Its all set. What i was looking for was what terminal on the cab junction box on the firewall you wire the binary switch to. In case anyone else is ever looking its the #4 terminal on the one closest to the driver door. What threw me was the A/C thermostat was also bad so when i was testing them I wasn't gettin power to it.

These trucks now will NEVER work half that hard before going to the Hyundai foundry. You are lucky to get a full week's work out of them without derate or some emissions related towing. People here are buying up the pre-2011 trucks and putting a bit of money into them so they can rack up some miles and not sit on the side of the road.

pre Nov.07, The late 07 to 11's were the worst with emissions.

Getting the A/C going in my Superliner. The truck has the later A/C unit inside in it, but the compressor was gone when I bought it. Where do the wires from the compressor connect to. There appears to be nothing on the motor side of the firewall for the A/C.

Are you gonna show  it or work it every day 

Well, it’s not going to work, but I don’t know if I can show it either in the crazy world we live in.

I believe the one day brockway show has since been cancelled.

The vin specific decal (white one) was like a paper based decal. My decal guy couldn’t replicate that exactly, but then again truck restorations are not judged on the lawn at pebble beach, so it is close enough. Decals were made by a local decal shop off of text messaged pictures with measurements. They turned out good and were fairly cheap to have made. We ended up replicating all the original information decal for the whole truck on a superliner restoration.

Just had some of these made up. They are in different locations on different trucks. Almost at the whim of who applied them.

Would that be the same as the red they used on chassis? I'll paint my chassis Mack red, I haven't looked up the paint code yet (I'm using Axalta/Dupont).

chassis and cab would be the same color.

Diameter is 1 inch. Length of tube is 2.5 inches long including where it fattens out at the bottom.

Bill Mcgrew will do the truck right.

the cast cones are way better looking then chrome covers. If your set on it, weld a bolt to the center of the cone and drill a hole through the chrome cover and sandwich it between a nut on the inside and a chrome acorn nut on the outside. Thats how I have seen it done (and personally removed)

now part of the Mahan Collection!

Copper Slag

That was fake news. I priced one then and it was about what they are now.

Didn't he sell the truck ?

i think I remember that could be wrong though 

I think he had a B-81 that he sold.

those engines run real good with a Stromberg SF-3 set up properly. I switch from a zenith and it made a huge difference.

Thanks so much for your help. That's a great start . I have the motor turning over now with spark. Any thoughts on the transmission in the picture that is in it?

what do you have for a carb?

No, but I am going down to NJ to see Gary Mahan in about a week. I will ask him, and he will certainly know.

Also, on those later serial numbers the 4AC signifies that it is a 4 cylinder and  6AC signifies a 6 cylinder 

medium duty 6-9 ton built between feb. 1932 and aug. 1934. I would guess a late 32 or early 33.
