W900 rebuild

How ever much you spend rebuilding an old truck will be a lot cheaper than buying a new one. Not only will you have the benefit of running paper logs, but you will have an non emission truck without all the bs

 

Good to know i already got a core for my cat i can fix. But if he has transmissions id be happy to take one of his 18s off him and give him my eaton 13. makes me wonder if i could interface a B or C series cat into my pete though....eh thats for later when im more sure of myself ima stick to a 6NZ for now. Good reliable workhorse that i already am decent at working on.

That being said i know where a 1974 dodge bighorn with a cracked block and sleeper on it is sitting. Owner is reluctant to sell it but in a few years if its still there im going to see if i can weedle him into selling it to me pretty sure $15K in cash will do it. If not i know his kids amd even his wife hate it and would give it to me for free if i got rid of it. It has the remains of a big al under the hood for some reason but im sure i can get a B model or C model in there. Also its yellow and brown with neon purple stripes...so paintjob. Ill see if i can get a picture of it next time i run corn for him and can get into his equipment shed.

 

If you ever did the math on chains at fairly flat angles, you'd be bending rafters on a regular basis!

 

Usually i would for the pure classic value, but there is a huge chunk missing from the block. Apparently the reason it got parked is because it threw a rod. Too bad too because its still factory purple.

 

Many have no clue what a Big Al engine is….

 

Guy here in WV owns 5 I believe of the Big Horns. Usually has a few of them inside the building at MATS In Louisville….
