Attachment 1883011 A couple of Gas Turbines: https://macsmotorcitygarage.com/turb...rbo-titan-iii/ |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Cool website " MAC CityGarage"......
Gas turbines are not good on fuel use. They are good for weight reduction / with horsepower. There's no "compression" like a V8, so you need to either disengage the drive train or "power down" the axle to suddenly slow down. ( then brakes after it slows enough). ( The early years, they didn't have a transmission design to fit the project needs ?) Using turbines on big-heavy trucks is a neat idea, but a silly application. But those trucks look cool!! |

1945 Kenworth. This must be one of the first post war designs, or they are all wrong on their year.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Interesting truck, but I believe I'll pass.
It's got the right engine in it though. Needs to be in a museum, but museums seem to be struggling lately. Dodge should buy it for their own museum, but it looks like they already passed on that option. |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Funny, with 23 pictures and none with the hood open. For $150g, that Detroit better be lickable. Hard sell for sure

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
As a car hauler. we knew where to unload at a dealership by looking for the oil spots on the ground. Most of our 6v92s had a factory "can" on the firewall that held a gallon of oil with a ball valve on it that led into the left side valve cover so we could add a gallon on the road. I got to drive 53's, 71's and 92's. They all ran smooth. They hardly vibrated the mirrors.

That Dodge will strain to get $50k
How about this for a strainful load? |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
5 minutes to (drive all axles) over a speed bump....
|
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
wonder where they use it for , i have heared about some states that require less of a load per axle to keep their roads in better condition

prob setup for big stuff like this
|
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
those trucks need a lot of power not so mush axles , they whont have to load that heavy stuff on top of them they just need to pull it
might be photoshop , i think sumting like a cement truck or a mobile crane would have axles like that not a tow rig |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I am no expert..... That blue rig looks like a set up to attach a very heavy equipment / flat bed. ( Not sure why the 4 front steer tires, but it looks like at least one front axle is..... 4WD ?
Or a real clean "Ice Road Trucker" mod. ?? |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
might be that the load is sticking over the cab , like a dragline crane or sumting , but then again wats with the sleeper amd the lightbar on top of that
where did you found that picture special K ? i'm getting kindah curious to the point of allmost loosing sleep over it |

https://cdn.oemoffhighway.com/files/...c_10533755.jpg i think i know why it has the fifth wheel on the frame : https://18cfdfd73150f69310ab-4d842a0...59/2628263.jpg |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Maybe the blue truck was a crane at one time?
( But what the heck would they use it for, now? ) Maybe to be just different, and no concern for fuel mileage..... |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I just stumbled onto the picture and found it interesting. It has a 5th wheel. I think it towed something pretty big and heavy, just not a big as those others.
