    How about a snowplow? Seems that would go good with a load of salt.

    You should have said to "Sit down before you look at the price."
  3. Phase 1
    Yes. Nice truck too.
  4. Phase 1
    Yeah.......... that seems like a good thing to do with a camera.
  5. Phase 1
    How and why did it get way down to Tennessee?
  6. Phase 1
    Here is Andy Martins F. I have seen it but didn't know it was all aluminum. The aluminum models must have had an L in the model number?

    This one could be yours. http://www.machinio.com/listings/635378-1976-MACK-RD795

    Those pictures would be good for Double Clutch or Wheels Of Time articles. Bob Ward showed truck pictures from when he worked in a truck stop in Iowa in some issues of Wheels Of Time some years back - often telling about the truck or its driver. They were very interesting. In old truck pictures from the west coast, you see west coast type trucks. The other place that west coast style trucks are seen is in the Florida produce haulers pictures.

    Please share the history.

    That was what I wondered when I first heard the explanation - why not change the rotation of the prop which would be accomplished by changing the rotation of the engine. In the early years it did not matter, early cars and trucks had both right and left hand drive. Also, motor makers did not build boats and boat builders did not make motors. So the boat builders had to take what they got. And it doesn't much matter in the first place because boats are not driven down the highway so it really makes no difference which side the driver sits on. Is it different in Russia Vlad?

    What is this with a narrow nose? A B-71 had a front end like a 60 series, but I have never seen a B-75 like that. Is it factory or something someone put together?

    Do a forum search for Clariben.
  13. Phase 1
    Another thing from what I have seen, the Clariben hood was often used on a truck that had a front end crash. A quick and easy way to repair it rather than pounding out and/or replacing all the sheet metal parts. Probably often cheaper too.

    In a boat, the rotation of the propeller causes the right side of the boat to raise and lowers the left. So if the operator sits on the left, it makes the lean angle worse. Sitting on the high side helps to balance the boat out. If you take a large girl along however, that shoots that idea.

    Gray Marine used Detroit's for their marine conversions, but I don't think there was any other connection. Winton was the engine company that GM bought out that became the EMD locomotive diesel and I assume it was their experience with those that led them to design a two stroke truck diesel. The larger two stroke Detroit Diesels are still being made although I think it is done overseas now.

    Sshhhh! Don't let East Coast Diesel see it!

    If you want to stay under the regular license limit without needing a CDL, it is the trucks maximum gross weight rating that determines that, not the weight of the truck. If the GVWR is over 26,000 you need a CDL. But as I understand it, some states allow you to run any hobby truck without a CDL. It may need historical or collector plates?

    All from the same eBay seller. The price is for each on the top two, but there are more available. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Goodyear-11-00R24-G286-Unisteel-Load-range-H-Tube-type-Tire-Used-/360667001471?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Tires&hash=item53f96db27f http://www.ebay.com/itm/General-Tire-11-00R24-Ameri-Lug-DT-Load-range-H-Tube-type-Aggressive-Tire-Used-/181149689807?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Tires&hash=item2a2d5ce7cf http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tire-11-00-24-Magna-Highway-NTD-Load-Range-G-14-ply-Set-of-3-Look-Unused-/360678658079?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Tires&hash=item53fa1f901f

    Some information on N fire trucks: http://www.centralpafire.com/forum/showthread.php?31360-Mack-N-Series It appears that Mack built five N model fire trucks, but other fire apparatus builders put their bodies on N models too.

    It will be right twice a day.

    That's what I thought. I'd like to enlarge that picture and frame it. How close can that be dated? The frames are painted the same color as the rest of the truck and that changed in 1960? I don't recall seeing the mufflers mounted that high on G models. Was that only done for a period of time?
  23. Phase 1
    Oh- well that explains your posting of it. I apparently misinterpreted your statement - " IH didn't build many of them. A lot of people have seen pictures of them but to my knowledge, no one has seen one in person recently. Sometime you should write about what you have learned about them. Your current project looks good. You would get a lot of stares driving it just the way it is. Looking at it leads me to thinking grey and black would be good on it.
  24. Phase 1
    I believe the pictures are relatively recent and someone has purchased that truck. There is some information on the ATHS site. I had thought that they all had Detroit V12's, but it appears some may have had 335's. http://forums.aths.org/2438/Longnose-HighBinder,-John-Hanson,-28-Jun-2006-0838

    The three holes show that it is a heavy duty model, I think that started with the F700. The F600 did not have running boards. The number of wheel studs may also give a clue to the size. Most of the cab parts should be the same for all the F series.
