Out of likes, Hobert! She's looking great! Got to be fun to drive with a wheelbase like that,I mean "smooth" fun!  Al

Thanks,     Goes down the road really nice and straight.   Guess my tape measure held out when I put it back together.    According to GPS tops out at 62.7 mph @ 2100.  A little tighter steering cut would be nice though.          

And don't forget the tv people are more interested in ratings then being accurate.  

The bread thing is sad but true.   I deliver bread and as soon as someone mentions snow it's crazy how much our orders increase.  

No idea what this is had a buddy text it to me.    Kinda neat looking.   

Looks like white out conditions to me.

I would love to make it to that one.....if you don't mind seeing it with no onterior  (OOPPs , interior I meant) or front sheet metal.

The way your work looks I wouldn't mine looking at the way it is. 

I got my quad shirt.    It's a decent shirt.    It's not near as heavy as the carhart T's I wear for work but decent.       I didn't try it on before I washed it but after it fits.   It's not a very big xl, but a 2x  would have been way to big.

Nfi.           Good part is I only drive 210 mile a night and 95% of it is 2 lane back roads.    

Mine dosent need heat or air, and march would be fine for my deadline.

Same here.  We have freightliners and volvos.  Our volvos run better but ride like shit.    I'm glad I got the freightliner though.   Worst part is being shut off at 63mph and that's on the cruise.   Only 61 on the pedal.

I drove a vision a few years back and my headlight rocker switch would almost seem like it melted internally.      If I remember right there was some kind of upgrade mack did to it and it solved the issue.   

I like the red racing stripe.   

Got one saved on my eBay account with Pa as the background.   

It definatly makes you think about this stuff when it's family.     My little sister was deployed to Iraq a few years ago over Christmas.      It brings a whole to view to things.   

All the bottom ports are the same and all the top ports are the same.    The valve lets air from the bottom half of the valve travel up towards the foot pedal and exit through the top ports.   

I replied to the antique listing first. I can check better in a day or two.  

Just replaced mine.     If you have issues there about $40 in ebay.     I will be in trouble if I go to garage today but if I remember correctly and going off your first picture where it's upside down.    All of the "top" ports are supply like a junction block.  The one big line feeds it and I know my trailer hand valve supply came from there.  Think I plugged the rest.     The next section down went to the brakes- front axle, drive axle, and tractor protection valve for trailer brakes.       The large round opening on end acted as the exhaust.      This is going off memory only!

I have my brake treadle valve here.Someone else disassemble it for me and orbit to label the ports and which hoses go where.I thinking that the large one on the top of the first picture is the in port and all the rest would be the exhaust ports?

Merry merry and happy happy to all. 

Now that you got the headliner and back pannle all figured out I'd take a set for mine.  

Looks like the front of a new 1500 dodge pickup.

I don't think the outside to outside spring measurement matters. more center pin to center pin. you could always put spacer plates under the u bolts on the side of the springs. most light b421's I have seen had 1/2 narrower spring packs than most B models and had 1/4 spacer plates on each side of the spring pack to take up the gap between the U bolts

That's my plan.   By measuring from the outside of one spring to the inside of the othet I got the center measurement without removing my bump stops to actually see the center pin.   I thought about making bushings that would slide on the u bolt to take up the difference in spring width.   Do have a pic. of what mack used on the b42's?
