Just a thought...If this mack has the 33.5" frame width (out side to out side of the rails)Cut the stock frame behind the cab leaving the outer rail extending to the nearest crossmember Then find a Cut off with a standard frame width of 34". Take the cut off frame and roll it in over the trucks stock outer rail. weld and or bolt it up with 2 cross members to support the splice . I have the same issue with one of my trucks and will likely get rid of the stock frame and use a single frame cut off that will slip over the stock rails fairly easy. IT will be alot cheaper to do it this way than to put new rails in.

Gearhead204 came thru with the Shift knob for my 12 speed... Thank you .... H even sent it before my check arrived...(USPS is making me look bad) got all my parts now just need to find time to get it in and a drive shaft made up...

My B75 with a 285 has a Driver side starter but it also has a R model style clutch pedal.. I think the clutch pedal is going to be the issue for you?

I know I have seen 2 styles of R model visors. I think both were made by lund. One is squared off like vlad posted the other was a more rounded profile. I think the one posted could be for a mack R as it looks like the roof vent would be in line with the indents of the visor top. ?

I left a review on the google page https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-ab&ei=YPIWWuWKDaS3jwS_zZOABg&q=country+inn+and+suites+New+Centre+Drive%2C+Wilmington+NC&oq=country+inn+and+suites+New+Centre+Drive%2C+Wilmington+NC&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i22i30k1l2.955.2152.0.2922.2.2.0.0.0.0.110.201.1j1.2.0....0...1c.2.64.psy-ab..0.2.200...0.0.kxkqIPcKqyc#lrd=0x89a9f527fc0a4adf:0x8b0f866462471691,1,,,

Same issues in the race parts industry when it comes to electronic parts,ECU, Dash reprogramming... etc.... When we had teams asking us for basic pin out or info on items they bought from us we had nothing but trouble with the European companies. Even their tech reps gave us a hard time. Many times We had to go to the Race car series and get them to demand the release of otherwise basic info for our customers. After all the Series was who made agreements with these MFG parts suppliers and then they tried to back door them by charging for info on them. and even when we got the info it was in German or french and we still had to decipher thru the maze of wording and color codes... Im glad I dont work in that industry anymore as its just become a PITA with everthing.

No, hers are not that big

Here let me help.......its hard to see but I out lined it for you

It likely moves along well because it has no emission crap bolted to it. ?? I don't think military or emergency trucks come with EPA crap on them?

Thats good to know. I thoughtmack went back to the 1970s when many Mack Westerns did not even have tow hooks. My 77 RS700L has a nice factory aluminum bumper but who ever ordered it new speced it with out tow hooks. Not that I ever needed them but still think every truck should have them as standard equipment.

Thats a Pontiac not a Mack (look at the hood badge) Now show us the real prototype for the B model II Concept....We know you have it...!!!

so you cant see them blinking when the headlights are on?

remove bumper to get to tow hooks....How smart is that!!!!! I would first try and tow it with those hood mirrors. if that did not work then I would pull the bumper but thats just me...

Here is another test

There it is....took me a while but I found it......I had to move back from the screen

Correct me if im wrong but the radator cap should release pressure above a set psi. Is the cap failing? Do these new trucks even have a cap on the radiator or is it just on the overflow tanks?

nice find considering its age... keep the pics coming as we dont get to see many of these in solid found condition

Completly missed this build..... Nice job on it. Looks great. I put sound deadening in the whole cab on My RS700 and it made a very noticable difference. I also did the inside of my doors and like you said you notice it when you open or shut them. it sounds like a block of wood hitting the floor now vs a pop can.

Hold my beer......

I dont know the exact specs but one of the main reasons they had such higher HP was the fact that they have a unlimited source of cold water to keep things in check. I know they used them in military Tanks as well.

the same trend around here is that WM is buying natural gas powered trucks and they have drifted away from mack. even with WM roll off trucks I see more new petes than Mack. that being said I think the Granite is a better roll off chassis.

im just here for the boobs

anyone see this yet? Its $$$ but looks kinda cool https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mack-Model-B-1-Piece-Fiberglass-Front-End-Nose-Tilt-Custom-B61-B42-UNFINISHED/302439994332?hash=item466ad413dc:g:5zkAAOSw7zlZkOgv&vxp=mtr

Poor girl cant afford to pay for Home heating.....But I dont mind

Most often I used a hand wrench that was heated and bent to get a better angle on them. I think they are 3/4" bolts if I recall?
