OH OH OH OH OH>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Pick me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "motorboat" is the only word that comes to mind right now.

Welcome to the site! Awesome trucks!!

Take it slow and easy. Won't take much to throw it all outta whack again.

Before you pull it off, you might want to check operations. The line going to the compressor head should have NO air going to it when you start truck(with basically no air pressure yet). The govenor should hold back til you get to 120#, then it should allow air to go to compressor head(unloader). Once it drops down to 90#, it should shut air off again til it builds up. That govenor is an air switch basically. If you remove the line going to compressor, start truck, and get air from that line. The govenor is bad.

My first Shadow(1986) 700, it was like brand new with only 13K miles on it when I got it about 5 yrs ago. Good running lil bike. Loved those 80's Hondas. ' Traded it off for a 2000 model 1100, which I sold off for my 2007 HD.

I have a very short clip of me driving Stan Lemans V8 truck, but can't seem to get it off my phone and to my computer. Argh. Someday.........someday I'll get a chance to take it for a real drive!! Someday........

I remember those universal kits, yup mounted right over door panel, looked like an arm rest of sorts. Been years, I'm thinking that JC Whitney sold them?

Really, what car? Um, don't seem to see it in the picture you posted.......................

Wow, they musta kept it under wraps. Never been to Lynn's, but know the location. Just a few blocks north, Rohr's towing has a B75? tow truck sitting in the back of their shop. Hasn't seen the light of day for many, many years. I purchased my B model from General Towing in Canton.

Very cool truck!

I'm pretty sure I still have my original tank. I had to remove it when I put the air ride on. Free to good home, but the cost of the trip might not be worth it? I can throw it on a skid at work and COD the freight to a terminal near you. We use a variety of companies daily. Has two drain valves in the bottom, plus the connection across the top with check valve. I can get you pics. I think I have the straps too?

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Basically, the governor is just like on a shop compressor, only it just pushes on the "unloader" which holds the valves open so the pump freewheels(instead of shutting it off like a shop compressor). If the spool valve portion gets sticky and won't move, or the O rings get dry and leaks by it won't function properly. Here is a post on my recent rebuild: http://www.bigmacktr...ulatorwore-out/ You need to join up with the NEO chapter of the ATHS. https://sites.google...ochapterofaths/ Bring that bad boy to our show in Ashland next June!!! This years show: https://sites.google...-truck-jamboree Heck, if you need someone to drive it there..............I'm available LOL!

My work deals with Dimension Industries in Columbia station(on Rt. 82). Been up there a couple times myself.

Ask and yee shall receive............ http://youtu.be/RF3MuStIm18

Englishtown holds it yearly. Quakercity did it for a few years, but they didn't advertise it very well. Low truck counts, only lasted a couple years and never again.

I had mine out in the rain yesterday also. Hauled my buddies Bobcat back to his property so he can use it too! I have free dibs, but that usually includes fixing what's broke so it's ready for him the next time he needs it LOL!! Sorry no pics, and no other Macks were seen.

Yup. That threaded part, with the o-ring screws into the block. But I see you already have this fixed and truck running. Thought I would reply just in case someone searches this.

Sonny Trapp, from over Jersey way handed me my hat. That barndoor runs mid 15's all day. It's awesome to watch. He puts it on the gov'nr and let's it fly. I have some video, but need to get it tranferred to computer. BTW, the ol dog only goes about 26's at 49 mph LOL!! He runs 15's at 80 mph!

This is truck racing............back about 2004??

That's the catch for buying stuff like that. Cheap, but need to have to have a shipping plan ahead of time to make it worth the while. I sold(ie:cheap) a bench seat out of my '67 F100 years back. The guy was from Okie, and I thought great what is this gunno take. Come to find out the guys dad lived just outside of Barberton!!! He picked it up at my work!! Talk about "EASY" button LOL!!! I've got Rob's number, but I know he goes AWOL sometimes.

Holy crap Ken. That sucks. You could have the dealer strap it to a skid and truck freight it cheaper!! Pick it up at local terminal. We're talking $100-150 maybe? Get a quote in writing so when they try to screw you over you have something to show them. Just say, CYA. You do realize that is over Rob's way? Like 1/2 hour from Farmington, IL.

Say what?? Massillon?? Come on..........after 46 yrs here I've never seen that B, ever. Guess it spent alot of time hiding in a garage. Good looking truck!!

Well, maybe I'll get one and throw it in the truck for a rainy day(that is likely when I'll have to replace it anyway LOL). There was enough oily goop that the spring was not rusty at all. You never know though!

NICE!!!

Just grab that square plate and slip the element out of the block. It does down, so you will have to wiggle it around. There is an insert screwed into the block with a shoulder on it. There is a ring behind the shoulder that the element plate bolts to(with a rubber gasket). I had to remove mine completely when I installed the screw on filter housing. To remove the screw in bushing, I had to heat and chisel it out. What was left: New plug: No room behind new housing: BTW, I never really used the block heater. I'm one of the lucky ones, even at 18* temperature, I was able to get her to fire up WITHOUT ether or heater. Crank, wait, crank, wait..............Zoom it came to life. Guess I got a good one? But I do have 12v starter and GOOD batteries. It wings that lil motor over like nothing. I originally put FOUR 12v batteries in it, but a few years ago I finally had to replace them I just put two and it still starts very easily.
