For a running, driving H63 you shouldn't have much trouble getting that price. Usually these are rusted to bits or else restored and muy dinero (Herb Tarlek,WKRP in Cincinnati).

I don't think I've ever seen NOS fenders for sale, bid starts at $1,500 but if you're doing a full restoration that would be reasonable. https://www.ebay.com/itm/126594812155?itmmeta=01J473AZT2JCJP609PRFH0393A&hash=item1d79a388fb:g:B6IAAOSwEz9mc0rH

That's probably the worst tire I've seen in my life. -
Fantastic!
-
If they replaced the quick release because it was leaking, it's probably a shaft seal on one of the maxi chambers.

Pretty neat model, almost 3 feet long. Not sure I'd pay $5 grand for it though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/387240342533?itmmeta=01J3VBPEXTAWG2QRYXKMEKNEK6&hash=item5a2952b405:g:zw4AAOSwxHNmpGUu&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwHWavfU%2BXcU8vYWBHj46Zsb3pNoCOl9%2BQYQ9409ND2LUvc0QSt4M2Udqpiz5B6xKr7UaspEKZZlvSPaxI4yn1nhrFVBZstx1%2FS2sBvQdatOuTKrh%2BbAx8IUHY1Em9JLvC0vR6D%2BXLWdDDXtKO%2BFgO9Mm8h19epAnTnz81CPSBpIHyE4trLXwCXIFkNMt3Yotv72NrjKMO8jfkUwuoxb3ivE9zRuatVNWzM1%2B8ojlF1NLXODTW4TcSlUJXLBWNUhUFw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5Lv2eueZA

One thing I've done in the past is to bring the machine outside and wash it, then take pictures in the sunlight. If people see it cleaned up they may be more interested.

I haven't seen many FL700L's in that nice condition, you've got a real nice truck there. Having a nice straight factory bumper is super rare! When I worked on trucks, they always made us put a chain on the cab if we were taking it over center. We never had one try to let go, but I know it happens (like yours).
-
Maybe the rust is antique so it's more valuable than regular rust.

I need to hire those guys...I've had an H67 for sale at $1,500 and it's in better shape than that one. No buyers yet.

If those old steers are cracked, I would definitely go with 22.5. -

Mack 400 red crosses over to Axalta 77968 (they can also mix Nason to this number). PPG code is 70094. -
ENDT 673 fuel filter bracket woes
h67st replied to skydawg's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
You can't pull the pump with the radiator in? On my H model you can. Some trucks you can unbolt the fan shroud (if you have one) and lay it back on the front of the engine which makes it easier to pull the fan/pump. -
In the old days of trailers using air pressure to hold the single-stage chambers as a parking brake, when we would hook to a trailer with no air and charge the parking gladhand, the parking brake would set momentarily until the trailer tank got enough air in it. A lot of our drivers almost got into trouble thinking that they would stay set but then they released. My dad had some old trucks in the early 70's, he had his mechanic convert them to spring brakes but there was a steep learning curve after that. Me and my dad stopped at a truck stop in 1975 somewhere around Kentucky that had a steep parking lot; we got out and headed up the hill to get lunch. When we got to the building, there was this old guy sweeping the drive and he said, "Mister, your truck's rolling away". My dad ran after it but the trailer jackknifed and thankfully the landing gear leg hit the fuel tank so the cab didn't get smashed. After that my dad made sure to set both buttons when he got out!

Choppy throttle when cruising
h67st replied to Freightrain's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I've heard other Macks with that chop. My H model will do that and I have to let up/push down to smooth it out, but that doesn't always get rid of it. I wish I had an answer for you. -
If you're just going to bobtail or run light, you can install 2024 chambers on a lot of these old trucks. My H model has the SWDL56 (IIRC) rear bogie; it used to have rotochambers next to the frame rail: I "clocked" them one bolt hole to get the chambers below the frame rail. The chambers are very close to the rims because I have 10:00-20 tires; if you are running 22.5 or if you have 22" hubs then this won't be an issue.

Finally some DM progress
h67st replied to mowerman's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
"made a but couple"? I'm not going to ask. -
This one's in really tough shape. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2274492759576675/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_general&referral_story_type=general&tracking={"qid"%3A"-1704971652378521177"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"6020838158107090201"%2C"top_level_post_id"%3A"6020838158107090201"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A6020838158107090201%2C\"target_type\"%3A6%2C\"primary_position\"%3A13%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A4756302300322658839%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A501%2C\"value\"%3A0.0001567341327757%2C\"upsell_type\"%3A3523%2C\"candidate_retrieval_source_map\"%3A{\"7210349879000622\"%3A701%2C\"8129131950512790\"%3A701}%2C\"grouping_info\"%3Anull}"%2C"lightning_feed_qid"%3A"-1704986495847326254"%2C"lightning_feed_ranking_signature"%3A"4756302300322658839"}

That's a straight-looking truck, and looks like it's all there. Really sunk in the ground!

This looks like a pretty nice truck. That bed looks custom made...nice work! https://www.ebay.com/itm/126554516892?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m5057.l9429&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=7a7158e49feb41eb9207c721fe372ac5&bu=43215750242&ut=RU&osub=-1~1&crd=20240701053335&segname=11021

I pulled the front wheels to look over the brakes and hub; needs some new stuff. I only found one place that had new shoes (https://www.truckandtrailer.parts/) so I ordered them, unfortunately they were unlined. I called the shop here in Columbus that relined my Mack shoes; they quit doing that. I went online and found Brake Materials and Parts in Ft. Wayne Indiana; I handed them to UPS on Friday and got them back on Tuesday. Does anyone know why they ever made wedge brakes? This photo doesn't include 2 chambers, wedges, rollers, housings, and seals. S-cams are a heck of a lot simpler, and if I had to replace much hardware these would get expensive real fast.

You've got a 1693 in that IH? I don't know if I've ever seen one a those.

Cab looks to be pretty solid, has an E6-350. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/823941403032480/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_general&referral_story_type=general&tracking={"qid"%3A"-1799600433170433517"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"1087828565745631468"%2C"top_level_post_id"%3A"1087828565745631468"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A1087828565745631468%2C\"target_type\"%3A6%2C\"primary_position\"%3A40%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A7251196637122624354%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A501%2C\"value\"%3A0.00015123330057553%2C\"upsell_type\"%3A129%2C\"candidate_retrieval_source_map\"%3A{\"25668210762793668\"%3A3001%2C\"7985911711494952\"%3A3021%2C\"26350327267884871\"%3A3050%2C\"8031292973572161\"%3A3001%2C\"8070394382985080\"%3A3001%2C\"7558234714295067\"%3A3007}%2C\"grouping_info\"%3Anull}"%2C"lightning_feed_qid"%3A"-1799819236271599135"%2C"lightning_feed_ranking_signature"%3A"7251196637122624354"}

Those twin stacks are neat--I'll bet the turbine can breath with them being so large.
