    What's the boiler pressure on the old tractors.....is it as high as late model steam locomotives....250-300 psi?

    I installed a sheapperd steering box off a rs600 onto my rs700... I had the same manual steering box as you... All I had to do is drill a few holes and add spacers for the power steering box? If I recall i used 2 or 3 of the factory holes in the front spring hanger... Installed a power steering pump from an 80's vintage r model. The type that fits to the back of the air compressor and ran lines to a frame mounted resivor...

    I pulled a frameless hilbilt that would raise real high...the rear rear tractor wheels could touch the forward trailer axel when the box was up... The slop in the 5thwheel showed that the trailer was trying to go over center when pulling forward.... I bet he had the same set up to do that.....we call it " rocket man"

    Saw a guy that did this ...frameless end dump...he thought the load was stuck. Backed up and stabbed the brakes...trailer lifted tractor off the ground...trailer sat straight up in the air with tailgate on the ground....

    Is that what that switch there does....

    Best AC unit found in an r model was the rear wall red dot. It would freeze you out and I had to put all the vents towards the passenger side. Worst part is you would bang your elbow on the dam thing looking for 3rd or 5th

    Sorry about that.... What color is your superliner?. Need to see a pic so I know who we're talking about....hell brian sees me all the time and I just drive by himwith my nose in the air. Lol.. ......I saw a gray superliner down near the refinery on near new ave and 355 on Thursday. Waved at him...

    Finally saw you while I was awake...I made a mad dash from pattens yard to make it to the green arrow. As I was grabbing gears I was looking at the Pete and saying i think that's Brian's.....I saw your guy on the side of the road waiting for you looked like that was going to be fun trying to load him up but if he was able to move that's half the battle....I try to move over for stranded people when ever I can. It's no fun trying to strap something down with 70mph traffic going past you...

    If I recall the early version 12 speed was a 2 stick...i think the 2nd stick was just for the deep reduction used in 1st....the splitting was still done with the splitter on the main stick?Someone chime in if I wrong...

    Saw a dump truck parked with his box up the other day....looked like he had a load of frozen sand not one bit came out while it was all they way up.... Rookie?
  12. Lmackattack
    That will look nice in Mack red
  13. Lmackattack
    Trucks and trains....Mack did it all
  14. Lmackattack
    I respect his effort and it is his to do so but the results are of a pretty poor looking r model.....this is why we don't chop truck cabs....the look like toys when your done....even most cars look goofy when chopped but this one takes the cake... Just my.02

    I got a hold of the diamond tuck with buttons out of a valuliner. The door panels have dogs stamped into them and also sport the diamond tuck. I think it was one of the nicer interior options Mack has ever done. Would have liked to have found the dogs with a hat but it's cools hey way it is...

    65 at 1800rpm is not to bad. Won't be screaming at a reasonable hiway speed and yet the 300 will have a little more fight to get to 2100 when you want to pass a governed fleet spec truck..
  18. Lmackattack
    Very classic looking B model with a touch of extra frame...looks great
  19. Lmackattack
    Same here...pulled the front end up a few times in places I should not have been driving thru. Can't comment on price of parts. Never have had to rebuild one.... on a side note if you come to a stop are later find your stuck on snow or mud and it won't kick in. Stab the brake pedal quickly to transfer power to a wheel with grip and it should engauge the divider. Just a few quick stabs will do the trick

    Ouch!

    What was the option for the horse shoe stamped panels? I have seen just the dog stamped and the dog with shoe....was it just an option or was it a premium package?
  22. Lmackattack
    If you have camelback springs and automatic power divider you are good to go. Very reliable and it works great as long as the power divider parts are not worn out. Most r models with this set up will go in and out of the soft stuff where other trucks would not even think about it.

    Very cool..glad its home safe...post up some more pics when you have time...I have always wanted to see one in person...
  24. Lmackattack
    Gotcha.....don't know fuel specs and don't have my books handy..
  25. Lmackattack
    Yep. Gears you can use and or shift on the fly when backing up. The 8LL just won't cut it for backing up your either to slow or to fast and if I recall you can't range select when backing up?
