Nice.  I was a little concerned when I saw a flat head.  But my faith was restored with the 16 645.

I watched that the other day. Did you follow up with the tug of war video?

Cool video..Spent my first ten years in the work force(77-87) building Pacific logging trucks.All hand built trucks and stall built..I was one of about 4 assembly mechanics on the big off road stuff (P-16 crew).
Not uncommon were Detroit 16V71TT's,and 12V71TT's.We did a few 12V92TT's and Cat 3412's..
Always a rush to start them up for the first time..
Truck in picture is a 16V71....
