    Yeah, I'll be way past the window, but I can scuff it and shoot another coat of primer when it's time to top coat. My goal here was to get them blasted before I rebuild them and put the primer on to slow down the rust.

    I wanted to get the transmission and differentials blasted clean before I rebuild them so I wouldn't be doing that with new seals and such. Yesterday I had a guy come out and blast them (he used crushed glass; it did a great job and left less mess than sand) and then I put on a coat of primer. I used a Devilbiss FLG4 HVLP gun and Nason epoxy primer; I'm no body man but it was easy to use and went on really nice. It's great to see something look good after dealing with so much rust, grease, and crud.

    That thing is huge! I wonder what it weighs with that load on it.

    I know I've probably posted it on here before, but the LTL is my favorite Mack. The only place I've ever seen one here in Ohio is at a truck show.

    They need to figure out a transplant method, I'd be willing to donate some of the rust from my old trucks.

    An old Mack still doing the job!

    We spent a few nights at Hawk's Nest and rode the cable car down to the river...it's a real nice place.

    I went over to check out the progress on my cab the other day; he's really moving along. As you can see in the pics, he's replacing all of the lower sheet metal (including the lower door skins and the luggage door skins). I didn't think it would be necessary, but he said it costs the same and gives a better result. He's even building new fenders for it, I'm interested to see how those turn out. He wants to line the inside of the fenders with rhino liner or lizard skin, what do you guys think...is that a good idea?

    That one looks like it's a working truck but very well-kept.

    I remember seeing them on the road when I was growing up, of course not nearly as many as B models or some other trucks. This is one of my grandfather's trucks, I think he just had one 3000. The photo was taken sometime in the 50's but no date on it.

    That lil' red (orange?) wagon is very nice...looks like a first-class conversion.

    The little lady is smiling...that's a good sign!

    A lot of guys will run a hose into a 5 gallon can and strap it behind the cab just to get the engine running and test it.

    I'm not sure it would fix your problem, but you could save them on your computer and then try to load.

    I get it...semi retirement!!!
  16. h67st
    Do you have them saved on your computer?
  17. h67st
    Definitely possible. It may not have been the driver's fault; could have been a combination of things.
  18. h67st
    Yeah, I think there's more to the story than just a blown tire. This is a terrible situation for all those involved.
  19. h67st
    Jim is right...did you save the pics on your computer first?

    I've seen a lot of mods made to truck wiring over the years...it's usually more of a trucker than an electrician that cuts into them!

    I like the wheelbase...just long enough. What does the SX signify?
  22. h67st
    There doesn't appear to be much rust on it...that would be an excellent project.
  23. h67st
    I like how you hold that left front wheel off the ground until you let off the throttle...nice pull!
  24. h67st
    Those black fenders sure look nice...I'll bet hobert62 will like that one.

    I'd have smashed one of my toes off by now if I didn't have boots on. Many jobs I've been to require boots.
