AZB755V8

Wow, that is a collection that took years to accumulate and very impressive. I have few diecast and know the cost. 

Wife know how much you got into it? Hope not or you may have to buy her some stuff. Nice collection!

Damn that looks great! Itch sold it to a good home!

 

Thanks, When I got it off Itchy it was in need of some attention. Since it's been in a good caring home along with a few other good old Dogs. Had all the sheet metal striped to bare metal, had some chrome done and went from all green to tan and green for paint. Found a few pieces to make it complete with all the 141 aluminum castings that make it an LTL. It is a Great old truck and the true definition of a long hood Dog!

She's a beauty too bad can't get to a show to show it off

It's OK, got here and that counts a lot. Most guys here know what it takes to get a retired 67 year old truck to look good. There is always next year for the shows.

looking for ball studs and springs for B61 power steering cylinder

Didn't know that a B-61 can with power steering but I learn something everyday. Maybe after market part? Is the cylinder air or hydraulic and by what manufacture? Listed in the wrong section as this is parts for sale not parts wanted.

Will that condenser work in an RS?

The condenser in any system just needs to fit the area available. The newer R-134 condensers are a lot more efficient than older R-12 ones and much smaller. There is one other thing that is important, where the ports are located and which way they are directed. It did take me a few condensers to get the right one for the RW. Using my local A/C Red Dot distributor helped a lot. Taking one and trying it then returning it at no restocking charge. The 77R1105 had the ports high enough to clear the wide frame of a Superliner II. The other condensers would have worked with a standard R or maybe an RS. The area needed is approx, 33" wide X 9" tall X 1.25" thick under the intercooler. If you need exact dimensions I can get them in a day or so.

I wanted to update,

All in less compressor $331.46, I bought a compressor local $264.51, should have gotten it from Partdeal.com.

 

Rob,

Glad you got the parts and information needed to cool down your RW.

I understand saving a buck and I freely help anyone that ask even though the information cost me time and money. I do support my local parts Guy's and their businesses. Without them the only thing we would have is internet on-line sales and hope the right parts come. Remember when the Mack parts counter Guy's could help you without a Vin# and looking at a computer screen for 30 minutes to find the correct part. Old times guy would just go in the back and bring out what you were looking for, those days are long gone. It is nice that a few Real parts guys still exist and it does not cost that much to support them.

I spent $800 in parts, with the higher pressure hoses, which were 1/3 the cost. Parts without hoses were $570 adding $220 for crimped custom hoses locally. Plus, got information, talked to a knowledgeable person, returned a unused part (without restocking fee or shipping) and had hoses made in 15 minutes, all expected for Great sales/service. Also had the Evaporator coil tested for $20, it was good that was in the $570 for parts. Think I got a good deal plus share what I learned.

WHAT a Mack trans that doesn't like to shift, what's new ? 

Yep, got to work with what I got, an E9 and Mack 18 Speed, it was the hot set-up years ago. Guy's made careers out of shifting Mack's and got by. If I was really working it a big Road Ranger would be a consideration. But just because I am getting soft in my old age!

Just think there are "Truckers/Drivers" that don't know what a clutch is these days. If it doesn't have and Automatic they can't drive it. Let alone fight with a Mack trans. An old Mack 2 stick Tri-Plex would be out of the question to shift, no synchromesh, no nothing, just sound and fell. It would be considered Driver abuse to have anyone drive one now.

I get deliveries and the Drives ask about the old Mack's in the building and want to see. Everyone sees the two sticks in the B-Model and says they heard of them but never seen one. Then I show them the three sticks in the LTL and blow them away. "How do you keep track of what gear your in" is the fist question. I just say it's on a indicator plate above the windshield, they look and say which one? I say it takes all three. They leave and said good thing they drive Automatics.  

I would say by the green exterior and frame that truck belonged to Stan Leman. It has external air cleaners now and pin stripping but that sure look like the one he had. He is a real V-8 Guy.

Great looking engine with the inline pump!

That little condenser is enough to keep everything cold?  Looks like it is only about 8" tall.

Yes it does! It is all about heat transfer. There is as much if not more area as the Grilldenser with all the fins and is R-134 comparable. It does cool better. Grilldeser is R-12 only I was told. It is the same condenser as used on the CL's. That is how I matched it up. Never heard of any A/C cooling issues with the CL's. I do have an original condenser out of a CL if you want it $50 plus the shipping. It is in good shape and will bolt right in, holes where already in my radiator side rails, I just wanted new. Whole conversion cost about $800 in parts. Have to get higher pressure hoses for R-134. They were 1/3 the total cost. Come to think of it I have good used R-134 hoses, dryer and valve too $150 for all. Only thing left is the compressor to get.

Anyone replace condenser with aftermarket one? What did you get and what size.  

My grilldensor was plugged with calcium and oil, thought we got it cleaned out still having problems with charging system

I have done this fix. The Red Dot # 77R1105 condenser fits perfectly, it is an R-134 unit. I go over the retro-fit in this post: Red Dot R-8810-M Started June 9, 2019 photos and all.  Let me know if I can help more.

Interested in bumpers.

Be a while for a reply from "jcclark" hasn't been to this site since June 2016.

If you like the seat except the color, change the color. Reupholster it in the color red you want, it'll cost less than a new seat anyway. Cheaper is upholstery color die, some good stuff out there.

here it is, Tony's 3 limited edition R models in his doggie compound, enjoy

I was wondering where Tom Brown Sr's. from Ohio, Magnum went. I was talking to Tom Jr. several years ago about it. Just after it was sold, he was bummed out of course. He said it was going to stay in the family but a collector gave crazy money for it. It was in really good shape to begin with before the boat ride over.

That’s a cute little bugger. Is it a cub?

That is the Original Cub Cadet. Worked on many of them, they would last forever with a little maintenance. But many of them were in the condition of this one and could not be brought back to life at a reasonable cost. This one would be worth putting a couple of bucks into provided it did not need an engine rebuild.

Great little tractor for a belly mower, snow plow or just pulling a cart around. All made in the USA.

Super line up of limited edition dogs. They will be well cared for. Tony Champion is a nice Guy and Super Mack enthusiast, these are a fraction of what he has. Surprised to not see one of the Very limited Bicentennial Australian Superliners in the photo. 

Only thing is most of us will never see them in person unless you visit Australia some day. Super collection just on the other side of the world, wish it was closer!!

How come some Superliners have the air cleaners outside the hood like the R models and some don't? I build model trucks and want to make sure I get a Superliner right.

It was an option with the exterior air cleaners. Same as duel or single stack.
