    Boy that would make a nice dump trucks for a guy.

    That Blue C70 was a 79 Chevy with later 80's tilt hood added. But had that low back air ride seat like yours. Most companies did not purchase such luxurious options back then!

    She runs nice and cool. Bout 170 on oil temp. After putting the 170 T-stat it dropped the oil temp 10-15 degrees. Before summer were gonna send this rad out to get rebuilt and put it in the 99 and a new one for this. The 99 has a smaller crappy plastic rad but the older one from the 93 will fit. They did it for emissions, the 99 runs 200-210 on oil and about 195-200 on coolant

    We got a new wood guy this year. He brings about a cord and a half for 160. The other guy charged the same price and it wasn't even a full cord

    That what our furnace does too is mostly smolder because of the auto dampener. Pretty neat setup and saves quite a bit on wood

    All the darn flyers that came in the mail and were added to your local newspaper.
    A buddy went is a rant about the waste about 15 or 20 years ago and gathered all the paper delivered to his home for a month and weighed it and it came to something like 140 pounds.

    A hood and a set back front axle. Great for short necked steps and lowbeds, you can load up them steers.

    Real nice! 8.2 w/air brakes? Never seen one with an air seat, till now. Mine has a Bostrom, with an adjustable shock absorber, acts just like an air seat, came out of an older Mack. Had 78k original when I got it, at 90k now. Good truck for local work, but too underpowered for pulling that loaded 40'. Originally geared for the old speed limits too, does its best between 50-55, IFTA filings have it at 5-5.5mpg. 6 spoke front on yours, 12k axle?
     
    DeereRunner97, cke, Tug Toy and 5 others Thank this.
