    Looks to be in good shape for 189k. From past experience, if someone takes good care of the body and interior, then that bodes well for maintenance also.

    Same here; we changed hundreds of tube-type tires back in the 80's, never had one come apart on us.

    On ebay, they're asking $15,000. Looks really clean; it says 300 Cummins with 8LL trans. and 56k rears. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1980-WHITE-GMC-AUTOCAR-DM-SEMI-ROAD-TRACTOR-131K-Miles/114681228677?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

    I found Zoro.com is a good place to get radiator hoses; this Gates 2-1/4" rubber hose was $45. They also carry Parker nylon line and fittings at good prices and they only charge $5.00 for shipping. I found HoseWarehouse.com carries a lot of Aeroquip line and fittings at good prices and you can buy any length, not just the entire roll. I bought these lines & fittings for my Luberfiner and fuel pump oil line. I don't think Zoro will sell cut pieces.

    There was a thread about welding the center back into a rim and we were discussing split rims, for some reason I can't find it. This split rim is on my truck--the lock ring is solid, and you pry the rim open to get the lock ring off. I don't know how safe these are, but I won't be using it when I put good tires on my truck.

    Do you get any snow there Bob? With a name like Sun Valley, it doesn't sound like it.

    What part of Ohio are you in? I'm in Johnstown...a lot of the farmers in my neighborhood have R models and Superliners, but no U models.

    On ebay...the ad says it has a 400 Mack with Jake, new Maxitorque trans, 58k rears, new 5th wheel and new tires. Looks pretty nice; starting bid $35,000. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2001-Mack-RD-RD600/293994939547?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D1c23a1d0ef604885ad7f293aacee3f76%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D284176698142%26itm%3D293994939547%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A8462a5f0-6a44-11eb-a3d8-16e695f2d528|parentrq%3A83226d911770a9c511427410fffffa2c|iid%3A1

    Concave cab!
  11. h67st
    Should look like this.

    I may be selling some parts, but at this rate it will be a couple of years before I finish this thing.

    Here's the "before" picture of the tandem.
  14. h67st
    Actually the Smith truck is just a parts truck; I'm using the frame rails and rear bogie from a tandem and the cab, engine, and other parts from a single axle that I have. The color I picked is a teal blue. I think the Smith is number 160...it's got more rust than steel in the cab. I'm using the front axle, transmission, and some other parts from it.
  15. h67st
    Good question. I'm not sure how accurate this color is, I think it's just an eyeball match.
  16. h67st
    It is a very greenish color, the blue is just because of the camera.

    Ad on ATHS back lot, the guy has an NOS back panel for $1,000. https://aths.org/backlot/18349/mack-parts-2/minnesota/usa/parts/

    If you have the old drums, you could look to see if there are numbers on them--that would make it easier to find. I had the old shoes on my front axle relined at a local brake shop.

    Stupid Gout

    h67st replied to other dog's topic in Odds and Ends

    You can definitely get gout in your knees. Bad news: drinking beer makes you more likely to get it...I know you don't want to hear that Otherdog.

    Oooooo, I'm drivin' my wife away!!

    I've run a lot of used tires, never had one blow. Like Alex said if they're not too old, should be good.

    It was 43 years ago today! I was 14 years old, living in Sandusky county (about 30 min. south of Toledo). We didn't have power for several days, and of course our house was all electric so we had to stay with a neighbor until they got our electric back on. We didn't have school for a week or two, and then had to have split sessions at the junior high because the pipes froze and burst in the high school. This photo is from the Mansfield News Journal; truck driver James Truly was stuck in his cab for almost 5 days until the National Guard rescued him.

    That's cool...you have a seat out of an H model!
  24. h67st
    Are you serious...$1,126.00?

    Interesting looking sleeper. That was a fine truck in it's day!
