[AT] What are failed Master Brake Cylinder Symptoms?

Is that speed with or without the building on it, Mark?  :-)

Maybe you're missing a golden opportunity to have a mobile shop.

BTW, are you planning on making it to the Portersville show?  I'm trying
to get my ducks in line for obtaining some more pitman rivets from
Johnson Hardware.  The question is, do I make a trip down to Orrville
specifically to pick those up?  Or do I negotiate with someone to get
them for me?  Or do I contact Roger at the hardware store and have them
mailed to me?

Dean,
No help here but I also have a '68 N600 with a 20' flatbed. It currently
has
a 20'x30' building resting on it that I moved with it so I could build
my
shop. It has a loose and leaky power steering box that I need to find
some
rebuild parts for but I'm waiting for the neighbor to put in a
foundation so
I can unload the building and get the truck back home to fix. Mine is a
330
V8 gas with a 4 speed trans and a single speed rear end. It will go
about 50
with a good tailwind on a flat road.
