57 bcr Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 That dry air cleaner has a Donaldson Pre-Cleaner on it and he reinforced it with a couple of mirror brackets. It was custom,for sure. I didn't remember this,but he actually had to modify the fender to make the air cleaner serviceable. This picture was taken before its maiden voyage,after a toal rebuild in 1971! The stack was available as of 2005 anyway (special order from Riker).His son Dave,got me one for the B C R,Matt. 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

j hancock Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 I have read about CKD units and thought that they were all for export as that was the way it was sometimes done. There are pictures of trucks that were shipped overseas with the parts all packed in large boxes. I remember a parts man at a Mack dealer showing my father a new truck - I think it was an F model, all in parts at a Mack dealer and I thought that it was a complete truck but was young then and afterward thought that it might have been a glider kit. Were CKD units sold to U.S. dealers that way?I believe that CKDs were just for overseas use. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

57 bcr Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hope it is,Matt. FYI it was like $379.00 in 2005! It had a couple of scuffs/scratches in it and I told them to send it back.They knocked $50.00 off if I kept it. Its the one on the truck!

j hancock Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Heartthrob Exhaust may be able to help with that.

mackmb212 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 How about this one,momack? This one belonged to my first boss,Rick Leach. The floaters DO look cool on a B!is that the nick name for the wide front tires ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post other dog Posted May 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2014 Here's a nice one, fromhttp://www.hankstruckpictures.com/trucks.htmThis is for personal/ non-commercial use only, to show the floats on the front and not for my personal website (that I don't even have). 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

2stacksuperdog Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Floats,Floaters,Boloneys,Super Singles,and so on! I thought super singles are different from floats. Wider and so on. 1 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmolitor Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Usually super singles refers to the back, or trailer tire where dials are typically used. That black B concrete . Is sexy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
