Is that bar the bar that goes behind this grill in front of the hinges? 

Is this bar supposed to be in front of the two piece grill?

I have been busy with other projects and working, traveling, and going to shows 

this Mack also recieved three new air hoses, and two newer air cans 

yesterday I turned it around in the yard so it could park in the line

it will still take a lot of work before it is on the road but now it can move around the yard under its own power, which was the immediate goal 

This project has been on hold for a few months 

we had the wettest winter in Southern California I can remember in decades 

So today we spent the day working on the truck. After new fuel filters and repriming we pulled the air cleaner and we were ready to give it some starting fluid but as soon as it turned over it started and ran at a smooth idle with 35 lbs oil pressure 

so now I need to replace the air shutoff solenoid due to a large air leak. The fuel return hose is also leaking. The one leak that we can’t find the source is there is oil in the rear valley near where the slober tube is bolted on but we can’t see an obvious source 

I get the texts to verify a charge text back y or n

i have received several calls from the real fraud department. The caller asked me if the had the card in my possession and to call the number on the back. That is now my standard procedure.

be cautious and never give out your information to a caller unless you made the call

Also, I think it technically illegal by National Electric Code to use a standby generator without a transfer switch. Automatic or manual. 

Even in California all you need to do is turn the main breaker off 

They make an interlock so that you have to turn the main breaker off to turn the generator breaker on.

I use a lockout device on the main breaker, so it is locked in the off position

at night I can tell when the power is back on by the street lights 

PM sent 

Great progress 

how much do you want for the parts?

can you ship them to 91722?

I may have what you’re looking for. I will send some pics once I locate them

There appears to be a bottom piece to that visor, do you have that? 

I am looking for the following parts for my 1972 and 1970 R models 

the dash panel that contains the tach and speedometer, or a tracing of the panel 

the riser/ sunshade that goes between the above dash panel and the dash, I need two of these 

a speedometer 

a ashtray 

the cover that goes on the back of the cab between the floor and the air valves 

I ordered one today and they show 5 in stock 

Galleher in Pomona has all the pieces to build, repair or modify most flatbeds that you find her in Southern California 

https://galleherind.com/products/flatbeds-trailers/

Thanks I messaged both of them 

I am looking for an instrument panel, speedometer and tach, and two of the visor sunshades that go between that instrument panel and the dash for two steel dash Mack’s I am working on

I don't think the lift pump is you issue ! A sticking rack is more due to scored plungers etc. Is your fuel pump AMBAC or Bosch !

The sticking rack only started after the rebuilt lift pump was installed 

I am resurrecting this thread because I have a similar problem on a E6 350.

it became hard starting and would lose prime ant the filters were partially empty. I replaced all suction and return lines from the injection pump to the tank and had the lift pump rebuilt. The problem persists and now the shutdown rack sticks and will not go back in without cranking the engine and it still loses prime. Could the rebuilt lift pump be pushing too much side pressure on the cam causing the rack to jamb?

So this thread has me thinking about adding an electric pump to prime the truck and or replace the lift pump.

Can I remove the lift pump and block off the hole and replace it with an electric pump or should I put the electric pump before the lift pump. 
 

next what electric pump to use? 

The 6 lug 15” trailer wheel

I need the drivers door 

about the rim can I have a friend that lives in Reno pick it up?

That would be great

What does the wheel need to be fixed

i am interested in the door

did you ever find the instrument panel and visor? 

Today was fun

we found the second injector on both sides were stuck. The drivers side one was easy to free up, the passenger side one required the removal of the rocker bolts to gain access.

Then we discovered the truck was actually positive ground. 
 

then the starter solenoid was not behaving

We did get the truck to run but there is no fuel coming back from the lift pump.

now we need to change the filters and work on priming this thing  

Ok do you get down to so cal often?
