  1. I have had very bad luck as well with exide . They are going out of business. I sell napa batteries at my shop and have had very good luck so far.
  2. Hey Vinney you better get your checkbook out and save the ole girl from a boat ride. Look who's back:)
  3. Thanks Jim ! I put my heart and soul into building that truck . It is nice to see people who know how much it takes to make a truck look like that. Now I have to get my rs 700 looking like that that's my next truck I'm going to do one for myself to enjoy !
  4. The truck I am referring to with factory aluminum rails is not the one in the pic but a different truck we did. It had complete aluminum rails front to back . We changed them and put brand new complete steel rails in it one complete rail front to back. They were factory oem frame rails we ordered. They come pre drilled back to the fuel tanks and the rest were drilled by hand . The one in the picture originally had 1/4in steel rails in it .I put in two new oem steel rails in that truck 3/8in thick the truck is a rw600 the customer wanted the 700 rails installed in it that is what the one in the pics has in it
  5. Yes he is the owner I did the truck for. Do you know him? We also did the other magnum he has as well. have you seen that one ?it used to belong to a guy Ed Roop it had aluminum frame rails In that one we had to put steel rails in it the aluminum rails were shot.
  6. It is in Johnstown , ohio he is a friend of mine he has two of them .
  7. Hey josh here are the pics of the 85 magnum I completely rebuilt in 2003 . New frame rails it had camelback now is on new way air.i literally rebuilt every peice of this truck .
  8. Welcome aboard! I'm happy to hear of your interest in Mack trucks, they are the best. And the f model is one of my favorite as well I hope you find a v8 model. There are many folks here with a great wealth of knowledg and everyone is always eager to help each other that is what is so cool about this forum . Have a ball looking for your truck and keep us posted with your findings:)
  9. One thing I have learned common sense isn't common nowadays !
  10. Yea josh I do , but not on my iPad now I'll post some in a few days.macktrucks4 my rs has camelback with shocks factory and I have seen others not sure what good shocks are on camelback though
  11. Yea the cab had red headliners . And sleepers had white that's what I wrote I agree
  12. Cool truck I like it! What's the old binder sittin beside it? That looks interesting to
  13. The interior color is right all magnums came with red interior if it had a sleeper the headliners were white on magnum models only. The seats are correct and have the magnum logo in the seats. Yea truck paper always list Mack's with wrong info I've seen ch listed as r model and so forth. I have done two complete ground up restorations on magnums both were 1985 models . I'll have to post pics of the sometime both are show winners . I have a guy wanting me to do a rw liberty edition restoration think I'm going to pass on that one she is rough
  14. Firemack, thanks for the help I will check into that .
  15. Looking for a good dry van box don't care if has metal or frp sides as Long as roof is good. Want it for a storage shed in 16 ft to 28' range close to northwest ohio
  16. The key is cool ! I have the same original key with my rs. Don't be afraid of the v8 they are great if you take care of them. That's what gives it the cool factor a dm with a cummins takes the cool factor way down plus the v8 sound is like music to your ears
  17. Awesome truck ! I will have one someday they are so dam cool!
  18. Name: Black R 797 Date Added: Owner: Mack man 1973 Mack man 1973
