Memories for us old truckers

[Truck Shop]

A local community college or senior center will likely have intro art classes, very cheap, or free. With any luck at all, you can sign up for drawing nudes, the hell with mechanical drawing, after a little practice on T&A, everything else, is EASY!

And you left out one very important detail there DIYDAVE. Not all the models are women and most guys get a little uncomfortable looking at another male that's only wearing speedo's for several hours.
Especially if he weighs 350 lbs which is common now days in the modeling field. What do you think about that Dave.

 

[DMiller]

Now THAT is a Ugly thought!!!!

Up at Williams Lake BC this summer, send to me by a friend.

Best you find out now because I figured you would sign up for art class and be scared for life with that bad vision.

Hank is that a 73 or 75 Mack in that photo?--------------And there's Dave Millers favorite International setting center stage.

 

[Hank R]

Do not know as I am not a Mack guy, this picture may help you.

Didn't the R and DM models come out in the mid `60's to replace the B models? Seems when I started at the quarry in 1968 that is what they had for stocking trucks.

 

[DMiller]

IIRC the R/DM came out in 66 or 67, the B was ended same time. R IHC, still uglier than the dirt hauled!!

Check out the IH "S" model converted to a forklift (?) A lot like some of the hay squeeze loaders around here.

Saw a '67 R700 sitting next to a B61 once, looked like everything from the cab mounts down was nearly interchangeable.
Stupid me… I was offered the R700 for $800, Had a 350HP Mack engine with actual Jakes, 3 stick 10 speed and all Mack running gear. It was pretty straight but had some serious cab rust. Oh well, at the time I did not need a project.

Missed that one on the first look!

B models ended in 1966 and the R models started in 1966 and built in Hayward, Calif. which I always liked that fact-built on the west coast. This turd below is a early 67. It belonged to the
Ag place I worked at before my current job. Cummins powered with 5x4 and SQHD's on Hendrickson beam biscuit. The hood is not original.

Nice old PeterCar but one thing I see that's not good is the top of cab where the panels meet, it's not tight around those rivets so there is corrosion under there lifting the skin.

 

[DMiller]

Air Horn systems have corrosion as well TS, typical for old Petes for some reason. Pot metal(Cast Aluminum) and aluminum skin interaction to the steel fasteners? Body men I have known used to add a liquid Seam Sealer to Freightliner Pete and sections of KW Cab repair re-skins along riveted joints, is that still done?

That's still done but I've found using Bostik 1100 works the best of anything. Once down it won't leak plus it's stuck-for good in some cases.
