    Another hint the day cab tractor is a single axle powered by a old school detriot diesel... most likeky a 8v-71 or a 6v-71 could be a silver (turbo) model... the car he was delivering to San Diego was a 77 Cadillac Seville.

    @ATC4ever i got one for ya...... my younger sister told me about this movie a short time after it came out....i went looking and located it... heres a couple screenshots....if you havent seen this one, i recomend it.... its not a typical slasher movie...whats the name ? What three actors... were the main ones ? first hint.... one acted in the movie Rush, and another acted in two movies .... one of which involed a large auto accident... and death ends up catching up to each one who escaped the pile up in the end.....

    Now I pretty much drive it to the cardboard dump and back, and that's it.  This was a full load of mulch from walmarts on clearance.  I don't use it much, but certainly not getting rid of it.

     

    That's quiet a load of mulch, jeep, your not getting your pops hoarding habit are you ? Oh never mind ....... i see the word > clearance < when's the next time oil goes on ? I figure your the one to ask....... just so happens that color is the same color paint as the cab on our 80 c & c 4x4 dump bed, chose that color cause he didn't think it would show dirt bad... cause she WASN'T going to be washed much being her plans were farm use..... looks like yours has the wider rims too...those types were always rare here, and the covers ? Back in the day they were like gold.(couldnt keep them) especaily the fwd freewheel front end covers i had a set that sprouted legs and walked off....lol

    Are you taking it to a body and frame shop for the frame, or are youll going old school ? Diy ? Cant say ive ever delt with bent frames but rusted out.... oh yeah... i put a frame under a 81 toyota diesel ...actually about 3/4 of a frame... people told me it would draw to one side while its being welded, there for it would dog leg ... down the road, but nope... tracked perfectly... hauled (over loaded) firewood for years, im with jeep she needs fixing.... but just be glad its not a box frame...ive heard those aren't easy to straighten at all... and are bad about rusting out depending on the life the vehicke has lived (mud muck etc) most dont know those frames need to be washed out...for example there a fellow here in the forums thats got a 300 fwd with frame (tube rust from the inside due to mud and gunk being left in)

    Oh yeah... ha! Yep!  No radio, just cubbyhole... for red man chewing bacca, and grain weight tickets..... n your pops got duel exhaust from the factory? Never heard of that less it was a 6.2 diesel ...My pops had the rare 16.5 rims  back then they didnt offer many good mud grips in those size tires, but ill post a pic of one the most popular tread pattern mud grips the co-op carried.(soon as i locat one) . of corse they were so good they (like akways) stopped making them...best i recall was co-op grip spur lt-15 or close to that designation....did he get hydroboost braks or vacume boosted ? Hydroboost ... works with fluid pressure... via the power stearing pump, one of the reasons they started that was because a diesel... wont operate a vacume type brake booster.. without a built in vacume pump... our 80 model chevy one ton flat bed dump.. came with hydroboost, but also came with a 350... he ordered that truck from gm.. cab n frame.... 400 trans 205 10.5 ring n pinion rear, 9 (i think) 3/4 front ring n pinion, both were clutch type locking rear ends, and that front king pin heavy axle .. was also chosen by dodge when the first cummins powered units came off the line...... our cummins powered 4x4 dodge has the same front chunk, but its engaged... a defrent way, doesnt have free wheel hubs...thats a mistake in my books... if a person has a fwd... they should realize free wherl hubs are the only way to go... its dumb.. to have all the drivelive ware... plus the years of paying extra for gas... n ive had a front driveline fly out... i dont ever want to have happen again....thats actully caused truck accidents...a few years back a lady was driving down the road and a thrown (free) driveshaft... out of a passing truck... struck her windshield ... n get this... in nascar.. not too many people know why the Earnhardt bar came about...a single t-joint from another car.. ether went through his front window, or smashed it... that happened when it was winston cup, n not nascar..... dales pit crew commented on how angry he was over that one...lol... hince the Earnhardt bar was born.

    Ya.... your right, back then gas wasnt....so high, well that is when you think about it now... lol! Heck i recall when it was 1.75 (if i recall right)  a gallon...yet people complained even then it was WAY high....lol!.... aaaanyways.... i was thinking about what you  said drivetrain damage, n i did remeber my grandfather had a 4x4 k20 3/4 ton white lwb 350 plant, granny low four speed 205 t-case and gave it to my father for use as a fuel truck.... we used it to haul tools parts and red diesel (high sulfer tax free farm fuel) .... that truck would slip the clutch if you looked at it side ways... lol! Ended up being the imput shaft on the transmission... the end that goes into the pilot bearing in the fly wheel had snapoed off... it had never been wrecked, and noone could come up with any idea how that happened, BUT! that truck was a very rare truck... what im getting at it, it was very strong right from the factory, but it was a plain jane custom delux ... no air.. but had heat..someone said they thought because it was so torqy.. that might have been the reason.. i dont know myself, but i know we had a old co-op c-65 366 cid industrail engine.. 5+2 drivetrain....we couldnt keep drive shafts in that beast... it would twist them right out...but it wasnt used enough later on to ... justify spending the money to beef up a heavy driveline..good luck and im tuned for this project you have going on.
