But this truck is in Nebraska, where I'm sure old Massey Fergussons are common and he could probably find a perkins mated to a hydrostatic transmission. Then there'd be 4 pedals and two sticks.

Fermented Tinal posted:By the time we're done, this truck is going to have so many pedals, sticks, and knobs. Well a period-correct 4-wheel-drive setup might have a lever for drive select and another for range select, so we could have 5 levers (assuming one for the parking brake). Ideally it should be so convoluted to operate that you can just leave it running in the bad part of town without worrying about anyone stealing it.

I know where I can get an Eaton Fuller FS5106-A for $250 with what's likely a #3 bellhousing. Not sure how we'd get it closer to the truck though, since it's in the northwest, is going to the southeast, and I'm in the northeast. Also it sounds like you guys want to make this truck into a pipe organist's wet dream.

If there was one thing you could absolutely trust 14" to do, it was walk into the mouth of madness and bring something hosed up but functional back out. The replacement engine, a Chevy 292, was waiting on them when they arrived. 14" just shrugged, downed another foil package of Chinese off-brand herbal ADHD medications, and said "It's a start." Where he acquired a Wärtsilä RTA96C in the middle of Nebraska - let alone the eight Lycoming radials powering the massive roots blower feeding air into the monstrosity - we will never know. The 292 did get used, powering the fuel pump delivering 637.3 gallons of nitromethane per minute the hulk required. We did discover where the twin Pratt & Whitney F119 turbojet engines powering the turbos came from - the Army still tells tales of the madman with an impact driver they couldn't stop with a tank that exciting July night. And surprisingly, it all fit in the truck, although lesser men would be driven mad with just a glimpse of the non-Euclidean geometry under the hood. The steering wheel in the cab was the tiniest wheel they could order out of China, in order to fit the bewildering array of shifters surrounding the driver's seat. He started with the gearbox from the ship, tied to a vast array of 15-speed truck transmissions, hydrostatic drives stolen in broad daylight from three different tractor shops, and Lenco planetary gearsets swiped from research labs in Japan. No one else had the balls to crawl into the driver's seat. But 14", when he goosed that big ship engine and eased out on all three clutches, the steel Abrahms tank treads that replaced the rear wheels would leave burnout marks six inches deep on reinforced concrete.

Wow. This thread is going places (And not just cornfields in the middle of nowhere!) Ok so everyone who wants to add sticks and levers and pedals, I should remind you that this is the existing setup: Veeb0rg posted:Then lets throw in a 2 speed rear end as well. This was a factory option. (At least on the 6400 series. Which it turns out this is not) Decoding the vin revealed a terrible secret. This is not in fact a 6400 as I was lead to believe, but a 4400. Minor difference, but basically the same truck in the end. And here's some more pics of the engine cause I don't have any real progress of which to speak so far. Lookit them linkages! And djdanno was nice enough to brave the underside of the truck to get some shots of it: 14 BAR RIFF posted:This truck shall be my career's swan song You must make it to Orlando, for here, your chariot lies sleeping, awaiting your arrival:

Fermented Tinal posted:You have to keep the parking brake setup exactly as it is. If only to avoid the mesothelioma. I imagine you have to adjust it every time you have to pull the lever, and replace the shoe if you ever make the mistake of pulling it while moving. Looks way more serviceable than the modern ones though. Standard driveline is a very good sign.

So since I don't have to worry about rent, a couple hundred bucks in side jobs will handle the rest of my storage and bills. How does AI feel about throwing in on a guzzoline fund for the last of the V6 Interceptors loaded with every last tool I can fit. Book time says 20 hours to Nebraska. Bet I can beat it.

So what part of Nebraska did this beast end up in? I am in St.Pete, Florida and find myself considering a road trip to act as a chase vehicle... Filming the epic journey on my go pro.. I am riding a 2001 Crown Vic (retired cop special) so it can haul large amounts of tools or people should the need arise.. Either way, I look forward to seeing where this goes!

Clearly the best choice for a chase vehicle is this. Also bonus Massey Harris action. Everything is in Valentine NE right now.
