Who is upset? I'm simply trying to understand why you keep voting for people who keep raising your taxes. I grew up in a blue state, the one known as "The Land of Taxes". Democrat policies have absolutely RUINED that state and thousands upon thousands have moved away, including me 40 years ago. Best move I ever made!

For Federal income tax, I use the Standard Deduction, which has increased every year since 2017 and will again this year. The tax brackets have adjusted downward every year since 2017. I have no farm land, nor stocks either. Because of President Trumps tax cut in 2017, I saved $1500 in tax compared to the previous year, based on the same income. Each year since then, I also saved the original $1500, plus another $75 for each year since. Those tax cuts were set to expire this year, but President Trump extended them in last year's tax legislation, PLUS he has created a deduction for Social Security income that was being taxed. I'll find out at tax time how much more that will save me. At the State level, the income tax rate was 6% for many years, but legislation passed by our Governor is reducing it each year until it reaches 4%. In addition, the Governor has given tax rebates of $250/taxpayer in three recent years and an additional $500 rebate on property taxes to each homeowner. For the past several years, my FREE State has had a large budget surplus and has returned some of that to the taxpayers.

Tough $H!T!!!!!! Then they can go back to an Islamic country.. A person must balance their living conditions with their religion..

Are you going to use it for work or hobby/show??? For work dependability is probably your first concern?? For a show / hobby truck, are you going to drive it or trailer it?? Thankfully there are not too many car concourse picky people in the hobby to get fussy about changes. Do you want a museum quality restoration?? Do you plan to sell it to a fussy collector??? I know, more questions than answers!!!

MUSLIMS in England and Spain are demanding a redesign of each country’s national flags because they find them “offensive” https://barenakedislam.com/2026/01/02/muslims-in-england-and-spain-are-demanding-a-redesign-of-each-countrys-national-flags-because-they-find-them-offensive/

Not sure, but looks like on-line auction starts at 7PM EST on 1-20-2026 https://tomhallauctions.com/auction/griswold-neer-werk-pol/

It is hard to find a chrome shop anymore especially one that would deal with pitted metal good luck let us know what you find I am thinking about powder coating some of that kind of stuff

I disagree completely I am not democrat or republican but the left does not want the U.S. to fail any more than the right would want to see that, factory production left this country for profit CEO's have to make huge profit for the shareholders leaving normal Americans with low wages and disgust at working hard and never making ends meet that drives a lot of the drug problem we have when you can't hire American citizens to work for low paying manual labor jobs what would you expect but for illegal emigrants to move in and take those jobs I Know this well from Logging here in the mountains some Loggers here are hard corps right wing Trump fans but employ several illegal emigrants that makes no sense to me

You guys be happy with your Kool aid I'm thru voicing my opinions ya just get upset

What’s a good price to get the door handles rechrome.Mine have some pitting and I can’t find good ones.

Ok

I also have several 1/32 Mack’s I need to finish. I have a B61 that’s almost done I think I’ll start a thread on it. I also have a nice Mack RS700L wide grill that’s almost finished too. I won’t start a thread on it until I get the B61 done.

Sounds good to me.

Alright! I have to go Dump trucking but I’ll be checking in

I year later update. Over the past week or so I got it running. The injection pump fuel rack was stuck but finally got that moving. Runs pretty good. its E6 315 2v with 5 speed Mack .

Mackey.. the reason that jobs are slim and production is in other countries is because your klan wants us to fail. Regulations stop our production, and foriegn labor steels our jobs, your klan let them in to do the work for 1/2 price.

mech, Vallerie had a cross dock terminal in Concord NH. l was doing LTL at the time they were open. Most of their trucks were Whites but l can't find any pictures. l don't remember a sister company at that time. When they closed NEMF moved into the terminal on Hall St after a couple years. Salia (sp) went in after NEMF and they have moved on to a different address also. .....Hippy

I was able to get it unstuck. Runs pretty good

I'm telling you what I see .I'm glad things are better in your FREE state.

Where are all the jobs,no steel mills trucks are made in Mexico .

Really, my taxes go up every year I have no deductions no farm land ,no stocks live within my means and pay every year. But you do you buddy.

I’ve owned and worked on a few older trucks over the years, and one thing I still see debated is how far to go with updates on classic Macks. I’ve always tried to keep changes either invisible or easily reversible brakes, wiring, cooling, gearing mainly so the truck can be used without hurting its originality. At the same time, once you start cutting or modernizing too much, you lose what makes the truck a Mack. For those of you who have restored or run these trucks long term, what upgrades have you found worthwhile, and what do you avoid altogether? Does rarity or intended use change your approach? Interested in hearing real world experiences.
