Final show of the year, after Bolton show truck put away till next spring,,,,,so sad.

Berube's in New Hampshire has them without the fog light opening. They are a little taller than the original bumper but are nice, a friend put one on his Superliner last year. 

Neither of my trucks have battery shut off switches in them and they are fine if left all winter. I will tell you my trucks are inside out of the weather and I will periodically pull them out and let them run for a while to just to let them run.

I've been working on my new Superliner when I can find time between everything else.

Removed previous Owner's lettering and had truck relettered and striped.   Added new emblems and fender mirrors.   Most of the aluminum has been polished, a little more to go!   

 

Looking forward to getting it registered and out on the road.

 

Truck looks great, you not driving for Alky any more or you have someone driving it for you. Are you going to do up the other Superliners you have.

Doing a really nice job, enjoy seeing your progress.

I would say like Jim an RD, looks like it probably rotted out and someone said I can fix that and honestly not a bad job, will never rot again from the salt.

Great looking barn.The father's day gift is great also,was it just a one and done or could more be had?

Thanks for the nice comments on barn. The sign can be recreated by the person who made it for me, the picture does not do the deatail justice. He told me other guys with Macks who saw it when he was doing truck lettering for them also asked him about it.  My daughter gave him a picture of it and he recreated it for me, if your interested send me a message and I will get you the info.

That 93 Started its life as Dump truck and the previous owner removed it to pull a trailer. It is now owned by Ronnie Loieselle. 

When we did the B Model be dismantled all three frame rails and after sand blasting they where as you said "pitted" so we primed all the rails then used a good body filler on the outside of the outer rail where needed and just the inside of the inner most rail. We then primed them again and then painted and they came of like glass you can't tell that they where ever touched.

Its all time and patience Vinny, so far what you have been able to accomplish looks great.

Did not see a post here for the truck show 8/21 in Deering NH at the old air field. This show is the replacement for the Barrinton show. I plan to make the ride north. 

I had a similar issue on the brakes of my Lowbed they where very slow to release whenever I had to separate the trailer, I ended up replacing the valve on the air tank for the trailer, after I replaced all the issues went away. 

I did not look close so you are probably right, friend sent it to me to bust on me, he thought it was a Mack.....lol

Interesting picture I found, even Mack was into the hippy life style.

Sounds like a good old New York Rubbish turf war, don't think I would be pulling for any of those companies.

Little update on the barn, well you know how bad things come in three's, well they aren't kidding. Since my last post I have had a rough month with Mother Nature related to my real job as the grounds Superintendent for two 18 hole golf course, so at one I get a call they can't fill the detention pond to irrigate, I go over and sure enough we can't get water up to the pond, turns out the 10" main under the river cracked and all my water is in the river, fine we spend 4 days pulling a 4" HDPE pipe trough the old one and get it back up and ok, then this weekend severe storms toppled 8 lg trees at my other course, fine we work all day to get it playable for the members and all is ok.  I go home and just sat down and it starts to rain and thunder and then I here a loud crash, I go look out my back window and I see a tree laying through my roof trusses for the barn that they had payed out to errect on Monday. So now I sit and wait for new roof trusses to be made in PA and shipped up and meanwhile the errection crew has moved to another job. Mother Nature kicked my ass.
