Anyone know about big diesel engines?

Splain to me what the second lever is? Two speed axle? I'm not versed in that.

My guess is it probably has a Brown and Lipe auxiliary transmission in it. Either that or a twin sticker like an old Mack.

Brockway was a better truck IMHO.

No argument from me on that one, Autocar is a good one also, both are simple, easy to work on. You want a money making truck though, Ford L9000 with a 290 Cummins, 15 speed lo-boy box, 50,000 Eaton rears and a Hendrickson, unbreakable.

I'm still wondering what Nate has up his sleeve? Your mats should be in Des Moines late tonight.

i drove a truck with camel back suspension it was fine as long as it was loaded
unloaded it would kill you didn't have air ride either.

If you want something fun a 16v-71 will trip your trigger. Can be bought off eBay too. The four valve heads are the ones to look for. Supercharged and later models turbo'ed.

Someone said Detroit??

1950 GMC 1/2 ton 4-53T Jakes and air start...

That yours? Seen that video a few times. Makes me wanna do a 6V-53 or 92 in my 64 Chevy.

Best pulling truck i have owned had a 500 V8 Mack in it. Engine brake sucked though.

I also first thought Fairbanks Morse and Cooper Bessemer. I guess not that big.

FWIW my dad was a tool and die maker at Cooper Bessemer in Mt Vernon Ohio during the late 40's early 50's .

Looking around at cheap vintage diesel in the area... wondering which big engines are good and which are lemons.

Currently looking at a good running Renault M510 unit.

Like others have said need more information.

There's been some good engines mentioned already. Big cam 400, Dt466 cummins 8.3, cat 3406, cat 6nz

 

[czar800]

This might be my personal best recommendation.

That is sweet. I kind of always wanted an OBS with a 360 or a 450 with a 466.

 

[Homelite410]

here is the truck that has the 453T and twin stick transmission in it.
