If it has pinched bag low tiny air suspension on spring, toss it. Put proper fat bags on there.
I have raged for years with cabovers that pretend to have airride because the company beano refuses to pay for actual full bagged airride.
I finally just quit hiring onto companies with cabovers period. One exception. I hired onto JBH in dec 2001 and was given a 83 international with springs. Guess what I did with the #### thing into the second week? Took out another vehicle. Just like i warned them about.
I quit the third week to partly go to college. But also because they had about 30 conventional tractors in storage under I40 in the NLR yard unassigned to anyone. It was a very stupid policy to me. And they were stubborn about it.
From that day to this. When you decide as a rule never to do something stupid in life that you know personally IS BAD for you specifically, DONT do it like I did.

Pete 362?
Sounds like a good truck. Is she a runner? What are we talking to make road worthy? -
I am hearing she is a runner, but I have not heard it run. I can't answer your question. I suspect it would take up to 10 grand to get it up to where I would be satisfied, with me doing the work here., if the engine needs an inframe, double that. or close.
I have been wanting to use some N14 parts on a big cam 3 I have, and sure have a use for the 18 spd and the rears,which is likely my best bet, but I bought another KW with a 5EK engine in it today too,to do something with, soooo who knows.Feedman, PoleCrusher, Oxbow and 5 others Thank this. -
That died a decade ago.
There was another very useful site called Imageshack. Once you registered and kept your username and password you could post whatever. And link back to it in real time. Ive got a few images on there that I put up 12 years ago and its still in that collection. I have not visited that site in like 6 years now so I have no clue if they are still operating. Instagram pretty much rules that space now.singlescrewshaker Thanks this. -
