  1. Sounds like Lewis Black as a truck driver
  2. Couple of photos from the museum. I thought I had more. Don't miss it we usually stop in there Friday morning on the way to Macungie
  3. Factory is shut down that day. they have the assembly line roped off and you walk along the line on one side, then up the other side. It has become more abbreviated over the years, you used to come in at the loading docks where the parts come in and could go all the way to the other end of the plant. Now the tour is just the center section of the factory. The Mack museum used to be located in a fenced off area inside the plant next to the gift shop which was convenient. A couple of years they had new cl's that you could take for a test drive in the parking lot if you had a CDL. It seems management must have hired Disney execs as now you have to exjt thru the gift shop to get to the shuttle buses.
  4. Last year on the shuttle bus to the plant, the Mack rep told us that they were not going to have plant tours for the next 3 years due to refitting for the new cabs. Anybody know if there is any truth to this?
  5. They cut it down to haul large boulders. It actually belongs to John Polilio in Stoughton Ma.
  6. Didn't catch that it was a 2200
  7. https://boston.craigslist.org/sob/hvo/5930744467.html Carlot, Here's one. Probably have to modify floorpan and swap dash.
  8. I should have made patterns and started a side business. They don't look factory by any stretch of the imagination or even really professionally don't but it looks pretty good and I made them in about 3 hours for about $40 bucks in materials.
  9. Yup that's Kevin's he puts a lot of miles on that pickup
  10. Was it this one? https://goo.gl/images/PdGa1K
  11. Yup actually had to throw some more tranny fluid in
  12. Got it to work, first time posting to you tube or embedding video.
  13. Video of first drive Don't know if this link will work firstride.htm
  14. Got the back cab panel and headliner done seats in, and kickpanels with speakers made. Took truck on maiden voyage in the parking lot this morning, 6 months later than I thought I would.
  15. Got new windshields in, really excited about that. (easily excited I guess) Got the back cab panel done, now on to the headliner. A friend of mine gave me a 50" x 100 yard vinyl about 10 years ago, did the seats in the A=car, golf cart and a few other things and hardly put a dent in it. I'll be covering everything in black vinyl for years.
  16. Cleaning up my mess need to get rid of some stuff I'm never going to use. B model square tank brackets tanks junk 673 intake, exhaust and water manifolds. couple of heads in unknown condition, push rods, valve covers. Located 20 miles south of Boston Make an offer Just don't want to throw anything away until I know nobody wants it
  17. Did anyone let the marketing genius that wrote this press release in on the fact that the "new" Chevy and GMC low cab forward trucks are NPRs with a different badge on the front just like they always were before the GM Isuzu hiatus? Mine says GMC on the front and on the horn button but it says Isuzu on every sticker and data plate on the truck. It seems from the article that they are suggesting it is a different truck competing with Isuzu. If you go for the gas motor you get a GM 6.0 and a GM transmission. I don't know about other areas but we have an Isuzu truck dealer within 20 miles in any direction. The best thing about this though is that while they were apart, GM dealers could get parts for the trucks but there were issues with warrantees (friend that works parts at local GMC/ Isuzu dealer told me this, I'm assuming he was right) so this should take care of that. It seems that they are saying that Chevy dealers wont work on your NPR unless you glue a bowtie to the front.
