Almost was late, but happy birthday.

Get used to cruise'n at 65

The axle surgeon might even have a way to make it work. Maybe even restore the threads on it enough to get by. Paul's right about it not being such a bad thing if the rest is tightened up. Not perfect, but it'd go considerably longer than you might think

From the looks of the pictures, someone put a trunion stand in that truck already. If you have the body off, you're not that far from just replacing it with another Mack one.

Those stickers are gonna look awesome on both sides of the hood.

TRP drums are junk ??? How about the gold air chambers that are junk ? Why is it that the guy with the truck has the guys pull him over to see this junk, but the guy's that make and sell it ???? they never have to so much as even warranty it in most cases. It's only brake parts, guess it's no big deal.

Don't worry Jojo, oil companies can buy influence just like anyone else.

Welcome, that truck looks to be in very good shape for it's age. From the pictures ??? looks like it's not rotted and it's hood looks to be nice too. I like it.

They look like something from one of those award plaques or something like that. ( like a quota buster for parts sales ) or when they used to make bulldog ash trays or one of those Mack novelty items. But God they'd be great to put on a truck

New ones don't even look like the old ones. One more thing Volvo couldn't care less about on older trucks.

If these are causing confusion or the risk of someone being mad, I'd take them off your hands for twice what you paid for them (lol) I have no idea what they belong on, but SWEET find . I wonder if they were special for some type of novelty item from back in that era ???

Blends right in on him . One piece of shit on another......this bird's is a wiser choice though

Couldn't go on the way out....hope it wasn't controls too

Gee...... after some friendly advise that worked, think you coulda posted a few pictures (lol) we all like pictures on here.

Yes Bob..... you must have all sorts of credentials to drive a truck and abide by various rules and regulations. Meanwhile The Secretary of Transportation has what (?) experience or special ability ? I wonder if next time I'm stopped or asked anything by anyone of authority if I can just say I'm gay or I wanna be a woman.

One thing I think most guys on this site are fast to overlook..... most anyone who's been around trucking any amount of time has been screwed. In most cases ??? several times. Goes with the territory in some ways. It's easy to take for granted how easy it is to see how lies and deception and being in the right cliques works. Most of us would much rather talk about trucks, or pride in doing jobs with trucks....or anything trucks. We don't often interact with people who aren't on the same wave length as guys like us. So when those in power pull off some of the stuff they do, and people don't get too excited it's really not too surprising. It's a little sickening if you put some thought into it.

It's crazy what a lie'n piece of shit this guy is and he's never called out on it.

That's from all those laborious years of being a truck driver.

WTF put a bra and lipstick on a man, some call it a woman.....put a W on a Freightliner....call it a Western Star. Time we live in.

I think it's northwest of the back mountain area. ( out by Red Rock / Rickets Glen )

Cornpop never had a chance against a warrior like that

What he meant was they want someone who looks down on the guy who gets his hands dirty and knows how to approach repairs to generate the most profit for the dealership. Look on the bright side, "least you're still Joey instead of Joseph

Lots of Jersey guys run 12/24.5s . Not sure what brand they are, but I know a few guys using them. Never heard anything about a really huge difference in the price. Never bought one myself...maybe they are that much more

We had a guy here, used to be the guy that you'd talk to from the phone number for 1 call if you asked for a tech. Good knowledgeable guy that was a real mechanic. Dealer up here had him and when the service manager position became available?? They told him he was probably the best choice for it.....but he wasn't getting it. (WTF) seems more about ability to bill than fix

Exactly who I was thinking.
