Thank you very much, this will make finding parts much easier.

 

The F700 with the FT will be far easier to support than the T850 with a 534. Tough to find parts for those.

 

The T-850 is a complete mess. Local farmer drove it into a scrap yard where it was pushed around with a trackhoe. Destroyed the rad, mangled the hood, bent the rad support, damaged the louvers and all kinds of stuff. I dragged it out of the yard a few hours before it was to be cut up. Sad thing is that the Ol' 534 still runs great, the truck makes air with no leaks and everything, but the truck might just become a parts donor for another T-850, we shall see.
