  1. Check the u bolts and spring pads, more than likely they are loose. There is a reason that the axle cracked, check around the spring pad for cracks.
  2. Looks like the floor been replaced or am I imagining it? Sure is in better shape than I would have thought plowing snow all thoses years.
  3. Man you all have some real nice weather, we are lucky to get into the 50's
  4. congrats on getting it out, now take a hot bath and warm up!
  5. I think it depends on year and engines my 78 mounts on the frame like yours and connects to the front of the radiator but it has a cummins and a different radiator than a Mack or Cat motor.
  6. Nice looking truck and colors. Why does the stripping go at an angle on the door are they paving contractors so it looks like a road?
  7. Check out RanchHopper he had some and could ship them for cheaper that you could probably get them mounted for.
  8. I got a 250k torpedo heater if you want to borrow it. You will be able to work in your underwear outside just have to point it at you.
  9. Good example Vlad. I am sure it also has something to do with how heavy the front end is also, if it is a 12k front axle it will sit a lot different than a 20K especially with no load and not worn out.
  10. Sources for Owners manuals = Contact the Mack Museum http://www.macktruckshistoricalmuseum.org/ Send them your info and truck vin and they will send you a package with build sheets and manuals, then send them a donation.
  11. Not sure how many of you have HBO but I record this and watched it last night "VICE Special Report: Fighting ISIS" Some of it is on youtube and you can see some at the HBO website.
  12. I bet a local upholstery place would sell some, there is a place online that sells it but it the shipping that kills it. This is where I was going to buy it before I found National Fabric. I purchased all the material for the Superliner at Hancock Fabric, they sell remnant vinyl for $5 a yard and have 60" headliner materiel, was less expensive than National and a lot closer. Make sure to by the heavy mil automotive grade, you will be able to tell. You can sew on a regular HD sewing machine, just take your time. http://www.perfectfit.com/15347/Chipboard-Car-Panelboard.html
  13. National Fabrics 901 S. 7th St. Kansas City, Kansas 66105 Phone: 913-281-1833 Fax: 913-281-1851 Like $5 a sheet
  14. That is a big sleeper, where was that hiding?
  15. They caucus differently by party
  16. Here in KC #1 MOTOR CAST is $120 a ton so maybe $175 is all its worth with the transmission
  17. Wouldn't pay anymore than scrap unless it turns over and you need it, I am sure that it was pulled after something went wrong or the truck was plumb worn out, being a pit truck probably not an easy life if driven like the trucks I have seen in pits over the years. Load them up till it spills off the sides than wide open up the hill to dump
  18. I have not come across any that weren't cores or to much money. I have been looking for a bus, 1 ton, med duty truck. Most of the engines are pulled and sitting on the ground and it's a crap shoot, they all have rebuilt pumps and low milage but no paper work or ability to fire one up. That is why I was excited about the 671 as it runs and yard drives. Guy has a bus for v sale with a 5.9 and automatic I think he wants to much maybe not maybe I am to cheap.
  19. On the pryometer you might as well buy a new one. These guys make them for Mack even back in the day so they will be able to help you out bought one for My 1980 R looked just like the one that was in it. http://www.hewittindustries.com/pyrometers_2_inches_dual.html Superdog on here might be able to help you with the cross memeber. Ebay is best bet for radio here is one http://www.ebay.com/itm/70S-VINTAGE-MACK-RADIO-NEW-MACK-TRUCK-AM-RADIO-36MT47P2-BULLDOG-ON-FRONT-SALE-/381515547847?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368
  20. I never saw the other thread, thanks for the link. Probably why it is still available for sale.
