Tom, Like you I am a beer drinker.. Yuengling... When I was young I tapped the Southern Comfort bottle right regular!!!!

A couple of things on pictures:: After I joined for either $75 or $90 I have not had any problems.. Another way is to use the free Postimage.com or establish a free Flicker account.. either way I have had NO Problems from my desk top computer, BUT you will have to check with others about from your phone??

Congratulations!!! And welcome to BMT .. As asked before what part of Calif???? Get it cleaned up and post more pictures and we can help better..BMT has some connections out there, thinking Norm Taunton in Galt CA?? Depending on what you want to use it for that 864 would be all right for a hobby truck, BUT if you plan to work it some you might think about upgrading it???

It finally came to me::: The Hogs Breath Saloon, Rockhampton, QLD, AU..

During our 2015 Down Under tour of Australia as our bus was approaching Rockhampton our lady bus driver knew of a famous pub, which I can not remember the name of, and the tour director was able to make reservations and the bus driver was able to park close by and they fed the 30 of us some of the best steaks, which they called Prime Rib, we had ever had.. By this time we had made good friends with her and needless to say her steak went on one of our bills!! Ironically the next day at Tony Champion's she met some people she knew, and by the time the trip was over she was fully diagnosed with "Tired Iron Fever"!! Part of her tip was a years membership to both ATHS and ATCA..

I have learned to like my steaks closer to medium than medium well.. A lot more tender!! I Had a friend who like very rare beef.. We were in a group at a fairly fancy restaurant, well on the way of being very tipsy, when the waitress asked how he wanted his steak he said " trim its horns, wipe its a$$, and walk it in" She never batted an eye.. As she was serving us our dinners, the chef walked in with a totally RAW steak on the plate and asked him if he "would like it warmed up?" As the rest of us were laughing our a$$ off his wife was ready to kill him!!!!

Here is my photo of that truck at the Alice Springs 2015 Truckies Reunion.

Albert, Apparently you do not have dirt / gravel roads in Nu Joisey?????? Remember both New Zealand and Australia do!!! They even run triple trailer "Road Trains" on the dirt roads of the Outback...

Terry, Hit Ctrl and the letter I at the same time.. Should go back???

Brad, Welcome back!!! All of the above comments from August are applicable.. Give it a good bath and then take a LOT of pictures: fenders, cab corners, engine (looking for obvious leaks), frame (single or double?), interior, ETC. and post them here for comments. Since you are in Iowa make an appointment with the Iowa 80 restoration shop, behind the museum, or Lee Snyder northwest of Des Moines (if he is still alive?) and ask them to give you some advise and some rough ball park pricing of having it restored VS a Do It Yourself job. I do not know what Mike Harbison Jr is doing with his fathers collection of about 200 Macks in Rising Sun?? I would put a bar on the engine to see if it turns over rather than try to start it first.

Call Barry at Watts Mack!!! They are the sponsors of this website.. If he does not stock one he would now here to get one..

Try BEPCO,inc 2475 South Stratford Road, Winston Salem NC 27103 336-760-0749 or 800-735-1154 It was May of 2007 when I dealt with them for a unit for my 1955 F-600 Ford..

The only time I have seen them in the USA is at Scottish festivals..

Is that a tag axle?? Or home made screw??? Ford did not introduce a tandem drive until 1954 with the T-800..

Out of couriosity, what is the third stick??? An extra overdrive???
