  1. Check with Barry at Watts Truck Center.. The host of this site.. Since your are in CONN check with Matt Phfal. PM/email both Mechicalic and mattb73lt, thru this website, who are both in CONN also
  2. Same rules here.. I have a smoke alarm in the center of the house wired into the burglar alarm system. And YES my wife has set it off a couple of times. and the alarm company calling!!!
  3. He has it on a detach trailer. Hopefully for just a show / hobby truck the tires would be OK. Unless there is something seriously wrong mechanically the owner can get away with a good cleaning and a DuPont restoration. It is uniquely different enough that the truck could be a conversation starter just as it is???
  4. When you get the serial number, send it to the Mack Museum ( with a donation) and they will send you a big information package.. IF your brother has not already done so???
  5. Unless something mechanical is totally shot?? It does not look like it would take much work to make it roadworthy enough for some local hauling..
  6. You and your son should buy it to complement your AM General!!! I think (??) that the hood is factory??? The fender inserts are because the 6X6 sits higher and the same with the headlights as some states / countries have height laws for headlights...
  7. PM sent Sunday 9/21 @ 11 AM Also share some pictures with us..
  8. Sorry to hear about the house, But as said everything will work out.. Has your wife been bugging you about remodeling the kitchen???????
  9. That will be a neat truck when it is refurbrished.. I like the winch and heavy slide rails an the back.
  10. Have you looked on McMaster Carr ( I think that is the right name???) Tom Millard, of Scranton PA, Used a lot of their hardware when he was restoring his Brockways.. I have his email addy if you need it..
  11. That is a great picture.. Thank you for your support for the children's charity .
  12. Hellva good starter truck!!!! How does it pass PA's body rust rules????
  13. I do NOT think so. The overall shape of the grader area is different, hydraulic blade controls different, and a different name plate..
  14. Send an email to Doug Maney, the curator of the Mack Museum.. He may have a contact to help you.. PM me if you need an email address different from the museum's website..
  15. I have seen one of the Farmall M's converted to a grader at Stew Paquette's museum in Leesburg FL where he used to host the ATCA Vintage Trucks of Florida winter show.
  16. Since you are in ILL Check with the people at the Iowa 80 truck museum in Walcott Iowa. Another thought is Sid Kamp trucking, they are in ILL, I think the Joliet area?? And are big Mack restorers. Take a bunch of pictures to attach to an email you might send them.. Each of these places may be able to give you a price and/or a potential customer????
  17. I am thinking Colonial might have had some twin steers???? They had some big a$$ed F-800's also.
  18. Do not know about phones, But on you desk top go to your picture section, create a new folder and name it. The right click on the picture here and in the drop down menu chose "save image as" and send it to the new folder.. You may have to play with it to make it work!!
  19. Is this gas or diesel???? IF gas be sure to use ethanol FREE gas!! Laced with Sta-Bil... With regular gas the ethanol will separate, eat up rubber hoses, fuel pump & carbs rubber components, turn to brown sludge, and draw moisture.. If diesel add some algae killer just to be on the safe side. You could transition to the Antique and Classic section. Not sure about North Carolina, but most states consider 25 years old to be eligible for Antique / Historical plates and insurance. If you are an ATHS member, Haggerty offers a discount.. What do you plan to do with it as these plates and insurance have some restrictions.

    Shop Talk

    As long as your sit down breaks are NOT in front of the TV or on the computer they are allowed!!!!
  21. Thanks, looks like a great show, But a tad far for me!!!
  22. Joey I think(??) you just got suckered into giving some Chinese manufacturer the information they need to build more JUNK for us!!!!!
  23. That must have been at the Carolina Piedmont chapter show?? One I missed..
  24. BUT there must have been an autopsy on the bystander????
  25. The H-81 was a monster!! Think Colonial Redi Mix and Edgar Browning in NYC.. I think (??) I have seen pictures of them???
