Memories for us old truckers

[Truck Shop]

You know this has possibilities-a 18 yard box and three drop axles with a tail drop a modern
up and coming construction outfit make out big time. It would make a statement, trending.

Guess what it has for power----A sad sack Double OO 8V92-. He will sell it real cheap--I might
just have to buy it to perform a LTL MOtor Grenade--POOF.

There not a bad looking truck--but I have never been able to figure out why on the eastern
part, Old Ford LTL's, GMC MH9500's, old Dodge Big Horns & CNT 900,1000 Dodges draw
such attention. Mack I can see--But like the saying goes {if they also build cars, and farm
implements probably best not buy it.

What did for me is dad had one for a tandem dump when I was a kid (before the dump anywhere sterling) and then the first tractor I ran for work was a ltl 9000 with a 3406 that I may have played with a little

I like the 4-53 in my forktruck I sure don't want that 92 tho

That yellow critter above IS--1951 WC 32 model, 504 cu.in. flathead Mustang with a 5X3.
I found the registration-last licensed in 1975, Scale Wt 22,200. Originally owned by
L.W. Vail Asphalt, Pasco Wa. Now average temp in Pasco in summer is 100*, the inside of
cab is so small only dwarfs could drive it and would have been skinny dwarfs with the cab
heat soaring in summer months. With manual steering loaded to licensed 46,000 he would
have sweated his ass off because even with windows down this truck was so slow there
was no interior breeze.

A pretty rare Jimmy--Factory integral built sleeper, HDCR 653 model 1950, sold for 3,000.
Originally 4-71 power with a 5x3.

Cool that's the truck franks sold pulling units on in the 50's

Here's a dandy--I looked at this 65 A-Car over 25 years ago then again about 5 years ago.
The cab is as rotten as a apple left on the tree in Dec. The frame has been scabbed back
together in three places {Aluminum Rotten}. One drive housing has been welded, Only asking
$6,500 for Scrap. Picture with bed is mine.

One with no rot-R190 sold for $1,500. DM will be admiring it.

It's the only items worth saving.

That was a late 50's ad, the reason I say 6-71 is it was cheap. Charted engine sales from late
40's, 50's, 60's Detroit had 45% plus of the engine sales-mainly because it was cheaper.

I'm a young guy so I get my info from a book. It's been packed away for a few years but I don't remember seeing GM as an option for IH until the '60's. Maybe they didn't want to buy engines from another truck manufacturer? Are 6-71s shorter than a 220 Cummins? If the IH 190-200 series had a 220, they lengthened the nose to make room, giving it a set back axle look.

 

[cfherrman]

Comparing my N14 and my 671, the 671 is shorter by two N14 cylinders roughly.

A 220 probably was a 700-855 displacement while the 671 is half that

Here's the trouble with old books written about brands, 70% wasn't true. In those years unlike
today trucks could be ordered with just about anything under the hood. Kittitas County had
8 190 series with 6-71's in mid fifties. I have allot of books with allot of discrepancy's.

6x71 =426
220=743

My issue with 2 strokes, 12V71 14L 852 cu.in. average hp was 435 to 450.
Twice the moving parts to do the same job as a Cat or Cummins 6 cylinder,
fires every time the piston comes up running at a constant high rpm which
makes for extremely lousy fuel mileage.
