Welcome again Highland. My 1434 is a dual wheel with a hoist for the grain box. It is now only a new wooden deck
as the original was rotten. She spent the working days on a farm near Hanna and was a good find. Lucky
to have the extra torque from the optional 261 engine. New hoses and a proper flush and the Hyel twin ram hoist
works great. I need to repair the pinion seal then can drive it on the highway. Maybe to Three Hills show & shine next spring.
Good for you saving another truck. Was it built with a box? or just sold as a Cab & chassis? Single or dual wheels?
You can still get hydraulic parts for the Huck brand of brakes but the drums are very scarce. The 1/2 tons went to
Bendix brand brakes in 50 but the larger trucks did not. The steering and brakes are the most important part of our dear old trucks.
Leo wants a pet Dinosaur to put in his panel as a mascot.
keep in touch as we are only one hour apart.
Longest day, it will be snowing soon!
