Sale category. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/29791-1976-mack-f786st/

Does this help any? Don't recall what trans. this plate is for.

Dunno.... Virgo 1-800-270-6003 or Google their site.

Maybe try calling http://www.virgofleet.com/‎

I think most of the small rad B73, etc are going to be on the left coast. Long shot but Craigslist for NV, NM UT, WA may turn up something over time.

Nice job of fishing on the web for trucks pics! What is the length of the wrecker drive shaft? Must be only about 8 inches!

What is the recipe for "anti ass kicking" BBQ sauce? I'm in trouble most days.

Donaldson makes scoop pre cleaner snorkel. There usually are some available on flea bay. There is also Maradyne Power Ram.

Gee, too bad they didn't have enough money in the budget... That is going to look great! Any chance it will make the trip to Macungie when complete?

Talk about flushing out the lines....
