    Holey smokes! Another truck from Waunakee, Wi. I owned their engine #3('62 V-196) for about ten years! The horn switch allowed either the horn or siren to be operated by the driver. Good score!

    Searched this out because our school buses were hauled by Loadstars like this. Drivers rarely used first gear, but the landscape & roads are mostly flat here. Love hearing the IH V-8 roar. The bus drivers weren't trying to baby them.

    That cab is in really great shape. You can put the heads from a 345 on the 392 and get a performance gain. They are not a perfect line up, but real close.

    Just don't lean on the doors. They are notorious for opening even with them locked.

    What’s the latest on the ram ?

    • @MountainMindset
      @MountainMindset  2 года назад

      It’s supposed to be done this week sometime. I still haven’t gotten confirmation on weather the new transmission has the defective part in it or not. I’m hoping that’s something that ram knows and doesn’t just put a transmission in my truck and hope for the best. Lol.

    "Waunakee Tanker" - what's that? There's a city, Waunakee, north of Madison, Wisconsin. The city's slogan is, "There's Only One Waunakee"

      If I’m not mistaken that’s where this truck originated. It was sold to a local fire department here in Kentucky where it served until they retired it and sold it. I bought it from the gentleman who purchased it from the fire department.

    The loadstars weren't bad looking,but the S series were better styled IMO,however the 9400i,and prostars look like POS throwaways

      The butterfly hood versions are unique. Looks like the nose of a cat.
