mackdaddy: we have a 6000 gal a drop martin mars water bomber sitting up here dong nothing that is excellant at putting out fires.

it says it has a 8 cyl engine.Would that be a 8v71 or Cummin's 903.

to get oil in the cooling system you are getting trans pressure leak.you need to know what the trans pressure is.

don't know if this the right place to put this but here goes.for all the old timers a good game of seeing how many you can get right. americantorque.com/game/pickup-id/

My mistake on name . it's Al Nelson from California.

LTL sheet metal on a newer chassis . Neilson from California who also has a LTH in same colors and has had it at numerous shows. 

whitewalls were IN in the 50s on trucks. Ever see the Kenworth of Cooper- Jarret with them on .looked neat

now I see where Clark got there 91000lb hub idea from which they did'nt remodel till the 70's. Mack's were a much stronger planetary rear end set up than the Clark's. (needle bearings for pinion gears and "O" rings for sealing) instead of PERMATEX which went hard under heat and leaked worse than the green leakers that were  powering them.

1710 wasn't out yet but they did have the V-12 1486s Cummins

the first batch of MACK CL350s were powered by 12V71@456 power (N65) injecters 6 speed 5960 allison trans and Mack planetary rears.some still at work hauling logs.

There is a out fit in Port Angles Washington that makes head gaskets. maybe someone on here knows there address.

theakerstwo: I wonder if you could do it today and get away with it.

There were a lot of heavy duty Mack LT's here on Vancouver Island in the logging industry.H-S 400s, 65,000 lb rears ,12.00:24 tires,12 ft bunks.

I was told that the Kenworth that had the V-12 was hauling butane tanker out of LA and when they got out of site they hooked the truck fuel system to the tanker.No one will say if they ever got caught.

A friend just emailed me telling me that Hall-Scott engines are going back into production.www.hallscottengines.com.

behind right front spring hanger. if not there frame may have been changed.

no there is one uglier than that and that's the DIAMOND T COE.It is butt ugly,even the interior

there are two bends to that style. The ones off a L model MACK and the ones off a B model Mack.The L model is a lot flatter than the B model.

I find oven cleaner from the wifes cupboard then wash off with garden hose.Takes the grease off the rear ends and trans.with no problem. just let it soak for a few minutes after spraying on. Practice makes perfect. 

looks like LJSWX has been repowered and is still in use.would like to get chassis number if any body here is close to it.

it is very nice to see pictures from so far away.thank you very much for sharing to us on west coast.

LJ's useually had 707s but could be a 540.you probably know where the en size is stamped on block.

the L model is more of the classy style.my windshields cost 90.00 a side for my l j ,a bumper and a headlite,and i'll bet the engine would start with a little t l c 

what model of mack are they off.6 hole drums must be dayton hubs.(spoke)

mack wasn't consistant on the hood number's. exsample  there were b-42 gas, b-421 gas, 422 gas, badges.
