Ah yes, but while you have to come to the forum to ask what could possibly cause that strange whine that appears at the edge of hearing only turning this one corner he knows it is wear in the fifth roller in the gearbox output shaft support bearing on the back of the PTO blanking plate.
Who needs computers when you can have MORE GAUGES!Comment

The truck is made for a university study.
-There is a set of gages to monitor right side stock spring lean vs. the left side parabolic lean.
-Gage set number two compares swivel wear in the right side grease in SPH vs. left 90 wt filled SPH.
-The third set of gages compares fuel mileage/drive train wear with the FWH's engaged or disengaged.
-Several other gages monitor the hydraulic seal deterioration rate in the various components since half the master cylinder is filled with Girling fluid, half with regular dot 4.
-Finally that large round gage to the right is a high pitched frequency receiver designed to track up to 12 different drivetrain noises simultaneously.
The truck is being sold to another university because the hardtop vs. soft rain penetration study has been completed in Seattle. Results have not been analysed yet.
This study is being performed courtesy of your tax dollars.

HA!
"Brit NW has 98 of the 100 and none are for sale"
That is funny! And so true!
I heard that one may have been for sale but no one could get a price quote on it.
As for the truck, I am a sucker for cool dash panels. I like it! My international has similar. I think the previous owner worked for rockwell instrumentation. The wiring was done very well.1968 Land Rover "Park Ranger" camper **SOLD**

I would love to see a better photo and an explanation of what all those gauges and switches do :-)Comment

Note the air cleaner mounted above the fender well. I have seen this done many times by French Series Owners. Sometimes it will just be the air cleaner other times a snorkle will have a snorkle hooked to it. Anyone else run across these and know the pros and cons?Comment
