  1. It's a...um....is there a car in that picture?
  2. They have a simulator, one of the modern conventionals (GU?). Nicola Bulgari is a benefactor of the museum; he has 7 warehouses in Allentown with 125 cars in them. Some of his cars are on display at the museum.
  3. We were in Allentown on Friday, unfortunately we couldn't stay for Trucktoberfest and the Mack museum was closed on Friday. We went to the America on Wheels museum; they have some really nice Macks and Mack memorabilia. They have a lot of cars and motorcycles...I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area. The placard for this F model said it has around 2 million miles on it. Really nice B model: Exceptionally nice B model: Maxidyne! The certificate for this gold-plated First Gear model says it's one of only 4 made. We also went to the Merchants Square model railway exhibit. They say they have 18,000 feet of track...you can't count how many motorized carnival rides, cars, etc. there are. There's a movie playing on the drive-in screen and skiers going down a slope. They even have lightning, thunder, and rain!
  4. We never did figure out what that flat exhaust tip is for on the yellow West Chester fire truck from October 9th.
  5. Thumbs up for Hank Jr., but no so for Kid Rock.
  6. So it's got 9 good tires on it?
  7. I think he's living a comfortable retirement...he sang on the tribute show for Johnny Cash after Johnny passed. Every time Kawliga or Family Tradition comes on the radio, I have to crank it up.
  8. Great photos! That red tandem B sure has a strange-looking cab on it.
  9. This looks almost like a new truck...someone did a fantastic restoration on it. The engine looks kinda close to Alpine Green, though... https://www.ebay.com/itm/mack-r600/133201181336?hash=item1f0368ba98:g:OsUAAOSw3DpdokU3
  10. We were coming thru Canterbury CT on vacation and the Google said "Haul of Fame Museum" so I pulled into the lot. No one was around and the last I heard the museum is closed so I took some photos of what was parked outside. It's a shame to see the weeds and rust taking over some of these trucks.

    Horn cover

    If you go on ebay and search for "Mack horn button" these plates come up a lot--you may have to keep checking for a few weeks but they show up regularly.
  12. The poor guy's driving a Shaker and you just pick on him! Tsk tsk. Michael, have you checked for power at the light bulb sockets? If you don't have any front or rear lights your turn signal switch could be bad.
  13. It looks like it's been well taken care of. So many trucks this age are parked in the weeds with mouse nests everywhere.
  14. Of course, Tyrone Malone's classic with wide whites.
  15. Jerry and his group are a great bunch of guys...looks like a nice show!
  16. The flange where the carrier sits on the housing is welded into the housing...I guess it's steel so the threads are strong enough, but the housing is cast iron. The factory didn't get a good weld in one spot so it was leaking gear lube through the missed weld.
  17. Also spray some WD40 or better lube on the jaws before trying the above methods.
  18. I've been trying to get someone to do some welding on my rails and one axle housing, finally got someone to say bring them in. It sure is a slow process to get all the different things taken care of before I can begin reassembly.
  19. Looks like a nice truck....$25k. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1985-Mack-Roll-Back/193105746413?hash=item2cf5ffd9ed:g:TVIAAOSwMSZdf5tU&autorefresh=true
  20. Tom, how much did they charge to do your brake reline?
  21. What a cool place! Can you imagine working on old stuff like that for a living?
  22. Looks pretty nice for $14k.
  23. Where did you get your clutch rebuilt?
