  1. Hey, it looks great in red! Very nice truck...I like the sparkle shift knob.
  2. You know what they say...women can't resist a man driving a Mack truck.
  3. That engine room is beautiful! Those big GMs are cool.
  4. If you want to do some investigating on your Cummins, you could check out Red Smith. He's a BMT supporter. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/29345-please-welcome-red-smith-vintage-cummins-engines-as-our-newest-bmt-advertiser/
  5. Great scenery! Post pics anytime.
  6. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1970-DIAMOND-REO-TRUCK-WETLINE-RUNS-AND-DRIVES-GOOD-NO-RESERVE-/370802324605?pt=Commercial_Trucks&hash=item56558a747d
  7. I'm not a big fan of Apple in general, but I've had an iphone for over a year and it's been extremely reliable and very easy to use. My son has a Windows phone and he really likes it, the rest of my family has Androids and they work but can be pretty finicky.
  8. This is actually a pretty solid looking truck...I don't think I've ever seen a Roadranger behind a gas engine.
  9. Man, Superdog! You've got a regular Mack ranch there!
  10. I've got an Overdrive from the 70's which has a review of the new Freightliner Powerliner...they didn't have much good to say about that truck! I've got another issue with a tour of the Brockway factory in Cortland and they were impressed with how tough the Brockways were built.
  11. One time we were lowering the cab on a K100 Kenworth, the shift lever pushed a small fire extinguisher out of its bracket and the valve broke off of the extinguisher. The inside of that cab filled with what looked like white smoke, we thought it was on fire! That white powder was in every stinkin crack of that cab.
  12. Great reading, guys! The F model is a beautiful truck.
  13. Doesn't look too rusty. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/B75-Mack-Fire-Truck-/111053929698?pt=Commercial_Trucks&hash=item19db547ce2
  14. It does look like an ex fire truck...that would explain the red paint and the nice condition. That's a mess of Macks in the background!!
  15. Must be sold...the listing's gone.
  16. I've done a few kingpins, they were always brass bushings. When we needed to heat them up to work on them, we would pump some fresh grease in them after heating to cool down the bushings.
  17. Looks pretty decent. http://chillicothe.craigslist.org/cto/3720078949.html
  18. Came across this pic of Mark Fidrych (The Bird), a baseball player from Mass whose career was cut short by an undiagnosed rotator cuff tear. He was working on his truck (I don't know if it was this one) in 2009 when his clothes got caught in the spinning PTO shaft and suffocated him. He was a good guy who sadly died too young, but at least he had good taste in trucks.
  19. Well, it's not a Mack or Brockway building but we did save a Binder dealer here in Columbus Ohio. If you look at where the old truck is parked next to the building, my office (where I'm sitting right now) is right there. The IHC stuff was removed in the Fifties, so we didn't get the chance to save any of it. It's now an office building for several different businesses.
