Been looking for a old Great Dane badge. A few of these are worth some dough.
The REO is 1911.
Did you buy them?I received a call from my friend Steve this morning {You got time to go look at some Cummins}?
So we went for a drive, old guy he knows has a business cleaning up warehouses, farms what
ever comes along. So I looked at three one semi complete 444, one short blocked big cam and
another big cam block that had been machined, decked and counter bores cut with new cam
bearings. Plus three recon cylinder heads. Then a BCII complete. Plus a couple of bell housings.
$1,500 for all. The Machined block is $1,500 to $2,000 just in machine work alone.
Not yet, I already have a BCI 400 complete setting that's a good core, I could easily build three.Did you buy them?
I don't have much to do with ATHS.The 250 would interest the ATHS guys.
I have one it's too big for space on box, looking for a small one.I'm surprised you don't have Fruehauf on there.
That was incorrect-it was $1,300 there were three big cams and one 444. The 444 is really just$1,500 for all
Did you use this box at work till the end?Been looking for a old Great Dane badge. A few of these are worth some dough.

Yes, The top box I bought in 1975 Mac, Bottom I bought in 1988 Cornwell, Right I bought inDid you use this box at work till the end?
Looks very similar to my box, but I don't have that much good vintage stuff. Actually have an 80's FLR air horn mounted to the top lid (not hooked up for obvious reasons) and a brand new old stock bulldog mounted to bottom box. Have gotten comments for years about donating box to the Smithsonian when no longer wrenching. Like that's gonna happen anytime soon.Been looking for a old Great Dane badge.

I have a horn too but not mounted to anything, a yarder tooter. Loud as can be, came from a MadillLooks very similar to my box, but I don't have that much good vintage stuff.

Me thinks whoever colorized that photo was a big fan of M&M'sI've seen this photo line up before but never have seen the original black & white.
1938 Kenworth Shovel Noses.

I drove a Diamond T a bit, but it wasn't near as pretty as that. It had the compression release handle in the cab and a 220 Cummins maybe? I forget for sure now.Based my thought on the old Diamond I had driven. Similar to this.
