Just a curious quetion....Herb McCandless shared a little story with me years ago. He told me of problem they had headed to Indy one time. He said the truck lost oil pressure near Indy on an interstate highway. They pulled over quickly and started diagnosing the problem. Long story cut short, the problem was the pickup tube had broken off at the block. They walked accross some fields to a shopping complex and bought pipe nipples, elbows, and some screen. They plumbed the pickup using this pipe and the screen for a strainer. Put pan back on and completed the trip. Herb said as far as he knew, the pipe and screen were still in the engine when the truck was sold years later. Anybody find this in their truck????!!!

Its back on the auction site ---again

Bigdad.What auction site is the mopar hauler on??I looked on ebay but didn't see it????

Looks like the 74 dodge hauler on ebay fri morning had a bidder.Wonder who the lucky owner is hmmm

Yes Bigdad, my truck was on eBay for the second time. I bought it a couple years ago from Bill Hancock at Arrow Racing with the intention of restoring it to Rod Shop colors and using it to haul my personal cars. My eyes were bigger than my stomach. After a couple thousand dollars and a couple hundred hours of cleanup to get it running, it's been fun. But like so many of you, I just don't have the time or the funds to do it justice. It's going to an enthusiast in TN who knows its history and is very excited. SSFA Tim will have the new owners info and will be the grail keeper of these great trucks. Think before you speak next time.

Jeff.Glad to hear your truck is going to a good home.No im not the grail keeper or an expert for that matter on these trucks.Just happen to own one.As far as thinking before i speak???If i said or posted anything offensive to you i apologize.Or did i get that wrong?Heres my email if you want to discuss anything off site.You have my cell phone.Tim

No, no, no Tim. I apologize, my comment was directed at Bigdad, though perhaps unfairly. Bigdad blasted me on another post because he thought I was merely "flipping" the truck. I just wanted to make it clear I'm one of you guys. Tim, I think you should be the information source for these trucks, as you have learned a lot about these vehicles by owning one. Sort of the StewartP of Medium Duty. Bigdad, sorry for spouting off. Thank you for this thread, I've loved it since it started. Peace.
