  1. I like that GMC pickup too.
  2. Yeah, that frame looks pretty crusty.
  3. I've seen later model Mack letters and emblems that were plastic, I don't know about Econodyne ones specifically.
  4. The ad says this truck has never been used...looks super nice, but that price tag is somebody's dream (or nightmare!). https://www.ebay.com/itm/2001-Mack-Fire-Truck-Model-9/232796838250?hash=item3633c5d96a:g:YYwAAOSw5PJbGEjn&autorefresh=true
  5. It's a terrible thing to think about all those lives lost and what freedom cost.
  6. I've used Toyota FIPG (form in place gasket) on several things that I didn't have a gasket for; I've never had them leak yet. It doesn't smell like RTV but it definitely has some silicone in it.
  7. For all you Ford fans out there...from the description, it sounds like a decent truck. https://columbus.craigslist.org/hvo/d/1978-ford-9000/6609429072.html
  8. Recasting your wheel at home sounds like a job that requires adult supervision.
  9. We were coming back from vacation in Florida, stayed south of Lexington Saturday night. When we got on 75 Sunday morning and saw some nice old trucks on the highway, I gave myself such a dopeslap for missing the show. Freightrain and Farmer52, you got that right about I-71. From Apalachicola Florida to Columbus that was the absolute worst road we saw.
  10. That stinks, jack2052. I wish it would have turned out better.

    B model parts

    Does that mean he parked the truck and then ran?
  12. Looks like that was the king of the highway in the 30's.
  13. How much weight in batteries would you have to have to run 500 miles in an 80,000 lb. truck, running 70 mph and up and down mountains? I can't see that working.
  14. What if you used a schematic from a Mack of that era? I've seen one on BMT before.
  15. I bought my chainfall from Jeg's as well as some other tools and parts. They have good prices and good service.
  16. Looks great! Probably no way to stack the turns and brakes on top of each other?
  17. What are you going to pull with that winch?
  18. That looks like brain surgery right there. You showed the outdoor light but you didn't show the switch for it.
  19. I hope he had a big gas tank for that V12!
  20. That's funny...why waste the money on that when the passenger doesn't need to see the road?
  21. Yes...the chassis and powertrain are GM.
  22. The rear rims look quite different too...the 20's are flat and smooth, the 22.5s are sculptured.
  23. The truck would look period-correct with 20" rims and tube-type tires, but 22.5 tubeless are way more common now and they ride much better. Way easier to repair also.
