    I used my steam cleaner to blast the paint off some of the interior panels today, worked great. The factory paint mostly stayed so I'll sand it and paint over it.

    In this month's Double Clutch, Matt Pfahl says he has 9 guys working in an 80' x 100' garage.

    Yes, and Ralph Smith trucks were well-maintained. I have one for parts (cab rusted out); I'm using the radiator, front axle, transmission, fifth wheel, and some small parts off of it. Good maintenance kept these parts in good shape.

    Yes, there's something very cool about seeing trucks that still wear their work clothes. It reminds me of how things used to be.

    Do you have a photo of your H on here? I'd like to see it.

    Flat, smooth piece of metal or wood--cover up the air intake and it'll shut down.

    Here's the link: https://www.overdriveonline.com/page/2022-pp-voting I voted for you, there's also a B model competing in some of the other categories--I voted for him there.

    I found these photos on the interwebs, says this truck was hauling a 331,000 lb. press and the trailer failed. They weren't sure how they were going to move the thing out of the way. Nashville, Michigan Sep. 6th.

    Looks like Craig Horn's truck out of Barto PA.

    You could check with the Mack Museum (610-351-8999); they have a lot of information. If they help, make sure you donate some money to the museum. You could also watch ebay; a lot of Mack manuals show up on there.

    I worked at a shoe company in the 80's and we were still running trailers with no maxis. We had a few roll away from the dock because the spotter got lazy and didn't chock the wheels (air leak = no brakes).

    You're right...your hubs are 24" in diameter, 24.5" tubeless are 22" diameter. The tires are 24.5" inner diameter but they have a flange on the rim that reduces them to 22" hubs.

    What engine do you have?

    I've seen a bunch of trucks with u-bolt mounting that had blocks of steel welded to the frame rail flange to keep the thing from moving back and forth. Of course, they shouldn't be welding on that flange.

    It's funny...the cab doesn't look that bad in the "before" photo but I know you had to cut out a lot of rust and damage to rebuild it. Same way with my truck, bondo covered many sins.

    So they don't want the fifth wheel sitting directly on the frame rail? I wonder why that is.
  17. h67st
    I finally got the fifth wheel mounting figured out, I took videos of some of the work.
  18. h67st
    Good question...I don't know.

    The guys at Rome are top shelf...they hooked me up with everything I needed for my truck at very good prices.

    When they make pipe fittings, they don't size the hex to a certain wrench...they figure you will use a pipe wrench or crescent anyway.
  22. h67st
    Those are definitely rare, but that one's pretty rusty for $18,000. I've never seen a fifth wheel that has ears that rest on the frame rails like that.
  23. h67st
    Judging by the photos, it looks like a nice truck. Too bad it's not a twin screw.
  24. h67st
    You hit the motherlode of NOS parts! It's really looking good.

    A guy named "Cam" on the ATHS forum says that the NHRS6B is a supercharged 743 cid engine, but supposedly they quit putting them in trucks in the '60s so maybe not the right engine code for this truck. If it's a '79 it should have an 855 Cummins.
