Big Old Engine

I remember those engines in semi trucks down in the Bay Area when I was a kid. Used to see them going up Altamont Pass at night, exhaust manifold and stack glowing very bright orange. Not red, but orange. I loved those engines. Your engine needs a bit of a “clean up” I think. I'll guess it's in a Seagraves?

Have you seen this?

Hi Larry,

Check out this website – they have a For Sale section and there are a couple of contact telephone numbers. One call might just be all you need. Several calls to different places might just get you another distributor or new rotors – worth a shot.

For a parade truck an older Dodge pickup Cummins (no computer controls) would get it roadworthy.  Maybe someone out there who's single could tackle it.

 I can't see any scenario where ” Honey, there's this neat old fire truck I'd like to fix up” would not end with “Honey, what are you going to do with that rolling pin?”

Cool looking truck though  A customer has a CNC shop, but I think he sold his plastic injection machines Someone out there could make the blanks for rotors if they had the specs

Hope you figure this one out Larry. Seems like a lot of trouble for a “Parade Truck” in Newport since the parade route couldn't even be a mile long. 

Let's see…. start at the Safeway….. down to the MW bank on the corner….. down the street past the Pizza Place…. around the corner to the Pub…. around the corner past Napa…. back to the Safeway…. about 1/2 hour at 5 MPH I'd say.

Government is always agreeable.

LMAO Larry!   In that case, no repairs are needed.

Then we would just have to park it on the shoulder of 41 and the parade would last only 10 minutes. That's about the time it takes for people to walk slowly from one end to the other.  It actually takes me longer to drive into the Post Office from my place.

Whatever happened to Hall-Scott? Were they bought out by Hercules, Continental,  or Waukesha?
