have no idea about old macks but I luv em and I will have another. but that house in the back looks real familiar

iv never claimed to be a big truck guy but that is what the mack said, although the cab was changed no matter how you look at it, even with that new motor the mack had, im hundreds of miles ahead with this as far as being legal and looking presentable we actually looked at a rd with a 237 in baibridge just like the old one for 7500. about the same condition as this ford. my dad said he would give me the other 2500 I needed but hes helped us out enough already

actually one of the main reasons I went to look at it was because its 35,000. the rear axle tag says eaton 23,000 the mack tag only said 19,000 on the rear. the only thing that's got me is the fact that the O-rings are seeping between the heads and front cover. its pina no matter how u do it. doesn't leak when hot only after it cools. my research says pulling the heads is easier but because of its low hours and the fact that it barely smokes when its cold im gonna go for the front cover. after that the only thing I wish it had was some kind of retarder. thanks for the replies, im really proud of it. i

thanks, unfortunately the two orings that go from the heads to the front cover are seeping antifreeze. there is no easy fix. my research says the heads are the way to go. but since the engine has low hours and doesn't smoke im going to go for the front cover. I realize its no mack but my chances of passing the road test are much better in this truck. my father drove it back from Hartford ct for me. this was one of the most stressful days of my lifeit was 180 miles one way. ibrought everything from a generator to a fire extinguisher. not many old trucks look like that around here.

I think I did good for 4200 and I can actually shift it

on my radiator there is a small glass port halfway up the radiator. is this the level or minimum mark. im looking for some manuals. thanks

hi all I got the truck and am very happy with its condition. I know I will have to replace the throwout bearing but some grease really quieted it. my big question is the waterpump is quite large with several protrusions. each head has about an 1 1/2 pipe going into this large pump casting. there is what looks like an oring on each. both sides have a slow drip, doesn't spray when hot just a slow drip. any suggestions? its a 3208 and the tranny is actually 5+2. thanks.

hi forgive me if im posting in the wrong area tomorrow im going to look at a s/a ford with the 3208. iv already asked the owner a bunch of questions so im wondering this- when they say it has a 6 speed transmission does that mean its a 6 speed auto or manual transmission? thanks.

mack is sold and I got enough to get into another truck, thanks to all

no matter what I do im going to start disessembling the truck. any suggestions on what to do to the motor for long term storage?

theres no welding to it. maybe I sugar coated it?does anyone have a frame they would sell or trade? I have some neat things. but I don't want junk for junk. I will make some calls but looks like it might be getting cut up.

rail quote based on exact dimension and shape- 9500.00 not gonna happen

Hey guys, after numerous evaluations I have realized I'm kidding myself if I think I can cob it. The outer rail appears to be 1/4'', and the inner rail appears to be 3/16" thick. My question is if I purchase new rails can I go with just a 1/4" single rail? This would help keep cost down and simplify future maintenance. I also found a tag on engine's it saysCAMEROTA truck parts ID# 65342. There's a phone that I will call and see what they say. If been saving for that old D6 for some time but if been in contact with pg Adams and we will see what they can do for me. If purchasing rails is out of my future it might be on the market.thanks

thanks guys!

couldn't find the frame #'s front axle # isn't legible cant find # on engine? if I want to order anew rail how can I be sure I get the right one? thanks
