you might want to put a pressure regulator on it then or it might blow the sides of the transmission out.

I found it! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1939-Mack-BM-/270790306424?_trksid=p4506.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1869933027831115282

That's right, I forgot about that! I got a new '85 cabover KW and that was the year they moved the shift lever up on the dog house. It worked by cables instead of a shaft and thegearshift was real short and hard to shift. I had one of the old type range selector valves so I put a 4 or 6'' extension on the gear shift, old type shift knob- one of those in the mixer now- attached the range selector valve with hose clamps, then found the air lines were bigger. I ended up getting it to work but I don't remember what I did, knowing me it probably involved bubble gum, silicone, duct tape, paper clips,etc. -probably not the way you'd want to go! Never had any problems with it though. This was a 9 speed, not a 13. I do still have an old range selector or 2, but you'd need an old type 13 speed knob for the splitter.

Oh, I was looking on Firefox. Thanks Barry.

I'm still looking for that compatibility button...

We use Rotella at work ,change it at 20,000 miles.

oh...so those guys cooking hot dogs on fishing poles might be a little too close to that dish and end up cooking themselves.

actually, I have no idea what klyston or cling ons are, but I do have a shoe box with old baseball cards from the '60's.

Amen brother. (Bulldogman)

klystron? I got a shoe box full off that, can't give it away.

hmmmm...tough choice...I like the stainless version, but i'm staying with blue!

Great Barry, i'll check out this new stainless ,but I liked the old blue.

Yep, this 1800 Loadstar cab looks identical, front end's different. You're right, this 2000D is it I believe. The Fleetstar picture at the top is a newer model I think.

Hmmmm....must be the new! I tried posting the picture myself and when I did all of Rowdy's original pictures came in- before it was just a blank box with a red X in it.

Wow, glad you weren't hurt any worse, but that was bad enough! Probably the worst place to be, just getting up. I can't- or won't, I should say- run double either. Otis and myself ran double to Homestead, Fl. a few years ago and I probably slept a couple hours during the whole trip. If I ever did doze off, the first time we hit a bump i'd be wide awake.

I'm gonna turn this picture over.

OK, thanks Rowdy- still couldn't see the picture but the link worked fine. That's strange- when I reply, I see the picture, but can't see it in the original post.

Rob's been out standing in the radar field for years.

Yeah, i'm off this week, back at it Monday. I was ready to go back to work after a day, now the week's flying by! Interior looks like this, got Mack floor mats with bulldogs on them.

Not a bad idea- who knows when you won't be able to get it anymore.

I can't see the first picture. You're not expecting trouble are you? If you are i'll bring my 30-06, my 12 gauge, and my snubnose .38. I'll just leave the .22 rifle here. All the shells I buy for the 12 gauge is no. 4 buckshot, 3" magnums- it's a 36 in. barrell with full choke.

I don't, it's licensed and insured as an antique vehicle and can't be used as a working truck. When I bought it had been gone through and refurbished and was ready to be put back in service hauling concrete. Then the ready mix company was sold, and the new owners didn't want to run equipment that old so they sold all the B-models. I bought it from one of the former owners who had retired and kept this truck for himself.

it is, but don't tell anyone- it's disguised as a grill.

hey James, you're blurry too, get a cup of coffee.

I ordered 5 new cab lights from Watt's Mack last week. They came in a few days and I put them on yesterday. Good looking lights! I took the old rusty ones off and put one of the new ones on and thought they were the wrong lights at first because the bulb was towards the rear and the chrome part faced front. So I put them back in the box to send them back, then I gave Barry a call and told him I needed the ones with the bulb on the other end of the light. He said to just turn them around and the bulb would be in the front, so I did and they worked fine. They fit perfectly and covered where the old lights were exactly, just had to drill new holes, but that's good, you don't want to be using old holes anyway. Crappy old lights- shiny new lights- Then I came home and started slapping up a crude roof over the grill...yes, I know it's not up to code. I didn't buy any of it, it's made of posts and lumber I "accumulated" and had laying around. Got an old plastic tarp on it now, all I need is a couple of roof panels and i'm good.
