Yeah, I like skirts myself. -
Early '80s 3406b was a good motor...if it's been maintained, it should be a nice engine.
-
Yes, I've lived in Johnstown Ohio for the past 25 years. The humidity was so bad today my shirt was dripping with sweat. Last month we spent a week in St. Lucia which is almost as far south as Venezuela and the humidity wasn't nearly as bad.

Is that a Hendrickson walking beam? How do they ride--smooth or not?
-
Looks like a hot day, but very low humidity makes it comfortable. I lived in Las Cruces for a year; I liked it a lot. Of course now with global warming, it's probably hotter than back in those days. Or is it global cooling? I keep forgetting.
-
Yes, but not sure of the model. Here's a similar one.

Thank you for all suggestions, especially Brocky, 41chevy, and Steve S.! I'll let you know when I get something that works.

Working A Mile High

A mile high...are you out west? Looks like a roadbuilding job. -
Okay, there's not much unusual about this truck except that it was a '76 and a friend of mine had his '87 get totaled so I put the TBI engine, computer, and wiring harness in my '76. I did a frame-off at the same time; I loved that truck but it was a 1/2 ton so I ended up selling it in order to buy a 3/4 ton. I didn't care for the driveability of the TBI--the throttle was either on or off; no feathering. I have a '79 with a Holley carb and the throttle is really nice.

Somebody just posted a bunch of nice brochures for B, C, E, F, H, and N models on Ebay. Just search for "Mack truck brochure" and you'll see them.

Keith, is that brown liquid in the cup a special rust-eating chemical? ;-) I decided to try the drill method; I was surprised at how easy the rivets drill. I started with a 1/8" and stepped up to a 1/2" bit, I kept the drill slow and lots of oil--it went fairly quickly. Chiseled the head off and the body popped right out.

Long Island Truck Show

I like Irfanview...it's a free download and it's very easy to resize and save photos. You just hit Ctrl + R, select the size you want, and after that hit Ctrl + S to save. Doesn't take up a lot of space on your hard drive either. -
That floor pan is ridiculous! It looks like a map of Minnesota.

I like your wrecker--it looks like it's ready to hook up and go to work. -
I may do that; it's not the appearance I'm worried about. The rust is really deep, like half way or more through the metal. In some spots it's right in the radius of the flange which is a bad spot for cracking.
-
Yes, I measured outside the piece that's still in the bracket. Thank you for the suggestion--I'll try that.
-
I don't know what it is about Craigslist, you get some real whackos offering stupid prices or trades for things.
-
The tractors I've worked on have one switch that powers tractor and trailer lights.
-
That Hayes is a fine looking truck! I'm not a fire fan but glad to see that Seagrave with Columbus Ohio on the badge...we're proud of the long heritage we have for manufacturing apparatus (and still make Sutphen and Horton here).
-
Well, I got some more brackets and such removed and I found some heavy rust on the frame rails. They will probably suffice since this will just be a hobby truck, but I'd really like to replace them...does anybody know where I can get new or good used rails for an H67 tandem? I don't want to splice them. Second question: how do you remove the buck rivets in the crossmembers? I cut the head off one but the shank is swelled in the hole so it won't drive out.
-
The bushings are 1.125" id, 2.125" od, 2.375" wide. In the photo, you can see the rubber has worn away on one side. If anybody has any suggestions for a source, I'd appreciate it!
-
After you remove the bolt, drive a chisel in the gap to spread it, then spray with PB blaster and tap all around it to spread the oil around. I ground some grooves in the sides of the chisel to give it grip (it will pop right out if you don't).
-
Are all the cables there? My truck has a series/parallel switch; if your truck has one I don't know if 3 batteries would work. You could read the voltage tag on the starter to see if it's 12 or 24 volts.

Gus#9 bumper finished!

Is that the original bumper or where did you get it? -
What a sad story. Cat engines had a great reputation in the US a couple of decades ago. Sounds like some mismanagement in Peoria - er - wherever they're moving their headquarters.
