    Mine will roast you out if slow moving. Get it on the highway and it gets cold quick from all the leaks.
  2. Freightrain
    What is reason you want a quad? Just curious.
  3. Freightrain
    I have muffler under cab. Some days I'd like to make it bark. Most I like to be able to hear myself think! Guess I'm getting old?
  4. Freightrain
    Ya, that too.

    I'll guess there weren't many "BIG" trees around when they parked it. 20+ yrs makes little trees turn into BIG trees. Looks like it still has split rims on it? No one has run those in many, many years.

    Truck looks pretty decent overall, beside the roof damage. How deep in the woods do you have to go to get it?

    Swear that is a Chebby bed? Ugh. They extended the cab? Lots of work into it, I give them that(and black to boot). A30? It has a B model front end on it.

    Kinda like it,even though it is a Pete. I put a low air flag in my truck just because I remember them growing up and always though they were cool. By the shift pattern plate I'm guessing it is a 4x4, likely Spicer married box?

    So the trailer loading height was lower due to the shorter wheels? Giving more cubic feet of box since it was taller. Interesting.

    Isn't the same part for even later model stuff? 237/285/300? Should be available at local Mack dealer then? I just did the hammer trick to make a gasket for my compressor mount. Didn't want to go through the hassle of buying one at Mack, got some paper and made it. I've got a box full of random gaskets for a 673. Can't guarantee there are ones in it? I can look around if you like. Not really sure what they look like or the sizes(as my 673 is all together). Can you post up nice full size pictures?
  11. Freightrain
    Looks pretty nice for the money.

    One really, really slow 1/4 miles at a time. LOL!!! It only went 26.xx at 49 mph.............................LMAO!!!! Ya, real barn stormer............ Took my one friends wife for a ride down the track and she hopped in and was looking for the seat belt. I told here she went faster getting here in their motorhome then I will be going down the track.

    Huh? What? Um, it was only driven to church on sunday and never rac..................... Um, it was never raced........ Right. Nope. Not while I owned it. You'll never find any proof of that anywhere..............

    Ya, my work computer has Yahoo mail. All the ads on the sides are from Ebay or searches I've done(like cars.com). Ugh. They do put a little box on the ad that allows you to change the ad to something you might want. I've tried it. Still the same old shit shows up LOL! Oh, but they are trying to help us. Ya, right. Still haven't brought up any ads for Winfall Wimmin? What's up with that?

    Hey, if you need a motor, I got a sweet running 673 that will plop right down in there. Real penny pincher on fuel too. Doesn't really even use any oil and that ain't bad for a 60 year old motor.

    "Missed it by THAT much"..............

    I saw that fleet getting set up for the photograph at York. Very neat selection of trucks.
  18. Freightrain
    Yup, just click on the box and pick FOR SALE or BUY.

    After doing some reading in my motor book I found they dont use valve stem seals. Interesting. Second it appears by the number I posted above I have the early small drive. The book notes that on rebuild to upgrade to wider drive coupler 461GC232. Kit #215SB107.
  20. Freightrain
    66rmack what is the part number on that? I unscrewed the cover off mine and found: 347GC215. Which is the narrow tang drive. I can't find any valve stem seals on my heads. The kit came with o rings but no grooves on the stem for them and no umbrella style seals to be found.
  21. Freightrain
    Yardo you're holding back again. Tell us how you really feel?
  22. Freightrain
    Yes it has fire rings. That part is handled. I was curious about the o rings(if that was what they were) around the water holes in the deck. I can get a picture. Was wondering if that was a factory style headgasket compared to the felpro. OK. I won't worry about the pump drive. Just thought I would ask if I could improve it. I saw Ron had posted to the other question and said there was a procedure to upgrade to later drive.
  23. Freightrain
    I couldn't imagine actually changing all the oil on a locomotive engine!
  24. Freightrain
    Thanks for the pictures. Now the $22000 question: can it be upgraded? Or just replace it and hope for the best for another 10-20 yrs? I got all winter(hopefully it is a short winter), but want to address this now.
  25. Freightrain
    Ya, that's it. Mine does have the screw in plug for the pump. Guess I need to get it unscrewed and check it out. Can you adapt to newer set up?
