1970 Pete 359 with .....what trans?

I meet Ernie as a kid. I remember him letting me and my cousin climb in and look around the old cabover. I can't remember 100% but I think it was from my grandma and his wife being friends.

 

The Mack B-81SX I drove was made in the 60s.had a 200hp engine,,quadraplex 20spd, 20K front, 58K rears, and no air or spring seat,,it was a dump truck I hauled fill dirt to the inter harbor in Balt,,it was a ##### in the city with traffic lights every other block

 

Ha! thanks, my B61 has a super 250, compression release, 20 speed , a wig wag and pop out windshields. Throw in Armstrong steering for a blast.

I can still see the white smoke rolling out the stack til I pushed the comp release in......

 

The KTTA Cummins it had was 19L, not the Cat. [emoji4]

The K block still holds the record for the largest displacement engine ever made for on road use.

The K block was pushing 600+ hp out of the box and was the stuff of dreams back in the day when many trucks still ran Detroit 318 screaming jimmies, the average fleet truck had maybe upwards of 350 hp, 400 hp Big Cam Cummins and CAT 3406B/C engines were owner operator luxuries and you were a big dog if your engine pushed 425.
