I like the 10.00-20s on the drives, and that red paint is shiny! Very nice!

SOLD

I have a pair of steps, a spare RH step, and an RH side skirt. The pair is actually pretty straight and rust-free, but the extra one is pretty bent. The skirt is bent, but not rusty. $100 or best offer, in central Ohio. PM me if interested.

I have a pair of doors, they have some rust and damage but they're solid and mostly complete. $100 or best offer for the pair, located in central Ohio. PM me if interested.

I went to Macungie in 2019, he had a lot of beautiful Macks there.

Excellent man thanks that’s what I wanted to hear that’s what I was trying to do today at least get a start on it … I really haven’t spent any time on it to brag about in 20 years of so  …. It always winds up back of the line finally today o had no other plans then it got  too hot too fast 105 right now thanks again for your input 

To quote Matthew Broderick, "That's Africa hot!"

I've never filled one of these caps before...it says to fill it up to the bead. I assume you fill the entire bottom cup? Once you get it up to the bead it starts to trickle over into the center area. It takes like 2 quarts to fill the whole thing!

I like the mouse poison block on your shop cart! SOP when you have a barn, old truck, old car, anything like that.

Thank you for the kind words guys!

I need some help.  I cannot figure out how to view my "DMs" either inbound or outbound,  what am I missing?

When you click on the 3rd button from the right at the top of the page, you can't see them?

Looks great! Do you have a trailer you're going to pull with it or just bobtail?

I was planning to get a period-correct trailer to pull, but I don't want to spend the time and money on something else (I have the Brockway for that).

 I hurried on up there 150 miles to claim the prize and left deflated. I am no expert, but it appeared to have been painted 10-20 yrs ago with red primer over the already rusting cab as an attempt to preserve it. It is a huge project for a deep pocketed true believer, and could it could be done. My old man had about 5 of these exact, I assume they were gas converted to diesel. In our back yard we played on them along with the sleeper Autocars for many years, and then my Mother demanded they be removed. At about 14yo, in 1969,  I was told to cut them up, and I did with an elderly worker holding the water hose. The gas engines / blocks lingered on for a while lying about. The A -model, H-model, and the others are a bit better shape. I did not even try to view the LJ engine since there was no way for me. The interior is extremely rusty and beyond anything useful. I think they are a collection of an old time truck man that never could find a way to restore....I exited quickly to hide my tears without conversing....I thought I had found my white whale. 

It's really sad when a truck gets that rusty...sometimes it can't be helped but other times they're just neglected when they should be fixed or sold.

Jerry Howard ran a trucking outfit, and Howard Historical Trucking (I think that was all show trucks, not freight haulers) in Enon Ohio. He had a lot of old trucks and a shop to restore them. I went to a truck show there a few years back, sadly Jerry has since passed away. He hauled my H67 back from Longmont Colorado for me.

...My mistake, they were in Fairborn (near Enon).

is that the one with the 2 dogs on the cowling?

That is the "double dog" truck; according to this video on Youtube it belonged to Benny Whitehead. Apparently he passed away so probably an estate sale.

This guy in Tennessee has an old LJ(?) with a sleeper, that's a rare truck. The ad is a couple of months old so I don't know if it's still available. No price on the trucks.

Wow hell I didn’t know that thing was anywhere near ready to drive. Nice going bud. Thanks for the cool video. Is there a Brockway sitting out there?

Yes, it's a 1970 361. That will be next after I finish up the H67.
