What a beast !

One expensive engine to repair, but for the right price a repower.

But it's got no time on the clock, hell, I'll bet the rings haven't even seated yet.

Oddly enough I thought about posting this as well. Heavy specs for sure.

That's true but those old gaskets and liner seals I would bet after a short time would start to weep. It would be worth resealing it. KT's were not best for head gasket issues.

Yeah... a 12V92.

Makes my back and kidney's hurt just looking at it!...

What is that rear suspension? The axle configuration looks like Mack, but I've never seen where the springs sit 'on' the axle. I first thought Hendrickson, then thought Camelback, now. I don't know what to think. Anybody got any nuggets of knowledge to share on this?

 

[Truck Shop]

Kenworth had there version of it called Big Six and Hendrickson had basically the same design. With out a better side view it's hard to tell for sure.

You just set several cases in the passengers seat and give it a shot every few seconds, Rings? what about piston rings?

Real similar in spec to the C500 I had. It was a 1693 and 65k rears. Too bad it doesn’t have planetary rears.

When you have a need for them you love em. When they sit, as they often do, they turn to $hit!

More C500 info please.

It was a 74 (give or take a year) 1693, Allison auto, 1241C aux, 65k rears, Braden winch. At one point in its life it was a Hodges truck then it went to WI where Manesis had it then I got it. Jospeh Equipment bought it from me a few years ago. Great site truck.

By the axle ends and being Top Loaders ex-GI 6x rears. Definitely Rockwell.

Notice the big pattern budds on the front axle? Looks like 22" rubber, could be 24".
Worked on some Autocars with those all the way around. The tire guys had to borrow my 15/16" square socket and the 1-3/4" hex socket all the time. They were too cheap to put a set in all of their trucks.

Yeppers big pattern. She was a stout old truck. Didn’t want it rotting into the ground so when a good offer came along I sold it.

Yep. Parts were getting scarce for them. Last small ring and pinion I found was $2,700 and that was 2011-12.
