It doesn't sound nice Steve. The wind came up here and clouds rolled in but at -2 it's still quite decent compared to what we had over the holidays.

It made it all the way up to 4°C Steve, I don't have to work till sometime in the spring.
My Louisville is an 89 L8000 tandem John.....are you looking for one.....
All the roads and streets are mush, I had to load up in windshield washer fluid.

Just wanted to know what the 2 rear axles looked like and how they were coupled together, do you know the length of your frame..?

My 88 L8000 was single axle with a 2 speed rear end, it had a 12 foot gravel box.


My 86 L8000 is a tandem with a 13 speed transmission and single speed rear ends, 14 foot gravel box.

Got some CCTV ZONE signs made up and posted, will put up another 8 tomorrow.
Was a nice day for running around lots of warm and sunshine, stayed above 0 last night and will repeat that tonight, might see 10c tomorrow.

Sorry I don`t know the back of cab to the rear axle measurements John. Don't forget that the back of the gravel box overhangs the rear of the frame by quite a bit.
10° C would be heavenly Perry, it's still 2° C here now so I can't complain.

I have a model kit of a L8000 delivery truck but it's a single rear axle with a closed box...

That's a whole lot better than the usual -40 plus a 35 mph north western breeze.

My white 88 had a fairly long wheel base, I had the rear axle moved ahead a bit before mounting the gravel box. Even yrs ago I couldn't find any models of Louisville trucks.
It was close to -40 C between Christmas and New Year's Eve, it only started to warm up overnight here.
