1958 F.W.D.

Hmmmmmm we could get Ortlieb's instead????

Wait a minute here fellas........He's relegating us to the house in central Pa while he basks on the beach in Duck, North Carolina? Granted it isn't the true Outer Banks (the purists among us know that the TRUE OBX don't start until Hattaras Island.....but thats a different thread....) but he is still basking on a beach.....while he expects us to deal with the horse poo and other central Pa odors.......I say we all just load up a few cases of Schlitz and a couple of bags of peanuts and head for Duck.....It's not THAT big of a town, shouldn't be all that hard to find a black mopile..........

Diesel- what is it, and do you need for it to be hauled? Is it able to be driven? You could ask my father, he might drive it back for you for air fare/expenses plus some kind of payment. He is an I/C who moves brand new and demonstrator firetrucks for a firetruck manufacturer in Breda, Iowa. He lives in Huntingdon Valley. If you want his contact info let me know. I dont think he would want to bobtail across the whole country however- he did enough of that in his days as an owner/operator working for a trailer broker...LOL

No way, I am trashing it- we're still peeling remnants of pizza and other food off the ceiling of my place after you bungholes had your fun here.

if it smells like fish, tastes like chicken and looks like a taco.......................

you could try mack mhe9 but I don't think he makes West Coast runs that often.

See mack mhe9's recent photos of Camden, New Jersey. The blackened tuna I suggested tastes and smells better.

Bah. That's not the real OBX. The REAL OBX starts on the south side of the Oregon Inlet Bridge- it's called Hattaras Island!!! You gonna take the ferry over to Ocracoke this year?? if you do, stop at Howard's Pub for lunch and get the blackened Cajun tuna sammich!!!!

Where to down there Mike?

If you send your VIN to Don Shumaker at the Mack Museum, and ask for copies of your factory file plus manuals, you will get them. Be advised there is an 8-10 week wait due to numerous requests plus limited (volunteer!) staff. Also, make sure you send a nice donation check. Dont be cheap, the box you will get in the mail is pretty heavy.

Mack. FWD. It's all the same when you're the tree or bush.

Wow I remember going to the housing parade for either this or the R-Model Tanker and their new (at the time) CF Mack with a Pierce Body......Which I understand to be the first Pierce body mounted onto a CF.....I think I have a ceramic mug somewhere from the parade.

The check is in the mail.

ok ok ok you sold me!

I see no Winfall Wimmin pictures. I want my money back.

A USMC Jeep Description USMC Sherman Tank Description Diorama of a bunker on the Chosin Resovoir- this was in a small room that was chilled down to about zero degrees F- not even close to what the US Marines there endured but gave you an idea.... The family coming out the back of a Chinook at hill 881 South in Vietnam Pershing Tank Description

Some pictures from our visit, some truck related some not. SWMBO and the chillens at the main entrance This thing This thing's description USMC Model A Ford L12 Aircraft engine, I didn't notice any oil stains under it though. Description Big (non-Mack) Truck Description of the Big (non-Mack) Truck Large pretending to be a Marine in a chidren's area. He looks handsome!

Sent you a private message. hey Ray if you see this, prepare for a phone call from B20Mack !!!!!

Oh by the way I noticed the dent in the left fender. Nice try with the compound and buffing wheel.

You guys are funny. Very funny- you amuse me. Yes like a clown funny. Got home from vacation on Tuesday 7/22 at 7:00pm. First thing I noticed was that someone tripped the claymore inside the garage man door because the door was all blasted to shit kindling wood and there was a boatload of blood stains on the sidewalk so I know one of you schmucks got it...........!!!!! And at 2.5 to 3.0 MPG (and that's based on a S.W.A.G.) I would have hated to foot the bill to get her to the Montana/Washington line and back- that's an awful lot of TK tip money. Mike too bad I was not home, would have had you and the Missus over for dinner. So you were at the guy about 6 houses down from me that has the Great Dane?? The kids love it when they walk him past the house- he drowns them in slobber when he licks them.

Forgot to mention- even SWMBO, who is NOT into any "guy" stuff at all even said that she was highly impressed. That says a LOT!

Had the opportunity to visit the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, Va, yesterday. (Exit 150 of I-95.) I have to say the place is freaking AWESOME and is possibly the best museum I have ever been in. I highly recommend it to anyone who served in the USMC, or any branch of the US Military or are a Military buff or supporter. Put it on your bucket list. Admission is free and be sure to eat lunch in the recreated Tun Tavern Restaurant on the second floor (not free.) For those of you on my facebook, I posted an album in my pictures.

I concur with kscarbel2. If you can get the parts, they are not terribly difficult to rebuild yourself, however having a bearing press (or access to one) is critical. Any better commercial bearing supplier should be able to measure your bearings and get you new ones.

Reach out to mack mhe9..............If you need his phone number, I have it.

HAPPY BIRFDAY, BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER!!!!!!
