  1. Pictures of rebuilding and replacement of the original 230 CID inline 6 engine with a rebuilt 283 CID V-8

    WELL, I FINALLY DID IT! I got the new engine running! http://www.chamberst...uild_032713.MOV And to think my wife thought I'd never get it running again....

  3. Thanks Bob! Yeah, she does beautiful work! I didn't even realize when I took her the seat that she'd put those lines and stuff in it - they sure set it off! I've got more to post - will do so soon! - Todd
  4. A place to document the repairs, modifications, and restoration of my truck.

    Here's the darling lady in Tulsa that did a magnificent job for me - Susie The Seat Maker.

    Here I am on the "receiving end" as we load up the newly rebuilt seat. The lady who did the work was great! The seat has what's called "High Density Foam" underneath, and the back uses "Super Foam", which is a little more giving. BUT it's COMFORTABLE!

    Here's the original bench seat BEFORE it was rebuilt. That old vinyl was AWFUL to sit on in the summer! Lots of duct tape needed to keep it together...

  10. If I could find a pair of really nice ones already cut, that's what I'd have done...
  11. A history in pictures of the transformation from an ordinary Chevrolet pickup into "Mack, Jr.".

    Here's the accelerator pedal, cleaned and freshly repainted, installed with the new genuine MACK floor mat!

    I tried to order a reproduction of the original design full floor mat, but they are no longer made. So, I had to settle for the one for the 1960-63 truck instead. Not bad, though...

    Here's the entire floor covered with the tar-backed foil and then overlaid with sound deadening material.

  15. From the album: "Mackification"

    The doghouse was covered with a tar impregnated paper and had rusted in places where the tar had let loose. I wirewheeled the entire piece, then cleaned, primed, and painted it to match the transmission. Then, I covered it with super-sticky tar-backed foil, as seen here.

  16. Yes, but those keys have been cut - I'm (we're ) looking for uncut blanks.
  17. I talked to our long-time locksmith here in Tulsa and gave him the numbers off of the pictures of a couple of the "Bullgog" keys I cound pictures of online. He said he was 80% sure that they were the same key as the B&S, except for the logo, of course. He said he could determine for sure if he had one. So - if anyone has one already cut, why not take it to a locksmith and see? As for having a run made - I would tend to think that would be expensive, and that the people who now own Mack might get upset.
  18. The qustion, then, would be - What type key was the originalm and which B&S type does it match?
  19. Any response to this? I'd buy some. Also - does anyone know what key style they were? Were they the old B&S key type like older GM cars and trucks used?
  20. Thanks - when I get it all installed and cleaned, it'll look a lot nicer.

    And, finally, here's the complete assembly, minus the return spring, which I have to figure out where I put it...

    This is the end that attaches to the lever coming through the firewall from the gas pedal.

    I wanted something that was more reliable and less easy to wear out than the old-style throttle rods and clips, so I chose to make a new throttle rod using aluminum rod, threading it, and installed spherical linkages to each end like the clutch rods I used. I've not tested it in operation, but I think it will work well. This is carb end.
