  6. You know now that I think about it those things were so hefty I am surprised a lot of them were not all wheel drive they actually look like they should be I have a model of one I bought 20 years ago and only finished maybe 1/3 of it the rest of it is still sitting in the box interested in finishing it one of these days ha ha .. Bob
  7. Also make sure you pump up the hand pump on the fuel line Make sure all the air is out otherwise it’s not going to start
  8. After sitting all that time I would remove all the injectors and shoot a bunch of mystery oil into the cylinders And let it sit a few days also remove the top oil line to turbo charger and shoot down there also and make sure pull off the shroud and spin the turbo charger several times by hand and make sure it is free and not Frozen before you do anything else good luck
  9. Excellent let’s keep it up thanks for sharing that… Bob

I know of one out here DM 800 dump truck been sitting in the same area for 26 years that I know of looks like it’s in pretty good shape drives me crazy to see it just sitting should be in my yard lol Bob
  19. You could be raking it in with a unit like that especially word of mouth business
  20. Oooooooooooo ya I’ll bet I was looking at a 63 galaxy in Tennessee couple years ago real good price but I didn’t even bother going any further way too expensive to transport
  21. That is a really big problem especially coast to coast

  25. Growing up back there I really used to enjoy watching JP noonan trucks and shawmutt transportation they both had gorgeous equipment I was really surprised I was in Peabody Massachusetts about 10 years ago and saw a JR Noonan tanker on route one and I was surprised it was still painted the same colors but it was a T800 kenworth After all these years the paint didn’t look any different.. bob
