How old is your truck?Pics please!!

[P Backus]

Those FWD trucks are built about 60 miles away from me, and are similar in concept to the Oshkosh trucks, which are also about 65 miles away from me, in a different town. No offense, but that FWD is kind of an ugly truck! (I mean that in a good way, of course, just in case you own one!)

I've always had a soft spot in the head for B series Macks. Almost bought one once. I'm so used to Road Rangers now that it would take me a while to figure out the two sticks...

I made a "training" video a few years ago. I posted it years ago, someone(a few)got ahold of it and posted it on YouTube. It's me in my B model.

Okay, now I get it. So what is the pattern of the main box? Standard H with reverse in the upper left? The three speed splitter has 1st in lower left, 2nd in lower right, and third in upper right- correct?

Now I won't have lived until I drive with two sticks! Oh well, a new goal to live up to...

Nothing quit like the sound of a N/A 673.

Thanks,
Paul

Here are some pictures of the old KW's with our different equipment.

The first picture is a Cat we were hauling away for scrap.

Our old Dodge is 38 now. The bumper is off because were taking the rad out.

 

[euclid]

Ole Dodge looks like a work horse! You are you running? Modified air box of factory?

 

[OneWelder]

Uh Dave- 38 I do not think so

 

[dayexco]

Uh Dave- 38 I do not think so

i'd believe that's a 1970 or older....we had 4 of them old freakin dodges when i was young, spent more time underneath em than behind the wheel....ours had the 361 gas burners and 8 spd roadrangers...twasn't purdy.

Got a NHC 250 Cummins, 13 speed fuller and SQHD rockwell rears at 4.625. It does what it's supposed to do. The air cleaner is original, Its a 1970, definatly 38 years young. Its got 199038 miles on it.

 

[OneWelder]

Sorry - I Thought you were saying it was A 1938. I did not realize you meant 38 years old
It appears to be a solid trk. with no rust

 

[FarmerDave]

It's ok. It was a solid truck at one time, but when it was new it was a highway tractor hauling fuel. Then a farm bought it, lengthend the frame and put a box on. Then in 1980 my granpa bought it and got into the wet fields. Once to pull it out they had a tractor and a crawler loader pulling on it. He cracked the frame on both sides just behind the cab and we welded them up 2 years ago. I fixed both front fender corners but I'm getting close to havin it lookin good.

 

[dayexco]

here's a pic of our 87 fruit shaker with a 3406B cat turned up to 425 hp/13 speed. wish frame was longer for a pusher ax. runs like a brand new one. doesn't make sense for us to go newer as this truck only gets 3k miles a year on it moving equipment locally...btw, that trailer is for sale, we just bought a 3 axle detach. 690 might be for sale too, haven't made up our mind on that one.
