LT Mack brother!

we're on the same page with that. first  thought looking at the pictures. a LT relative for sure . to have an unlimited check book ! that's one truck you don't see many of. would be a class act with proper total resto. in the day trucks were made for working , yet so many had style. unlike the plastic of today.

One thing is for sure, if it was in Australia it would be sitting at my place by now

Impressive thingy!

Does that engine have decompression setup or anything else those "second injection lines" were used for?

HD equipment  had things like pony motors (cat D8), or the IH (dresser) had =start on gas , flip both levers , fire up the diesel; such a beautiful sound engine going gas to diesel-OH the good days. lets see which had a computer = NONE
