I am still here...but yeah, still busier than hell! We are short on people, everything is back ordered and to top that off, I just got back from a month off with pneumonia and heart afib. Happy to report that I am on the road to recovery and doing fine! Sorry if I missed any messages, I will try to plow through them and get caught up! How is every one else doing?

Mike was a great guy and an old Mack expert! He was one of the first guys I talked to when I got into the Mack business many years ago! He will be missed by many including all of us here at Watt's Truck Center! RIP sir...

Thanks to all the hard work Mr. Tom Ganaway puts into the registry, I am happy to announce that the 21st edition is posted on our Registry mini-site! You can click the link below or anytime from above in the nav bar! https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/registry/

We were not able to make it this year...we have a couple guys down and not enough people to run the shop and the show tent! If anyone needed something and missed us this year, let us know and we can ship it right out!

Thanks guys...I'm checking these leads out! I also talked to the OP of this thread...he is very knowledgeable too!

Bringing this thread back to life for more info!! A guy here at Watt's is buying a 1962 M54A1 with a Mack 673 in it but the title says it is a Reo truck...is this true or a title mistake? We are looking for more info on this bad boy!

So, who's coming this Saturday?

I wont be there this year due to other obligations but my Watt's Truck Center crew will be there with the parts tent and novelties! Be sure to stop by and see what's new!

We are looking for a show headliner! Any one available on Aug 21st, 2021?? Rubber Duck Truck Duel Truck Smokey and the Bandit? Cars - The Movie We are open to suggestions!!

Wasn't a hack...just spammers that joined the forum and spammed our PM system. There are limits to how many PM's a new member can send so they were unable to spam everyone! This will always be a possibility on any internet forum of Facebook group...when you see spam, just report it and we will take care of it! Thanks!

Watts Truck Center wont be there this year! Short notice & short handed kept us away but we are still selling and shipping restoration parts! Give us a call all next week for BIG discounts an any parts you need!!

I liked Tapatalk too but it is owned by China and they use it to steal content and other data from forums to use as click bait or god knows what on other websites. We pulled the plug because it is a security risk.

@farmer52 Photos are finally up on our site! https://www.wattstruckcenter.com/gallery/index.php/Truck-Equipment-Shows/13th-Annual-Show---Sep-2020

Yes, it should be good to go now!

Ok, I logged in as a member and I can see it...working on a fix now. Thanks for the heads up!

@doubleclutchinweasel I am not seeing any issues...is this still happening for you?

It is actually a default theme from IPB so when they make changes, we get them, LOL! The other fellow above was talking about the mobile format. No problem! We enjoy doing it! I know everyone hates change, but we have to keep the software up to date or risk security issues!

It's not a new format...we actually removed Tapatalk due to concerns of off sure data mining and security issues. Tapa is owned and operated by the Chinese. I can re-enable it but I need to do some more research first.

We did just get a minor security upgrade that contained a few visual changes. I'll have more time to point them out on Tuesday but if something is wrong or you can't find what you are looking for, just ask here! Thanks, Barry

I actually turned Tapatalk off due to some reports that it is owned by a Chinese company and may have security issues. Also, the new forum software is completely responsive to phone and tablet screens so Tapatalk is redundant. I am curious to know how many members actually use Tapatalk also?

Yes, I checked the PAI site out but no listings for a 2nd size spring.

Does anyone know what the part numbers are for the 2 different size valve springs to fit a Mack E9? I know 1 is 575GC211A and I think it is the bigger size...I need a smaller diameter spring.

No way in hell will I EVER wear a dog cone! They are already trying to muzzle us with masks! Nope. No Way! Ain't gonna happen!
