    1946 Sterling 6x6 for sale

    I would love to get that truck and restore it. I know someone who has some civilian sterling cab parts that would finish that truck out.

    1946 Sterling 6x6 for sale

    I'm not terribly good with the computer and there was not a link number I could attach so I tried to do the best I could. I'll see if I can come up with something better.

    Poor man's water truck

    THat how we used to do roads and pads at a small construction company I worked at. The only difference between our tank and yours is that we built it to fit the truck specifically. THe KISS method works wonders.

    WWII Internationals

    I guess I better open my eyes. Most of those are at my back door. I'm a little more familiar with the old stuff by where you live because I grew up there and I remember the spud farmers used the WWII stuff for hauling spuds. My dad actually bought an old Jimmy that had the fiberglass roof and...

    Modified 5 ton?

    I remember a rancher in southern Idaho did the same thing with a deuce. They rolled it and destroyed the cab so they made a Chevy pickup cab fit. It was kind of scary.

    There is a few for sale on the west coast. The ones I have found are all on craigslist. There is a 1936 in Portland Oregon, there is a 1941 in Big bear Ca., there is one in Klamath Falls Oregon, and there is a hotrodded one in Prescott Arizona. They seem to pop up so hopefully a decent one will...

    WWII Internationals

    I am interested in learning more about the International CCKW trucks but I don't know where to start. What were the truck designations for International, what sizes were most common, and what was their popularity? I have seen a few come up for sale and would like to build one but I would also...

    Alas we must say goodbye to you Multifuel.

    I've always wondered what the facination is with 6bt cummins engines in trucks larger than a 1 ton. We've had a couple of 5.9s in service trucks that grossed anywhere from 26000 to 33000 and we have had many problems with them. Broken exhaust manifolds, burned pistions, and two years of life on...

    Detroit diesel , 92 series, 8V in a 5ton

    I am coming in late on this thread, so please forgive me. An allison ht-750 would be the right bellhousing size for that 8v92. It would be the same trans that is in an oshkosh m911. If you look for one out of a euclid haul truck or terex haul truck, you can get the tranny with a retarder in it...

    Fantasy Engine for the 809 series

    If you like detroits and want over 400hp, install an 8v92. They will build 440hp in a truck configuration and 750hp in a marine configuration. The best part is you can order everything from the detroit dealer to build it either way. The 6v92s are 350hp for truck application and 550hp for marine...

    m54 with a detroit diesel

    I am not familiar with m54 trucks. Did someone add the grill to that green truck or is that a factory item. It looks like a grill for a detroit stationary engine.

    new to this form need help with engine swap

    I looked at our m819 at work and a couple of ntc cummins engines. The oil return is in the same spot which is a 3/4" pipe plug just below the information plate and the exhaust manifold outlet. That is the easy part. Getting oil to the turbo will have to be a little more creative. On the ntc...
