  1. Links worked for me too. Your truck looks and sounds amazing .Great job !!!
  2. Great video !! Thanks for sharing. I would probably run over the camera trying to get that perfect shot that you did.
  3. There used to be a repair kit. Like everything else old..... its probably not available now, but I don't know. Though I would share in case its of any use .
  4. This may help a little. I had to fix an air leak in mine to . I just matched the o-ring up. I was fortunate that there was still one there , it had just got worn from old age. I think you are supposed to use a special grease when you put it back together. I just used chain lube . Not sure if that was right. It doesn't leak any more and works well.
  5. I have friends that are changing their trucks. I just can't do it though. Seems wrong to change something that has worked well for the last 36 years. I will just haul my small loads for now........ Then maybe I will get smart and get a proper job, lol
  6. Thanks, I'm sure you will see some more Canadian trucks. They have been selling at auction cheap. I would think they are heading south.
  7. Maybe I could register my RD with St. Louis plates so I could haul a real load , LOL In Ontario, Canada my tri-axle is only legal to haul 13.6 metric Tonne or 14.9 tons your money . Jan 01 of this year I am not allowed to use my lift axle. If my truck was a 2005 or newer I would be allowed to with a permit. But because of the age of my truck I can't get the permit. The people that make these rules sure do annoy me .
  8. I'm pretty sure its wondering what's in your lunchbox today , lol
  9. It goes on a brake chamber. the push rod goes through the centre.
  10. I hope you didn't think I was being smart about the open air workshop. I'm jealous . It gets pretty cold here . It's hard on the hands trying to repair something outside. If its broke though, sometimes you don't have a choice. My hands give me troubles now from being froze more than once . Your new building sounds impressive
  11. Your truck looks good. I love the all season shop its in . I'm guessing if you want under a roof or in a shop its to avoid the sun . Do you have a hard time finding brake parts for your truck ? I'm one of a few that still run spoke wheels. But in my part of the world its getting difficult to get parts , and if you can find them they are VERY expensive. The steer axle is the worst. The drives are not as bad .
  12. Its been said many times on here, " its worth what someone will pay " . I agree with this. Someone may want a U model more than others , so willing to pay for it. Just like tjc transport said . That being said. I think $4500 would be a fair starting price and then go up . In my neck of the woods.
  13. It almost looks like the truck on the top of the screen. The BMT B model , big stacks ,to boot .
  14. I liked the mud flap video. Thought you might find it interesting ...... There was a thread on the details of the bulldog on the hood. The older bulldogs are not symmetrical. The left and right side are slightly different . Yours should be like that. The same differences were on the older mirrors . New bulldogs are symmetrical . Here is the link . https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43937-mack-mirrors…something-interesting/?tab=comments#comment-323522
  15. Welcome aboard Adam , I have followed your progress from the beginning and always like what you're doing. You came to the right spot for info, and good people . Keep up the good work
  16. Those are really cool Alex . The detail on the R model is amazing !
  17. Welcome aboard. Great story and truck ! Have fun
  18. Hope you start to feel better. It sure looks uncomfortable . Unfortunately , I can't give any advice. I thought you might find it interesting though that your medicine Colchicine , is being used north of the border to treat non-hospitalized patients with covid 19 . I've added the link if your looking for some reading while your resting. https://www.icm-mhi.org/en/pressroom/news/colchicine-reduces-risk-covid-19-related-complications
  19. I came across this video and really liked the fact they were preserving a part of history. It seems to me that some people are too quick to send our past to the scrap yard. This was nice to see . In the town of Fuquay-Varina . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM-i1B4ctzQ
