Chicks dig scars

That's fantastic. Looks like you went all out.

What ever happened to Bugs Bunny, Flintstones, Tom and Jerry?

I don't see the problem, that will buff right out. Oh and according to a couple posts, they said this was the tool of destruction:

A L I E N S Two aliens landed in the Arizona desert near a gas station and approached one of the gas pumps saying, "Greetings, Earthling. Take us to your leader!" The gas pump, of course, didn't respond and younger alien became angry. "I'd calm down if I were you..." the older alien said. The younger alien ignored the warning and repeated his greeting again with no response. Annoyed by the pump's haughty attitude, he drew his ray gun. The older alien warned him saying, "You don't want to do that...I don't think you should make him mad" "Rubbish," replied the young alien and opened fire. There was a huge explosion and a massive fireball blew the young alien off his feet and deposited him in a cactus patch. When he finally regained consciousness, he looked dazedly at the older alien who was standing over him shaking his head. "He damn near killed me! How did you know he was so dangerous?" exclaimed the young alien. The older alien leaned over, placed a friendly feeler on him and replied, "One thing I've learned during all my years of intergalactic travels is that you never mess with a guy who can wrap his penis around himself twice and then stick it in his own ear."

It was a dump truck the seller said but the dump body was removed by the previous owner. That could also explain the possible plow evidence. I don't mind the cheap respray as long as it protected the metal and it isn't full of bondo. I have body guys I work with so it wouldnt be to bad to prep and have them shoot the cab paint. I can do the frame.

I am aware of the lack on top end speed but its a good entry level Mack for me since I am still wet behind the ears on these things. My experience with classic cars should help in checking the basics and cosmetics. My friend Russ will go with me to check out the mechanicals on it. He used to drive B dumps back in the day, then some how defected and went to L9000 Fords. I am waiting for new updated pictures showing more detail.

I think I've always been partial to C60/c70 Chevys from 73-80's and internationals, especially the Eagle cabover double bunks. Also a 379 would be nice.

Thanks for the fast response. I'll measure between the wheel wells on the trailer tomorrow. Do you guys think I will have any issues with using that type of trailer? Mackmixer - I will keep the rears behind the trailer axles so I should be good if the fronts fit. Vinny - if I buy the truck I'll get in touch. Who has a 5th wheel available?

I found another B42 for sale. This one in CT. This is what the owner said about it: "The Mac is a 2 shifter, it has a dump hydrolic cylinder on back and is not a fifth wheel. It has a gas motor and nothing we know is wrong, drove it around the yard." Obvious they are not quite sure what they have as Mac is missing the K. I assume its a duplex trans? I am thinking of pulling the ram for the dump and putting a 5th wheel on the back. Price seems reasonable but to be determined when I get the rest of the pictures. Here are the shots they sent already: Looks like it will be a good start for a hobby truck and I am ahead of the game since it already runs. Tires are one thing it looks like it will need as well as a bumper and the before mentioned 5th wheel. Anyone have one? The other question I have is do you think my shops 2 car tag along trailer will handle this thing from the Hartford area back down to Lakewood NJ? I figured the truck to be around 8,000lbs as it sits. I think the trailer has a 15,000lb gvw. My other concern is if the front wheels will fit between the fenders on the trailer. Anyone know the width from the outside of the tire across to the other side? Here is a picture of the trailer so you can get an idea: Thanks as always for the help and advice.

Tell them it's very large marijuana plants some pot heads started to grow on the property. The Sheriff will remove them for you.

Miss, I ordered a pie

That read 5th wheel looks like a great truck for tight areas. That would be nice with a 3 car hauler on it.

That's not a bumper, thats a fishing platform.

No CDL? I have to look into this law. . .

I don't know much about trucks myself but any chance you can mail me a didgeridoo? Seriously welcome to the site. As you can these guys are a bit wacky but harmless. Feel free to pm me for my address to send that didgeridoo

Kick ass dude! Weekly progress!

I can see chains would be useful in this situation.

The Pope and President Obama are on the same stage in Yankee Stadium in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leans towards President Obama and said, "Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into their hearts and they'll forever speak of this day and rejoice!" Obama replied, "I seriously doubt that! With one little wave of your hand....Show me!" So the Pope backhanded him and knocked him off the stage! AND THE CROWD GOES WILD and there was happiness throughout the land!

Hey Vinny, I had to dig around the garage but I got the horn for that Roadrunner:

aye aye captain

You are probably right that it doesn't meet standards. Theres cert stickers all over this thing from 06, 08 and I think 2010. I have no knowledge of fire trucks so I know its going to be all new to me. I have little knowledge of big trucks in general, thus the reason why I joined the site. Well, its collector owned now so its going to be someones toy, or export. Either way, it was fun to play with it at his house. What kid didn't grow up wanting to play on fire truck? I finally got to at the age of 40. Unforntunatly, I didn't get to drive it down the street. I am still trying to get him to let me do that.
