  1. Two of my H models have air start; this is the lever in front of the driver's seat to actuate the starter (my neighbors all know when I fire it up). As you can see, there's a piece that pokes through a hole in the floor-anyone have a clue what that's for? There's nothing on either of my trucks that it does.
  2. That is going to look fantastic rolling down the road...nice work!
  3. Great to see someone taking care of the family lineage-that is important. Nice looking little rig!
  4. Man, that looks sharp! I like the red chassis with the gray rims....good work.
  5. Here's a pair of NOS door handles on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MACK-B-MODEL-door-handles-original-nos-parts-/192112336593?hash=item2cbac99ed1:g:MXgAAOSwfVpYr1vq&vxp=mtr
  6. That's a fine looking chassis! What type of paint and gun did you use on it? By the way, you need lots of junk piled around your shop so it looks like mine!
  7. Some of the women we have here in Ohio could pass for cattle.
  8. I think the cab mounts are bad because the cab is off center.
  9. Love the orange, and the stripe looks great! I notice you have spokes on front and budds on back, is there a particular reason for that? I'm used to seeing trucks the other way around.
  10. Looks like some very good quality work there. Good luck!
  11. That thing's so beautiful, it will be a shame to get it all dirty! You're doing top-notch work to that truck.
  12. That's a beautiful truck...whoever restored that did a fantastic job.
  13. Yes, it's an aluminum tank. I looked inside the tank and there's no corrosion. My cab jack pump is leaking; it's an Ausco DP-148...I googled that and this website sells seal kits for it. http://www.hcrcnow.com/shop/seal-kits/u-s-jack-ausco
  14. My cab latch wouldn't clear the strike so I decided to fix it. The truck has air start so there's an air tank in the luggage bin that's about 4' long and 12" across. Needless to say, you can't even see the latch so I pulled the air tank out to check it out. It wasn't too bad of a job but you can see it was a tight fit. I think some lube and adjustment will get the latch working correctly.
  15. That is a super nice looking fleet. Glad to hear you're keeping family history alive.
  16. I agree with fxfymn, good jack stands are invaluable. One of our customers was killed putting shocks on his van because he didn't use good jack stands.
  17. Okay reading all the stories now I have to chime in. When I was in diesel school in 1981, we had a shiny 290 on the engine stand using a 12v fuel pump to feed fuel to it. Lunch time came and no one remembered to unplug the fuel pump. We came back from lunch and fired the engine up, it went to about 3 or 4,000 rpms immediately and then slowly calmed down. Of course, we were all looking for clean underwear when the shop teacher saw what happened, he yelled at us for leaving the fuel pump on. Then there's the time I came to work one morning at the Cat dealer in Miami FL, I saw about a 6' by 6' white square just below the water in the huge canal in front of the dealer. When I got inside they told me that a tow truck driver picked up our company Ford Bronco from along the highway because one of the u-joints had broken. When he dropped it at our yard, he put the Bronco in park and unhooked the chains. Of course, it was facing the canal and rolled right into it! I imagine his boss gave him quite a lecture about u-joints and how the parking gear works.
  18. Looks like you're doing it right! I hope things go smoothly and it turns out nice.
  19. I see the Detroit has the optional "exhaust lubrication" kit.
