    Many years ago while in college I drove a 1070A Lodestar with the same
    combination. That Fuller was the slickest shifting transmission I every
    operated. Exhaust pipe separated from the muffler on the way back from the
    stone quarry one day and I had to drive it all the way home loaded. That
    was without a doubt the loudest engine I have ever heard. My ears rang for
    days.?

    I guess there are lots of folks out there who like to rebuild these trucks,
    and drive them around. Sounds like fun.?

    Does this truck still have the old ceramic clutch in it? I remember my
    dad’s old 68 Mack had that ceramic clutch and it was weird after it got hot
    .?
