    I remember seeing a photo of a Sears store with a kit house built inside the store.

    I went to put the front leaf springs on, since there's no weight on the chassis the springs won't squat down enough to line up the ends with the mounts. As you can see, the rubber insulator is cocked at an angle because of this. I'm used to working on springs that have shackles so they will swivel to line up. I even tried the old spring, it's the same way. Has anybody put front springs on that can give me some tips? When I put the engine in will the rubber settle into the right position?

    I was at a junkyard back in about 1981, a guy walked in with a driveshaft off a Dodge Dart that was bent in an "L" shape. The counter guy said "put a little too much torque to her, did ya?". He said he was driving along and the front u-joint let go, the shaft speared into the blacktop.

    Definitely better than on the freeway!! I was at the Howard Truck show in Fairborn OH a few years ago; Jerry had a nice Mack, believe it was an L model. The bumper and left front fender were missing, he said the pitman shaft sheared off on the interstate and took the driver into the median cables. Lucky for him the cables were there!

    Too modern for an H, don't know where a vertical radio would fit in them. I agree with the guys... it looks like the units I've seen in R, U, DM.

    Call John Chalmers at 717-334-8709 (let it ring 10 or 12 times). He sells door handles that look like that and he can probably tell you if they will fit your truck.

    I bought one years ago and it fit my H67, if you find one for an H it might fit your truck.

    Would that be the same as the red they used on chassis? I'll paint my chassis Mack red, I haven't looked up the paint code yet (I'm using Axalta/Dupont).

    The value would depend a lot on whether you can jump in the truck and drive it or if it needs some repairs to make it roadworthy.

    That's probably a Bendix E-6 treadle valve, you should be able to take it to a truck parts place and have them match it up. One caution is that you could have a maxi brake can with a shaft seal leaking that will cause air to leak back through this valve.

    Thanks Ed! I called Kevin and he does have more. They are old pieces, I bet they will last longer than the poor quality materials they use today.

    If you could post a picture of the valve we may be able to help.

    Door handle

    h67st posted a topic in Parts for Sale

    Saw this on ebay, looks like a handle for R and F models. NOS...$30 plus shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Handle-for-MACK-55QS32-NEW-OEM-NOS/392871975428?epid=7012716460&hash=item5b78fe9a04:g:WboAAOSwWuJfDMtf

    34's and 38's refer to... uh... yeah, the rear axles. That's it, the rear axles.
  16. h67st
    Looks to be in decent shape! Good catch.
  17. h67st
    Is that a triplex? My TRD720 (9 speed OD) has one lever in the top cover and the hi-low shaft on the right rear like this photo, but I see this one has two levers in the top cover.

    I saw him in concert a couple of times, I remember after he "played the fiddle hard" some of the bow strings would be broken and hanging down.

    It's 1-3/4". Where can I get those? I will have to check with PAI, my dealer said they're not available right now. I can't believe they want $57 for those stupid things!

    Does anyone know where I can get boots for the drag link? These are the old ones; round ones like on the tie rod ends won't work because the openings are elongated.

    I found this old photo while digging through some old stuff, the truck was for sale in Loudonville Ohio back in 1994. It had a flathead gas engine, owner said it used to be a concrete mixer. I'm glad I didn't buy it, I found my H model about a year later.
  22. h67st
    I don't remember ever seeing one before.
  23. h67st
    That one reminds me of Rob's water wagon.

    The clutches I worked on in the 80s and 90s had an adjustment on the clutch brake, did you look at that? They had a bolt-in tab that you would remove and then use a pry bar to rotate a threaded collar inside the pressure plate. I believe the spec on those was 1/2" between the clutch brake and throwout bearing.

    The ad says the motor still runs! Crazy looking motor. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/246836616769080/
