  1. Nice R, and nice White 3000!
  2. Yes, and they're #4 pozidriv which is not an easy bit to find! I was able to get some from KC Tool.
  3. The only ones they had in fine thread were slotted. I also found a lot of allen heads, those two are worthless. I've had the best luck with phillips or torx when dealing with flat head bolts.
  4. My door hinge bolts were rusty and crusty, so I checked with Watts--not available any more. They are 5/16" NF phillips flat head, 3/4" long...I hunted all over the interwebs and could not find any fine thread. Lo and behold, after some phenagling I found out that '50s and '60s MG cars used the same bolts; I found some websites that sell MG parts and bought a set. They work perfect!
  5. Yeah, Gilley's was smokin' hot also! (The place burned down and there was some question about insure-and-burn).
  6. In the early 70's my dad was hauling paper rolls in 40' containers out of the St. Regis paper mill in Jacksonville FL with a '69 F model (day cab tandem, 237 and maxitorque). He took a curve too fast and the trailer went over; the container came loose on the front and twisted the container chassis almost 90 degrees. The 5th wheel stayed latched and the tractor didn't have a scratch on it. That chassis sure looked funny after they towed it back to the yard, the tandems were sitting flat on the ground and the landing gear was almost sideways.
  7. I know what you mean about cup issues...but I think they've been solved.
  8. Welcome! If you hang around very long you probably will end up buying an old Mack.
  9. The detail on some of those trucks is amazing...I always enjoy seeing these vehicles.
  10. The truck is looking great so far! Nothing like getting all the rust and crud cleaned off and a new coat of paint.
  11. That's what I don't miss...fuel jelling up in the primary filter, having to heat up the air dryer exhaust so it would stop leaking, pulling the main line off the compressor and pouring alcohol in it to melt the ice in the system. The worst was bringing a truck into the shop and laying underneath while it thawed...ice cold water with salt mixed in dripping on me.
  12. I'm stripping down my donor cab, getting ready to pull it and send it to the body shop. I removed the dog today, seems kind of symbolic to remove the dog from an old Mack truck. I'm looking forward to the day when I can put it back on.
  13. I like the stacks! Good-looking truck.
  14. Always saw photos of this truck, had no idea it was Cat powered. Is this the only 1693 powered H in the world?
  15. Dam nice photo! (sorry, couldn't resist.)
  16. I'm sorry to hear that your brother got hurt. Some photos of the R model would generate some interest in it.
  17. Those of us in central Ohio have no knowledge of snow like you NH guys do. Nice plow setup!
  18. That's true! I have a truck maintenance book that belonged to my grandfather in the 50's and it has a ton of details on rebuilding components that people wouldn't even consider these days.
  19. Thank you for the kind words! I really like your F model...my dad had 13 F models when I was a youngster.
  20. He is a professional artist, although drawing trucks is not his specialty...he does a lot of abstract and geometric designs. Thank you for the kind words!
  21. My son drew this as my Christmas present. You Aussies should appreciate it...at the bottom it says F786ST.
  22. Any idea what it sold for?
  23. That Mac is a nice-looking trailer.
  24. Merry Christmas everyone!
