  1. Very nice! I see the cat is on the ground and nut under the hood. ;-)_
  2. Surprising! I figured Fram would be better quality than that.
  3. I need to get a set of the top seals (under the clamp area) for my 673--I have the copper seals. Is Mack the best place to go for these? Does anyone know the part number?
  4. That thing is hideous...I love it!
  5. In 1981, I was living in Miami FL...I bought a '68 Charger that had been down there all its life. In the early 90's the urge to finally buy my own Mack took over so I sold the Charger. I miss that car but I'd rather have my H67.
  6. I heard that they don't want black kittens because occult worshipers use them in sacrifice rituals. They'll adopt them and say they will take care of them but then use them in these rituals.
  7. I went all through the brakes on my '79 K2500 and bought all AC Delco parts from rockauto.com. Some of them were from China and Mexico but I'm used to AC parts being pretty good. The parts cost me way less than store brand parts from AZ or Advance. We usually buy calipers from the local stores simply because we need them right away...they usually last a year or two. I've been buying from Rock Auto for several years and I've been really happy with them.
  8. Someone needs to spend a day with a steam cleaner on that motor.
  9. The shaft doesn't have any support except for the u-joints...it has to be able to move around when the cab/frame flexes. If the slip joint has any slop it will have to be rebuilt or replaced (twisting slop, not in-and-out).
  10. Nice Superliner! Welcome to the site.
  11. It sounds like the inter axle would die early using that third speed. My dad had an Astro in the early 70's with the diff lock switch on the dash; they always said never leave that locked on dry roads or bad things would happen.
  12. Sad to hear about the situation with your dad...my wife's dad took off when she was 9 years old and I saw how that affected her.

    LTL9000

    Truck is in Rehoboth MA. https://www.ebay.com/itm/89-Ford-LTL-9000/192448417305?hash=item2cced1ce19:g:lLEAAOSweLBaeQda&vxp=mtr
  14. Here's a lowboy that belonged to my grandfather's company; picture was taken in the 1940's. Is this a Rogers? Has an interesting looking fifth wheel on it.
  15. Do you have any photos of those H or G models? That's some great history you're talking about there.
  16. That sheet metal looks nice and straight...two thumbs up!
  17. It looks good in the photos! Is it very rusty underneath?
  18. Don't force it, get a bigger hammer!
  19. Today I got the cab tilt bar off my donor truck. The bushings were still good, so I didn't want to destroy them. The issue was, they were seized to the bar. I tried soaking with PB and beating on the bar, no good. I tried my trusty H bar with bearing splitter, but it just didn't have enough umph (those things are SEIZED!). So I took some 5/8" grade 8 all-thread and some pieces of angle iron and made a puller. I used my 12 ton bottle jack and I really had to crank on the jack and beat the bar with a drift before they would pop loose.
  20. I left Cat in 1999, but at that time we could turn the key to "on" with engine off, and hold the cruise control switch in the "set" or "resume" position (I forget which) and the light would flash a number of times. Watch for the gap, such as 2 flashes, gap, 4 flashes, would be code 24. I don't know if this will work on a 2007 truck.
  21. This one's on ebay, says the truck is from Georgia so it may not be very rusty. It says B67, did they make B67's with the hard nose like that? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1963-B67-Mack/152888004860?hash=item2398d5d0fc:g:yxAAAOSwM91acUe8&vxp=mtr
  22. I feel for you on the parts stores. I live in central Ohio and we probably have 100 parts stores within a 30 minute radius from my house, I'm really spoiled when it comes to that. You have to know what you're looking for, most of the countermen don't know what's behind them.

    Musings

    My health insurance bill is now about double what it was before Obamacare kicked in. Yay!
  24. That is a wild looking trailer.
