    Thats a pretty nice truck Chris. I'd really like to take it for a test drive one of these times! A bullbar would look pretty cool on it! Have you gone to Herd's web site? Do you have pics inside the cab? Could you take a photo with the hood opened? Hey! Being a Cummins, that would match your truck!! I like the stacks at the back. Can you get a better picture of how you have the Pump installed on it?

    That's a pretty long truck for a cabover. Much longer than the 144" wb backbreakers with hendrickson suspension from way back when. That's a good looking truck you have.

    As most have said, fifth wheel well greased and also slid somewhat forward of center of axles.

    In 1971, we bought 2 new Ford Crew Cabs to send to the Arctic for Imperial Oil, took them over to Cummins and dropped in V6 motors that put out 270 HP I think it was and beefed up the front housing. Imperial wanted everything on that site to be diesel powered.
