  1. I finally got the fifth wheel mounting figured out, I took videos of some of the work.
  2. Phone 813-777-2961, email mactrucknut@aol.com .
  3. The guys at Rome are top shelf...they hooked me up with everything I needed for my truck at very good prices.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Judging by the photos, it looks like a nice truck. Too bad it's not a twin screw.
  7. You hit the motherlode of NOS parts! It's really looking good.
  8. 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.
  9. I started looking things over to see if it will run and found the intake pipe missing a clamp, allowed rain water to go into the turbo. Fortunately the shaft still spins free, but I want to pull the housing off to see what is lurking inside. A great example of something simple like a clamp causing bigger problems. The engine tag says it's a 335.
  10. I can't even remember the last time I saw a truck that old running up and down the road making money. I wish I saw more of them!
  11. One fine looking truck!
  12. I was back up there and snapped a couple of engine photos.
  13. Well, it's home now. We loaded it Saturday and brought it down.
  14. To find my wheel seals, I went online and you can look at an SKF (CR) wheel seal catalog, they have dimensions in there so you can measure your old seal and match it up. Once you get the SKF number you can cross it over to whatever brand you want.

    Wikipedia says, "In 1940 the US Army ordered 700 Mack 4 x 4 truck tractors, intended to tow pontoon-carrying semi-trailers. 694 were delivered in 1941 and the last 6 in 1942. An Autocar design was standardized by the US Army and only 700 NJUs were built." Since this is a '41, it could be ex-WWII Army truck.

    Something you don't see every day. It's in Taylorsville KY, asking $5,500. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1748584945484045/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A412731f7-56c2-4202-a28c-8d7023db5614
  17. Can you tell because there's no tip turbine?
  18. 🙃
  19. I'm with Joey...make sure both the air side and inside of the radiator are clean. He's got some good ideas about the water pump, tstat, etc.
  20. The guy that sold me the Brockway also has this White for sale--$2,500. It looks very complete and not in too bad shape; it's been sitting for about 6 years. The owner passed away so no background info and no title. I will be up there on July 22 if anyone wants me to look at particulars. PM me if you are interested in buying (note that says interested in buying).
  21. That neon on the back is pretty cool.
  22. I'm with mechohaulic...try a good battery. Clean up the contacts on the rotors and caps; if you have spark from the coil and good condenser then old cap/rotor will work.
  23. On mine (1959), you turn it counterclockwise about an inch and then lift up. It ain't easy to do, sometimes you have to get creative.
  24. Well, perhaps against my better judgment I'm adding another truck to the stable. This truck doesn't have much rust and it's very complete so I couldn't pass it up. I'm assuming it's a 361TL, can any of you Brockway guys verify that? It's got a Cummins with compression release so possibly a 250. I probably won't do much with it until I get my Mack finished.
