  1. J.P. you make me laugh............ 'its starred Calaude Aikins and some other dude'..... the other Dude was Frank Converse... theme song was sung by Merle Haggard .. W 900 Kenworth, the truck still exists actually.... https://www.roadprobrands.com/blog-posts/the-restoration-of-the-movin-on-truck
  2. OK, I guess that makes sense.... I am just now so used to seeing the rectangular lights, I was wondering if the rectangular light casted a sharper beam or the other way around.... never gave it a lot of thought till just now...
  3. http://lemdecal.com Might be of some interest........... I have all of Dave's stuff and have never had a problem.....
  4. Your painting is superb ! , Like , Tim, I'm lovin this too......
  5. Mack still makes a Super Liner? VERY cool............... also a question from a Canadian Truck driver, I notice in Oz, very few if any tractors have rectangle headlights.... looks strange to me to see new Western Stars or KW's with round head lights, where as up here most everything now has rectangle lights.............. state laws? Is there a reason for that?
  6. and don't get stuck in the Alberta Gumbo,........................ they sink !
  7. You bet Ernie, CMP's for sure, GREAT BIG gas engines..... ! Pistons like tomato juice tins !

  10. Yes, the "Front Brake Limiting Valve", and here in B.C. God help you if you had it in the 'WET' position on dry roads and D.O.T. stopped you ! Yes, cold shower time Danny !!!! I LOVE old Iron !
  11. I hear you there, Phil, so .................. Lizzy?? That would be very cool....
  12. Yeah, if you don't pull the drive shaft, and pull it from the front, it will burn the transmission bearings out due to no lubrication,,,, tow it from the back ad all is ok... but some of those wrecks........................ well.................. that is why some of them end up on a low bed.....
  13. Have you seen any of those guys in action??
  14. Gives " Heavy Rescue 401 " a whole NEW meaning eh, Carl?? The ONLY thing missing here is a 'twin steer' with High Flotation Tires !

  16. Does this mean you are 'weak" Carl??
  17. The ACL 64 had the worlds WORST cabs, not fay guy friendly at all....
  18. ............ I said that once and got an ass chewing, from a very frustrated mechanic, who was not having a good time doing that ................. I was soon back on the road though....
  19. Which meant pulling the dog house in the cab and trying to work between the seats, like our Stars, some awkward places to twist a wrench !
  20. Danny, the basic "DD" thing, is what some call "Dual Drive " or "Double Drive", that may just be the model guys , in the real world, those of us would call it a "Tandem" meaning two rear drive axles or 'Drivers', and the other is a "Single Drive" or , "S/A" or again we who drive these things would call it a 'Single Axle' so if I were to get one of my guys to drive one of our bigger plows , I would tell him to " Grab a tandem and go to..." or I would ...." take a single axle to..", the cab part is a bit different, as the 'DD" cab is it is put, is actually a "Sleeper Cab", and the other is what is known as a "Day" cab, and yes I have seen a sleeper on a single axle line truck, but not very often these days, as most or all now are sitting on tandems, due to the heavy loads and highway passes we have to hump over. I have seen LOTS of day cabs on tandems over the years, but usually the configuration is sleeper cab on tandems, and day cabs on singles, but they can be built any way the customer wants and specifications.... And Lee is absolutely correct in what to do to get the single axle config............. this is going to be a very cool build... nice job on the rims ! I am looking forward to the next update....
