  1. Really? That's funny......The thread is over a year old, and most (if not all) truck shows in the USA went on this summer without a hitch. Are you possibly a troll or scammer?
  2. I hope Big Mike is ok.....He was just on the bookfaze a week or two ago. The 4x4 MH is now at the Mack Museum.
  3. Thank you Brocky, I am familiar with BEPCO, they were probably the last vendor in the universe that had the rotors for the Kelsey-Hayes disc brakes that Mack was installing until they sold out. Yes. Will need something. I messaged a guy who was parting out a 1986 Harvester S1600 but have not heard back from him.
  4. Looking for a medium sized International truck (GVWR 15000 +/-) with an old school, two stage pre-electronic/pre anti-lock brake system that someone is parting out. Will take another brand if no other alternative but prefer I/H. Looking to rob the master cylinder and vacuum booster. NOT INTERESTED IN AN ENTIRE TRUCK. Brake system only!!! Everything we are finding is too new and requires electrons. Want to replace the master cylinder in the F.W.D. and upgrade to a two-stage brake system. Any leads appreciated. The closer to eastern Pa the better.
  5. I have been trying to track him down for some time with no success.
  6. Look into changing over to Pertronix electronic ignition. It is not terribly expensive and you will not regret it. As for the fuel pumps, good luck, any used ones you find will be in just a poor condition as the ones you have, recommend rebuilding the ones you have if you can find new diaphragms. And after you get it running try to only use non-ethanol gasoline to avoid trashing the new diaphragms and other rubber parts and to prevent clogging the carb. No mechanical pumps or parts? Install an Airtex electric pump.
  7. I would like to have seen it in operation at the height of WW1 or WW2.
  8. I bet I know someone.....He may also know where to find the 16" gun from the USS Mississippi that was cast on the site in 1919. He may also know where Emeril's Fish House Restaurant is located in the Casino- which has the best chowder and banana cream pie in the known universe.
  9. Were you able to look down into the area with all the furnace-gas operated engines? That is really cool.....
  10. No pix of the one-of-a-kind Mack bus?
  11. Venezia is a dry bulk hauler out of Limerick Pa near Philly. They literally just finished the restoration of that F-Model a week or two ago and the graphics went on the Monday of Macungie Week.
  12. I can neither confirm or deny some tuning up having been done by the Cops that cuffed him...........
  13. Glad to hear that you and the Missus are OK. The last time an arsehole spat in my face when I was a firefighter treating them......The Cops cuffed him and I put a pillowcase over his head. When it was brought up in court as abuse of a patient, the Judge looked at arsehole's attorney and said "your client should have considered that before he spat on the EMT. But if you want to make a case out of it we can tack on another charge of interfering and assault on an officer if you'd like......."
  14. Same with my wife over Xmas of 2019. Bad bad flu like symptoms and felt like a truck was parked on her chest. Then got it again a week or two before Xmas 2020 with a test and confirmation of covid19. This time not as severe but came with loss of taste and smell for 3 weeks +/-
  15. Disappointed in the lack of "Girls in Cars" pictures.
  16. OK I didn't realize he took the exit. I hope my private message notification gets into his email. If anyone hears from him tell him I am looking for him. Thanks, Yardo.
  17. I know he's probably somewhat of a private guy but does anyone have a cell number or an email for Paul? Now I am starting to get kinda worried...???
  18. (Raises hand..........) WAIT!!! WAIT!!! I HAZ A QUESTION!!! If Other Dog retires, where will we get our "Girl in a Car" Pictures? Maybe he shouldn't retire???
  19. So a little bird just told me that Other Dog has retired. The red KW has been cleaned out, vacuumed, washed and returned to FL Moore and the keys handed in. (Were the second logbooks burned...???) I just wanted to say Congratulations to one of the biggest assh......I mean one of my best and closest friends on his retirement. Please enjoy a safe, healthy and happy life with Zina from Florida now from Virginia. You certainly deserve every good fortune that is hopefully headed your way. Thank you for being a good friend- we do not get to see each other often but I consider you family and if Zina from Florida now from Virginia becomes Mrs. Other Dog that means she will be family too. Love you guys and god bless you!!! Now, the question remains: What are you going to do on Monday morning? I have a great suggestion, how does "Other Dog's Steel Coil Chaining School and Brass Pole-a-torium" sound? It's a combination school to teach proper coil chaining and stripper bar. We can have all kinds of Winfall Wimmen and smoke some brisket (not close to the building) and have some Schlitz and Jack Daniels. We will make millions, I promise!! (I think.)
  20. I thought I had his number somewhere but I do not...........
  21. Paul, come in Paul...... Where ya at???
  22. Got my second one today, no issues so far. I am required to get one as an EMT. Wife got her second one last week. The next day she felt like death warmed over for 24 hours. Woke up the following day, said she felt like she had a hangover, she took a long hot shower and was fine after that. She is mandated by her employer (she is an NICU Nurse) to get it.
