storkmack Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 So I had to look up that carrier. Through a few buyouts that company became JLP transport and they hauled into the Dean Foods Dairy in Huntley,IL where lived when I was a young boy. They had a fleet of R-models with small sleepers and were always kept very nice. Always thought they had nice equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtymilkman Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I think the turbo was considered the muffler. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen actual tags on turbos before stating a muffling device. My Superliner and B model both have straight pipes and they never seemed to loud to me. No louder at idle than any other truck. I can only hear a little rumble when the window is down cruising down the road. But my Harley is the same way and I know it is loud on the highway, I just don't hear it even with the stereo off. Never been stopped or told I needed to get any machine quieted down, just it sounds good and healthy. 5 hours ago, Vladislav said: Amazing pic. Any ideas on those white walls? Paint? Think paint was used for the whitewalls. Don't remember 20" truck tube type tires offered that way. It does look good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I just read an article somewhere that Pennsylvania just passed a law that a turbocharger is not considered a muffling device anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when progressive laws are made about sound guess there should be a law about the thumping from massive bass speakers in cars and pickups. Adding mowing your lawn before 7:00 am, backyard parties, barking dogs, loud kids having fun, etc. Wait a minute there are laws about all these infractions too. Then enforced, because there are no better tickets to write, Right? Not going though PA anytime soon so the straight pipes are staying, just call me an Outlaw. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paint? U.S. Royal made new, Bandag did recaps and there was quite a few tire companies that did aftermmarket white walls. They ground a strip about .015 deep in the side wall and did any color you wanted. Was permanent. My uncle had all the tired on his wrecker done including the dolly wheels in about 1967. Still get them for big trucks. http://Hosted on Fotki http://Hosted on Fotki Edited September 30, 2019 by 41chevy 4 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like not a big trouble to cut sich strip. Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My uncles was a 1966 C60 Chevy with an Ortez Wrecker body on it. Those trucks were at a new truck trade show a number of years ago. The color they put it to groves is a thin liquid RTV . 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
