davehummell Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 That red and white one looks a whole lot better than the one I owned I bought it for 1200.00 or1500.00 and ran it till the trans started to jump out of gear sold it for parts to a guy for just a little less than I paid for it.

That one was at the Keystone Antique Truck and Tractor museum. It was parked out back, and the last time I was there they still hadn't put it on display inside. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mowerman Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Thanks for that that’s the only time I’ve ever seen them is in pictures you would think more people would be restoring them…: bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/27/#findComment-504944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) I did see something that looked like it might have been one or something close that was behind a repair shop in Minden Nevada it was all in primer somebody was in the middle of restoring this thing it appeared …that was about six years ago it did have that overall appearance that’s the closest I’ve ever gotten to one other than moms car…. With 3000 pounds of chrome inside and out you would think they would have been more of a big hit… Bob Edited July 31, 2022 by mowerman Misspelled Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/27/#findComment-504945 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 It was suggested that I make a donation to BMT.. I did.. but there is no new data space.. its ok.. I should have learned a new way of posting pics.. I was going to post a picture of an E-Tech that I just finished,, boring but still 'shop talk' I also rebuilt a back box in a metric eaton, and when I was pressing the yoke off the case cracked in half.. that was a first, and also gave me a sinking feeling.. c ya later,, jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/27/#findComment-509035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
