Now I wish I was going too
66dc75 replied to 66dc75's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
It got shipped down early to get loaded with the Manhattan. Very convenient to have multiple trailers going between Mass and Florida every week. But they did make the trip down old school in a 67 Acar daycab . I would probably break down before I hit Ct. Herb can hop in anything and go anywhere and not have a problem. -

Ran like a top all the way to west palm from Weymouth Jim -
A couple of my friends Herb Fleck and Victor Bernan are bringing Herb's just finished Mack Manhattan and Victor 's ED tow tow truck to Des Moines. The Manhattan was at Macungie last year mocked about 60 percent done. Looks real nice now, ain't gonna see another one I don't belive. Really wish I was going too but I like Macungie better than any other national show.

I went to a pizza hut all you could eat lunch buffet. All I could eat was one slice

When it comes to Pizza Hut I'd rather eat the box it came in than the pizza. Sorry to hear of your unfortunate dinner event.

Always wanted to go to the Big Texan. My kid went for a roadtrip from Boston to Phoenix with his friend and texted me a photo of his steak at the Big Texan. Rotten kid.........

Putting it away looks like folding a map.

Didn't get a chance to look too close underneath them as my wife was waiting in the car. Yeah I was happy that they didn't do anything irreversible to the EF

Yup, business trip to Vegas for the sign trade show to see my customers. Work work work. Plus the marathon is the most boring thing I can think of.

Way Out Wayroc C Model Mack
66dc75 replied to j hancock's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Used to see a lot more of them 15 -20 years ago. When I first met Merk (R model Mack pickup truck that's at Macungie every year ) he had 3 of them lined up out back in Shrewsbury Ma. They are long gone now. I don't think the Wayroc truck got driven much they said it was like having concrete tires it rode so hard -
Way Out Wayroc C Model Mack
66dc75 replied to j hancock's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I think that Barrington show was about the only onehe ever took it to. Walter Balchunas, an old truck mechanic friend of mine next door to my old shop did the mechanical work on that when it was being restored. -
Way Out Wayroc C Model Mack
66dc75 replied to j hancock's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Wow I didn't realize Wayne sold that truck. It was parked in a garage 3 miles down the street from my house. It was the only C model I've ever sat in, didn't get to drive it though. -
My dad was the milkman fir a couple of years in the mid sixties. He went back to building houses and from the Divco to an Autocar dump. I used to drive by the Divco dealer (Whittemore Truck Sales Brockton Ma) twice a day going to and from work in the early eighties. They still had a bunch of used ones there for sale and ones being repaired. Went to our son and daughter in law''s house Saturday and noticed they had a milk box by the garage door, home milk delivery alive still.

My first car was a 65 impala 230 straight six with a powerglide slow as hell but I loved that car. Wish it had that hood ornament. Had an 04 Impala too, real good car keep an eye on the coolant level they almost always need intake gaskets by 100k.

Who does this?
66dc75 replied to Lmackattack's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Doctors could use that photo to induce vomiting -
Actually both, cut all the rust out but didn't want to do 5-6 little patches so put some rust reformer stuff on and welded an overlay on. Hard to tell from the photos but that door has a pretty thick skim coat of bondo on it from a previous paint job, overlaying brought the metal closer to the same level as the rest of the door. I was planning on being there yesterday but the others guys couldn't go and I haven't got much done lately, hoping to get the fenders on this week.

Got a few more small things done, interior lights, front shocks, patched the passenger door and made and installed kickpanels with speakers. I need to get under the dash and finish tying the wiring harness up. I got some gas struts off amazon for the hood. I held the randomly ordered mounting bracket up to the Mack bracket that was on the hood and THE HOLES MATCHED UP PERFECTLY! The pistons worked out great, they don't push the hood up when it's closed and holds it up just right. Found some time to relocate the toolboxes on the new crane truck from on top to under the body.

Buy that thing and that 63' fifth wheel camper and hook it all together

Fired up the vinyl plotter yesterday and put some lettering on it. One of these days I'm going to learn how to hand letter and stripe.

Need help identifying Cummins engine
66dc75 replied to Tony Ingram's topic in Engine and Transmission
NH 250 was non turbo and did not have external injector lines, just a line to the front head and a return from the rear. -
Could have had an NH220 too in those trucks the engine was laid over to the right.
