  1. On a 1 ton Ford chassis. I'm always concerned when I see an open carburetor like that. Air cleaner!! https://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/d/mack-coe/6747577058.html
  2. Interesting to see the square grille--most of them have the angled sides.
  3. Pretty nice looking brochure on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mack-Model-AB-Chain-Drive-Truck-Catalog-No-105/352510561139?hash=item5213444b73:g:73MAAOSwn7Rb5Jce

  4. For $7,0000 you can have a truck that's ready to jump in and drive on the road. Trucks in this condition run in the $2,000 range.
  5. I like the round fendered ones too but the steel fenders look like they're ready to get into the dirt and get some work done.
  6. 120k!! Our roads are grooved enough from 80k, I can't imagine what that would do.
  7. That button must have been the differential lock. I don't think a truck as old as this one would have it (my '59 doesn't). The front drive has a power divider so both axles drive all the time.
  8. $40 seems good for such a nice old piece.
  9. I wish someone could explain to the yuppies that there's no reason to run driving lights when you're in the city with streetlights and lots of traffic. They blind oncoming drivers for no reason.
  10. Looks great! You must be a machinist or something like that. When I make stuff it's always a little raggedy jaggedy looking.
  11. Love that sound! In 1983, I worked in a concrete precast yard driving a '50s GMC with a V6 that said "GM Diesel" on the valve cover...I sure liked the sound of it!
  12. There are a lot of things Menard's carries that HD and Lowe's don't (i.e. subfloor screws, barn siding screws, polycarbonate panels) If I had one closer to me I would go more often.
  13. You need to remedy that oversight! Any movie that has Teri Garr and Ann Jillian in it...woah!
  14. When I worked in truck shops, I replaced hundreds of wheel bearings/races and never used locktite. I don't know that it would hurt anything but if your machined surfaces are in bad shape I'm not sure it would solve the problem. If your oil or grease are good and preload is correct, the race is not going to move.
  15. That was certainly a different time! Factories are nothing like that now.
  16. 220, 221...whatever it takes (classic Michael Keaton in Mr. Mom).

    Music

    Carole King is a giant of the music world...Tapestry stayed on the US album chart for more than 6 years.
  18. He had some trucks for sale recently on Craigslist.
  19. That's a pretty decent looking truck.
  20. Pretty rough for $8k...the frame looks cracked. More like $800.
  21. Yep, the license plate agrees with you.
  22. Stretching its legs a little! What motor do you think it has?
  23. You're right about not living there...it's beautiful country but give me the green hills of Ohio any day. I lived in Las Cruces for a year in the late 70s and enjoyed it but very glad to be back home. Lots of rust free vehicles out there! Great pictures, ed!
  24. I'd hate to see what it would cost to paint a fire truck all red...plus there would be a lot of work involved to cover the yellow.
