    Man, Superdog! You've got a regular Mack ranch there!

    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.

    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.

    Great reading, guys! The F model is a beautiful truck.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    Looks great!

    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.

    I have a full size GMC for hauling, but my daily driver is a Toyota Camry. I've been driving Toyotas since 1986, wouldn't have any other vehicle. They're built like a...well...they're just well built.

    That's a nice looking dump...I like the set back axle. If that dog's going to carry the ball, he'd better wear a helmet.

    I'm not up to snuff on newer Macks, but when I worked on trucks the biggest problem we saw was boost pressure leaks...split hoses, broken clamps, or cracked aftercooler. Look over all the pipes from your turbo to aftercooler and then to intake manifold.

    Beautiful DC-75 on ebay...show quality. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Professionally-restored-1965-Autocar-DC-75-/271178948859?pt=Commercial_Trucks&hash=item3f238660fb#v4-40

    I've never had a Mack apart...when I was a kid I remember my dad's mechanic using dry ice to shrink new liners to slip them into a Mack block (673?). Are those "dry" liners (coolant doesn't touch the liner)? I worked on Cat and Cummins all my life; they use "wet" liners (coolant touches them)...they pull out pretty easy with a puller and you just "pop" them in with lube on the o-rings. We worked on a lot of engines that didn't get proper maintenance on the coolant, and cavitation would pit the liners to the point that they would either leak into the oil pan or right into the cylinder.

    Are you talking about a truck or a woman?

    Freightrain, it could have been built by Freightliner. Here's one I found online, but not the one I remember.
