    Normaly it's just 3 points of contact. The bell housing has one each side and the front of engine has one. This allows the frame to twist and not brake mounts or the block,trans case etc...

    ok so what kind of destruction did a 7 ton projectile do? Was it just a slug or did it have some kind of explosive attached to it. i would have to think it would go thru about 10 buildings if it had the right angle but they all seam to be aimed at the sky, that tells me it was likely coming back down at a steep angle?? intresting stuff

    When you say bent is it worn to the point that it can touch the housing or do you just feel a little free play? can you tell id any oil is leaking out the exhaust side or intake side? I put a turbo on my truck from a junk blown engine . cost me less than $50. lots of the old engines just sitting around. hard part is finding one that was not kept out in the rain with the boot off the turbo so water did not get in.

    Thanks for that list. those are popular mack transmissions Did you happen to add up the Quad and 6 speed? those were pretty popular as well. Still have to have my 12 speed installed so I can get to and from the show a little faster!

    Yep has a Cat motor in it. It was for sale last year and I looked at it. nice truck, had a little rust in normal spots and the alum frame was cut and welded at one point.

    Spoke to him a few weeks back. He has been busy and I told him we all miss him over here. He says hello to all..

    All I can say is that when I saw it the whole truck looked restored. Grantedit was dark out but I saw no rust,and lots of tasteful stainless add ons.tires were good polished aluminum. If the frame still had good paint, engine was strong,trans and rear ends were not leaking and were rebuilt when the glider kit was bought then I would say 25k would be a damm good price for it.

    28 sounds right. My older 285 will push 25psi and near 30 when cold weather.

    It may help if you put heat stickers on the drums. They do this with race cars to see if they are all reaching the correct temp. You will not get a good reading if you have to stop,Jump out and take a reading off the drums. The temps will drop fairly quick in the cold....Its more important that they all reach say 300 deg under a normal loaded stop. If 3 corners hit 300 but one corner is 600 then you know one is grabbing harder. Also test when the truck is loaded, limited wind and warm weather. This will give you more accurate readings.

    Looks like custom made wood.

    Just clips onto the r models rear window channel?

    Yep saw that down in a west va truck stop a few months back. 30k would be a fair asking price IMO. Looked like it was brand new front to back...

    The old Mack ( dog ) was at the in laws. He spent the whole day with Sarah and the girls getting ready. I wish he could talk or at least take pics. God knows what he saw.... The redhead is married to a neighborhood friend. She is a trooper. Real down to earth and makes me look like a little school girl when we're out drinking.

    After driving a lot of trucks I like them at least 206" for a day cab. That looks like a 187"

    IT MAY HAVE BLOWN OFF A INJECTOR TIP...IF IT IS A BOSH INJECTOR JUST SWAP IT INTO A DIFFRENT HOLE AND FIRE IT UP. IF THE OTHER HOLE IS SPEWING ITS LIKELY THE INJECTOR. IF IT DOES NOT THEN I WOULD SAY SOMETHING IN THE PUMP...

    Saw a lot of these down in fl as cement trucks.

    I'm in the same boat. I Need a good rubber boot that fits the window opening so I dont have to drill or cut into the cab sheet metal.. people have said to contact sleeper mfg or rv dealers. If you have an air ride cab you will need to allow for movement.

    This is exactly why I don't like the electoral system.. I think popular should be the way to tally the vote. I know blue won the popular but look how close it was... Im from Chicago and it sickened me to see how a few blue parts of the state can control everything. I honestly think the immigrant, black and white trash sway the election towards the hand out party. And let's be honest. If you had nothing, were uneducated and raised to ask for other peoples stuff....who would you vote for...it will take a generation to change that mentality. Sad....

    No I did not. I left in my 65' caddy with my bride,best man and a bunch a blondes. no way that was happing in a R model with no sleeper.We did kick around the idea of my buddy taking his RD and dump trailer and I would follow him with about a 100 beer cans strung out the back of the tailgate. But that was going to be alot of work and I was hung over the night before LOL.... But it crossed minds more than once that day!
