    I can only find a couple of dents and some very minor rust. I think it's a clean project truck. Were all of these trucks red from the factory? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well, the truck was delivered to my house today. I guess it's time to go to work on it. My wife is gracious enough to let it sit in the front yard for right now. Ha ha. Here are a few pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How do most of you have insurance on your trucks? I'm sure no one wants to pay commercial rates for a hobby truck. Do you have them insured as RV's or farm vehicles? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm not sure if the engine is an EN401 or 402. It has a couple of stuck valves and the previous owner pulled the head. Where is a good source for a head gasket? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This truck is a double frame rail tandem axle. Does that make it an "SX"? It has a fifth wheel now, but appears to have once been a dump. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ok. Thanks! I will definitely do that if the deal goes through and I get this truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    One more question. Are maintenance manuals and parts catalogs available for the complete truck? (Engine, trans, rears, and truck itself) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thank you everyone for the info. I think I want to get this truck if we can get together on the price. I'm sure I will be back to ask more questions before long. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What about the bottom end of the flathead engines? I assume they have bearing inserts? How reliable is the engine in general? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think the gas engine makes the truck more desirable from the hobby standpoint. I just wasn't sure about how practical it is to keep. What kind of fuel mileage can be expected running mostly bobtail? I'm thinking 2-3 MPG? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    On the vent window frame/forward window track. Can those be changed fairly easily or do I need to just look for a driver's door? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It would pretty much just be a hobby truck. I might occasionally tow locally, but not really anything a 1 ton can't handle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Does mack call the continental flatheads EN401 and EN402? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It all seems original. I'm no expert by any means, but it's a flathead inline 6 and a duplex trans. Most of the sheet metal is solid except for the cab floor needs a patch or two. The glass is pretty rough though and the driver door window track is bent.the door itself is perfect though. The truck was drivable until it was parked a few years ago. It is complete, nothing obvious missing. Is it worth fixing the gas motor or would it be better to put something like a 237 in it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hello all. I am looking at buying a '62 B-42. I'm new to the old truck world and am wondering about parts availability, what is a fair price for the truck, ect. Any help or advice you can give to a beginner would be appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
