1980 Superliner V8 440hp
Mark T replied to Supermutt's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
😏 question like this requires pictures . Solely for the sake of making an accurate assessment ...... or we all just love pictures . -
Try that. This dude'll school ya on two sticks.

Probably my fault Bob. I'm not too familiar with sending links.
-
Pretty sure he's the real thing , and not 70 years old.

How about this guy ???? Watch _The GREATest 2 sticks shifting video of all time!_ on YouTube.eml

B-73 Restoration
Mark T replied to mattb73lt's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Not much chance of it not running. Not much else that hasn't been replaced or serviced . You're going to be surprised at how smooth that will run. -

Looks like it's ready to start. Did you have it running yet ? -
That's a very popular show OD. Lots of nice trucks there. I don't make it as often as I'd like to, but I'm sure you'd see a familiar face or ten there.

They look to be old Rockwells. Maybe even from the Timken era ??? Not sure what model. Still seems like it should work, especially if you freshen it all up like you said.

Half inch... isn't it ?

I might be wrong, but I think the adaptor you're describing for the Nuway is the same as the one for a Hendrickson. He's talking about using an Airliner. That seems like an easy one to use as a single axle. See them all the time. Might be a challenge to get the drive line down to the level of the pinion though as compared to Mack top load double reductions. Fairly large drop compared to wheel base.

Teflon tape usage
Mark T replied to skydawg's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Rol loc makes short work of cleaning it off. Didn't have them back then either. -
Teflon tape usage
Mark T replied to skydawg's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Joey, back then it was commonly referred to as "shellac" (lol) everything was going to leak if you didn't use the shellac on it. Least around here in this area anyway. -
Pictures are always good. I'm sure someone could make a suggestion.

I just wanna know if the chassis is gonna venture down to Macungie (I'm pretty sure it's gonna run) -
I actually burst out laughing at that one. And just think, the (manshed) sticker probably has some meaning we're not aware of.

I know..... she's hot right ????

237 bucking/ very sensitive throttle
Mark T replied to b61fred's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Charley's gone. Dick Laing up in Binghamton got absorbed by D & W . I don't think the old Allentown Mack does it anymore. The others ??? IDK. -
237 bucking/ very sensitive throttle
Mark T replied to b61fred's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Yes..... not his first . We don't have a pump guy here anymore. The go to guy in my area here passed away a little while back, and I don't think the Mack dealer in Allentown has the pump shop anymore. -
And taking their foot off the gas peddle is NOT an option.

No goats 🦌 were harmed in the making of the videos (lol) I think Fred may have played us all a little here (in a good way) Seems like this wasn't the first time he's had a governor apart. Great stuff no matter. Like I said before, fewer and fewer people are capable of making such repairs. Thanks for sharing and explaining. -
Never know. Us guys in the dump trucks .....
-
Volvo should make rainbow colored sealant. Seems like they can get toothpaste in a tube like that. So RTV shouldn't be too difficult 😁

Yes Bob....they believe the head should be in pristine condition for when the hormone therapy or anti depressant meds come into the picture. There's a brief overlap between a kid on a bike and the meds in that state.
