    I would’ve guessed around 65 or 66 if I had to take a wild guess

    According to Google search, seems Kenworth had it early 60s right after the original needle nose butterfly hood somewhere in there… bob

    Not sure I know the older Kenworth had a glass nose as well right around the same time. I think they both came out with the nose fiberglass same year. Claras think about it. I think Kenworth actually was first.

    Well, might have to scratch the sanding three guys out back installing a fence running this loud machine digging holes. Dogs won’t start barking. Might have to put it off another week oh well two more weeks and I have all the freetime I could handle.

    I’m thinking possibly fuel return line

    I am not sure what you’re talking about but I’m sure other guys will chime in and yes, I don’t think you’re gonna have to need that device. Just an option as I said I bought everything at Home Depot right off the shelves…. Right now mine keeps losing prime so I have to blow it just about every time I start it so far I’ve only changed the oil lines. Haven’t done anything with any other others yet…. It was starting with a little ether now that’s not even doing it after one week. It’s already got air in it. And I usually start every Saturday.

    my god,,,,,what a good lookin SOB for the price,you could probably put it to work,and not have any trouble with it for quite a while,,, thanks for that,,,,,,that sucker would look right nice in my driveway,,,you hear me?????? lol bob
  12. mowerman
    and yes i also have a 66DM and i would swear all my lines were original,although i dont know if thats possible
  13. mowerman
    if its very stubborn and still wont catch i made this up got everything at home depot to blow air into the fuel tank only around 20 lbs,,,the chrome thing is a fence post cap drilled a hole and put in this air nipple works like a champ,,,bob

    there is plenty of sources out there and yes they are all available dealer does not sell them on the roll anymore i just changed mine went to a hydraulic line shop in town got everything,,,and no you dont have to touch pump or injectors if you have a problem with priming after wards spin it over a few times with starting fluid untill it runs on its own good luck and yes the ends are reusable,,,bob

    The guys were disgusting cab similarities with the MB and the white 1500. I always thought the same thing about those old fire engines right there to me. The cab looks a lot like the white mustang cab. I never really paid that much attention but I don’t know how close they are, but they sure look alike. … bob

    Hell, I didn’t even think you were still active. Thanks for the photograph….. bob

    I think I had a 307 in my 70 Chevy pickup I bought the truck and the engine was done. I wound up putting a rebuilt long block in it. It was a target crate engine. I don’t think the 307 had that many miles on it, but it was smoking And pretty plumb wore out Bob

    And yes, Mecho I was one of the last ones I still do it once in a while but most of the time I flip the lights these days and I don’t even get a thank you so I pick and choose or ordinarily freight trucks UPS and cattle and hay drivers still have manners and they still talk on my CB… bob

    Also, I see why Xena from Florida is pissed ha ha… bob

    And Tom, I’m afraid that project has turned into a money pit for you. Sorry I thought that truck was going to be trouble free. All you would have to do is change the oil and a tuneup once in a while oh well gives you something to do….. bob
  21. mowerman
    Mark, you’re so clever I had not thought of that touché bud ha ha sorry Joey had to chime in… bob
  22. mowerman
    My God I’m so sorry to hear that but your stories are never boring Paul besides, it’s your tread you step all over it. It got me too thick. I have been pounding shit since I started in this racket at 20 years old thinking back I’ve done nothing but work work, I’ve always had lots of money in my pocket, but I sure had to work for it. 48 years of roadwork and too many hours it’s no wonder I’m sick to death of it and yes, I’ve seen people around me as you mentioned everything they touch turns to gold and by the way Paul you should be a writer ha ha thanks for all your stories and happy Saturday, two more weeks and I’m done … bob

    Ha ha those photos deserve 10 likes. Thanks for that and yes, again the older equipment was very noisy and the transmissions all howled my DM is very noisy on the highway, but yes, the new floors will definitely help out nowadays they have different insulation than they did originally…. They come with a real thick foam underneath now … bob

    My God dashboard calendar you are old-school. I didn’t even think they made those anymore…. Bob
  25. mowerman
    one looks like fifth wheel slide or jaw release. I don’t think they had those yet. It’s probably fifth wheel slide or like Bob says airbag dump possible I’m thinking it’s too old for that too. I see you got all kinds of good old steel toggle switches. I drive a brand new Peterbilt pretty much everything on the dashboard is plastic….. bob
