[diesel_mercedes] Re: Old pickup trucks

 

My brother and I had a 65, 66, 67 IH, I think it was a tonner, it WAS 4x4 with a GEAR DRIVE transfer case.....

The sticker on the dash explained it all..

FOR NON-ROAD SURFACES ONLY..

Manual Hubs, and a Low range that was about walking speed in 1st gear..

We called her "Lucifer" because she'd been to Hell and back, and we were intent on getting her back there..

I sometimes wonder, after we sold her, what became of her.. We'd replaced the cab and bed, and driven her for some time before my brother left for the USAF in '82..

*sigh*

Wouldn't one of those be great with a 5 cylinder turbodiesel.. :)

IIRC it was a "divorced" transfer case, so it WOULDN'T be impossible.. :)

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Parting 77 240D

 

Does it by any chance have a manual tranny?
Mostly curious. That's dangerous enough right now.
Bogy.

Hi Everyone,

I am parting out my 240D.  I have the rheostat, hazard switch, original Becker AM-FM stereo (two speaker), sunroof motor, etc.  I would rather sell items to enthusiasts and not on eBay, so if you need something not mentioned, let me know and I will see if I still have it.  Just drop me an email if interested.

Thanks,

Johnathan
