  1. Even though it is ancient history, it seems so unusual that a company would put a spotlight on a competitor.
  2. It is possible that Red Dot will sell the parts after Mack considers them obsolete and no longer stocks them.
  3. Harrison radiators, Saginaw transmissions and steering gear, Rochester carburetors, Frigidaire air conditioning, Muncie transmissions.... Remember when it was Delco Remy ?
  4. This is where the grill design came from.
  5. B-73, there was no B-78. The way the emblem is made, the 3 can be mistaken for an 8.
  6. A rooftop hatch is used when the cargo is higher than the bottom of the door. I would guess the cab was narrowed by a coachbuilder, a company that would do it to any make of truck that was supplied to them.
  7. If he buys the property I would assume he will be making it accessible so he can get to it. A person buying the trucks shouldn't have to do it.
  8. What makes it unusual with the small radiator is the L cab. I don't recall ever seeing that.
  9. It looks like the toe panel is indented where the clutch pedal would be when all the way down - for the trucks that have a clutch pedal.
  10. I think Daryl Gushee had a yellow one like that.
  11. The A model was built 1950-53. Do a search here for A40 and you will get a lot of posts about them. There were other A models as well that would be similar. If it is that complete, you might consider keeping it original. The sleeper cab would make it rare.
  12. It appears that it still exists. Or it is a different one, it states that there were three. https://bringatrailer.com/2017/04/19/one-of-three-aluminum-unibody-prototypes-1953-liteway-cargo-truck/
  13. A classic - including the arm out the window.
  14. Nice pictures - heavy on Dodges.
  15. True. The bottom line is too many people that want too much stuff. And regulating the population isn't going to happen. No country wants to be weak by having too few people.
  16. It is certainly correct about GM putting new ideas into production in that era - from about 1960 to 1966. All had been done before, but they were different for a major American auto manufacturer at that time. Some of the things they came out with in addition to the transaxle were the aluminum engine, the overhead cam, front wheel drive, rear engine, V6 engine, turbocharging, pancake engine.
  17. Make a copy of this thread and get it to him.
