other dog Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Merry Christmas Speed! Truck looks pretty solid anyway, not a lot of rust there.

Bobby Covert Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I have never seen a spark arrestor on an old truck myself. I see the wiper switch to the left of the driver. What do you think that really is? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34009-b-modelbattle-mountainnv/#findComment-223048 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 must be a really early 56 with the ashtray below the throttle and engine stop and the radio delete in the dash. also has the very early front wheel brake limiting valve. looks like a nice solid truck Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34009-b-modelbattle-mountainnv/#findComment-223120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysm35a2 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I got some detail pictures of it somewhere, it looks good but I couldn't spend 3500 on that one, if it was a S/A maybe. Jst the thought of 10 new tires made me sad. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34009-b-modelbattle-mountainnv/#findComment-223123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 If the extra axle is the deal-breaker,it's not that big a deal to remove one and bob the frame a little. For ME the deal-breaker is the part right after the dollar sign. That and the fact that I'd end up with an awesome truck I'd have to break the law to drive. (That "restricted" CDL is just TOO costly for the amount of good I could get out of it.)

Speed Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 That's a little beauty they came up with JUST for insulin-dependent Diabetics. It's only valid IN Nevada,requires my Dr. to sign a statement saying my Glucose level has been in good control for one year consecutively (impossible with Brittle Diabetes) and I'll have to double check,but it seems I have to re-new it every year,including the physical. It's just hard to justify a CDL that stops me from doing the one thing I need a CDL FOR. I would not be legal to haul a trailer load of scrap to Utah or Idaho,where I could get twice what the local scrap yard pays. Next time Dutch acquires an old car or truck from out of State,unless he can get it moved to the Port and find a way to load it,I can't get it to him.. Sucks...

S/A , Spoke hubs, all stock lol. I'm just the opposite-I don't think I've ever owned a stock,original vehicle except my first couple of Harleys,and that only lasted a week or so. I GUESS you could leave the frame original and stash the other axle so you could re-install it when you come to realize that more is better.
