    Wonder if there's a diesel engine under that long hood, or a big arsed gas one.

    In high school a friend had a 37 Nash. Had a straight 8 with a hood as long as that trucks hood!

    My parents replaced their 1939 Dodge with a 1947 Chrysler New Yorker with an inline 8. 323 cu in.

    It doesn't exactly look like it with the angle of this photo, but that hood looked like it was a mile long.

    660s I think, MJ. Heres a video of a couple fellows loading a 666 I found interesting. I had not seen the gooseneck ramp method before but I like it (at the 18:00 mark) Murray built a short 14' deck for these as I remember also.

    How they unloaded the train at 13:50 mark is just amazing. I didn't know that they could do it that way at all. The whole system was designed to be efficient and it was from the looks of it. Those old timers knew exactly what they were doing.
