    At the farm, YES!! But in the larger facilities from PU truck to road tanker Rubber Duck will have to explain better. I do not miss pulling tits twice every day. Beef farming is a lot less strenuous on your living schedule.

    Welcome to Big Mack Trucks!!!!! I am sure there is someone out there making your window rubbers. Tom Warren Jr in Amarillo Tex used to, but I have not heard from him in a couple of years since his father died. The business may be tied up in an estate settlement???? Please post some pictures of your project, they always help with encouragement!!!

    Hippy, Thank you for those videos. To ALL::: If you ever get to Bangor ME put the Cole's museum on your "to do list".... Everything from a railroad locomotive to bicycles hanging from the ceiling!!!

    Jon, The rule of thumb is to start asking high!! Then you can bargain down and the buyer thinks he is getting a good deal!!!

    NO.. The majority are Australian trucks even though several are American trucks he has imported. There were a few years that LHD vehicles were allowed be used in Australia. The Mayne Nickless H model is one of them. Paul Mrs Mack can clarify better. Tony was also a Cat dealer at one time and his restoration shop is pictured in the old Cat building.

    Paul, Thank you for that post. Australia's biggest conservator of Mack equipment and history is probably Tony Champion of Rockhampton QLD. Below is a link to the pictures of my visit to his facility in 2015. Click on the picture and the album will open.The R-800 in one of the first back lot pictures is now restored and there was an article about it in a recent ATCA Double Clutch magazine.

    Congratulations!!!!! How did you do it??? Diet??? Exercise??? I am 6'4" and have dropped from 250 when driving to 235 in retirement, but would still like to get back to about 200.. I have the arthritis problem in my hips as well as fighting sugar.

    As a kid the calves we bought to raise for beef became as much a pet as anything.

    Tom, This is sad to hear. But it fits with "New Breed" of trucker who do NOT know that to sit down at a relaxing meal makes them safer on the highway as well as keeping their blood pressure down. Most all of the family style restaurants, that had truck parking, that I used to frequent have gone entirely or are no longer 24/7.. Pilot was one of the worst for remodeling the restaurants they bought with a D-8!!

    GW, May Rory RIP.. My thoughts are with you as I can still remember some of the dogs I have had over the years.

    The truck definitely looks like they could have fitted a 12V71 instead of the 8V71??

    The LTH looks great just as it is!!!!!! Presently it is in its historically relevant retired horse van operating colors. I would not paint it or change anything unless I found its true colors from Alaska???

    Here is a picture, from 2013, of one of the long doubles Far North mentioned above. The second picture is of a truck trailer combo I played hopscotch with on the approximately 250 miles from Tok AK to Dawson YK, 120 miles of which was dirt road.

    Found it!!! That article was well written. I hope you can get a couple of extra copies?? Dawson will have to preserve one so he can show it off when he is your age.. Attending that exhibition and meeting the Mack CEO will be a highlight of both your lives, to remembered for all time. Dawson will be the top kid at his school's Show and Tell!!!

    At a first glance he has a John Wayne look ?? And probably just as tough!!!
  20. Brocky
    WOW!!!! This story keeps getting better an better!!!

    We will need more numbers and information to answer your question. With better info you will get some answers here and if not call Barry at Watts Mack, the sponsor of this site, and he should know.

    I will let you tell about its horse van escapades..

    Welcome to BMT.. Yes we have several Canadian members as well as Ireland, Australia, Russia, and other parts of the world!!! Please post some pictures and complete model number and ask any question you want. There is NO such thing as a dumb question!! There is a lot of expertise on this site..
  24. Brocky
    That would be a simple on/off switch with a wire from it to the push button. NAPA might(???) still carry something?? Try calling Watts Mack, the sponsor of this website, Barry would know how to get one if he does not have one in stock.. For your described usage a simple toggle switch would work!!

    The only other air over cable parking brake I have seen is on the Early 60's Diamond T that a friend of Jeff Lakaszcyck from Connecticut built and was at the 2012 Springfield Mass show, and also at Macungie in 2013. What is the original Transmission set up??, that they needed another 3 speed auxiliary???
