David,

WOW! Nice work to say the least! I enjoyed meeting you at the Florida Rally a couple of months ago. Thank you again for hauling the scout car model down for me.

That is one nice shop you have there. 8)

The story with that truck is I bought it from Kevin Emdee out of Radcliff, Kentucky. He got it from some museum that closed down in New Hampshire.The cab is the worst body part and the engine is locked up. But Kevin had collected alot of parts in the 14 years he had the truck one of which was a brand new engine in the crate. Either it or the tractor will be next in line when I complete the cargo Im working on now. :D

The 331 Is great :) the 602 is better :D but the 844 :mrgreen: is the Holy Grain of 6x6 Gas engines :shock:

331I-6 = 2.5 T 602 I-6 = 5 T 844 V-8 = 10 T Correct ?

Anywho Lets hear it been listening to my 331 with a busted manifold for years, Fire that 844 up ! on stand in truck it don't matter . . .
