    Beautiful Truck!

    Yes Brocky we were Blessed to all come through the Hurricane safely. Lucky my photo album was at my house and most of my Dads pictures were hanging high on the wall, I had a few LJ manuals get wet, and a whole cabinet full of Mack , Cat , Cummins, Detroit manuals 40 years of collecting, swept completely away,,, God knew I needed to stop working on trucks and just enjoy them and life .

    Y’all got me thinking about my old office phone, I found a picture of it, just to show how tough they were, the flood washed my desk through the wall, I kept the old phone setting on top just for sentimental value, if you look closely it never moved!, I brought it to my shed during the cleaning. and just to stay on topic, my ash tray full of Dogs , long ear and a couple short ears.

    lol, We had that same phone, with that same green! We had a 3 party line until 1982 ,, Teenagers would go nuts today. YES ,, You Could slam that receiver down and it made you feel good when you were mad! .. I would love to see a picture of that Mack Receive cover.

    One thing leads to another,,, Steering Box was leaking,, and I’m sure it has a ton of miles on it so while the axle was out I figured I would go ahead and replace it also.

    Hopefully it got restored! Ashamed to let grow up in the weeds. I would love to have one.

    A guy I worked with years ago had a set of Salt and Pepper shakers ( Bulldogs) with Mack on their collar, he showed them to me, said his Uncle bought some Mack cement mixers years ago and the dealership gave them to his Aunt. I’ve never seen any since.

    I’m not sure, I have some old issues but I can’t remember, Might trying contacting them. They still have some old ones in stock .

    Very nice collection! Good explanation.
  10. 1961H67
    Yes , it doesn’t take much slack in the trans for those long sticks to be very sloppy, They can hit the opening in the floor, I’ve had to heat them and bend,, I’ve also seen them get bent from lowering the cab .

    Thank You, I’ve seen some advertisements on them , I wonder if they are the same quality as a original hood , I think the one on my 86 Freedom is a aftermarket, It seems thinner than the one on my 88 Superliner

    Yes, post some pictures, I have a 1958 H Model that I parted out if you need something that you can’t find.
  13. 1961H67
    Ok , thank you
  14. 1961H67
    Nice ,, were did you get it, I might get a new one for my Freedom
  15. 1961H67
    A little progress,,, This was supposed to be just an axle swap, Both tanks were leaking, so here we go.
  16. 1961H67
    I think I will,,,The next time we are at a show remind me to show you a video on my phone ( dash cam) of me hitting a Black Bear with my Western Star,, He hit hard on the bumper where it bolts to the frame, felt like he came through the radiator,,, He got up and ran!,

    Thank You, it was on the truck when we bought it, I was thinking about putting a original extended bumper on it, but I would have to find some original mounts , the parts truck I took the 18,000 axle from had all the mounts and bumper but they were already sold. I might polish this bull bar and put it back, the quicker I get this truck back on the road, the quicker I can work on our Freedom

    Nice! It’s good to see a before and after picture, great progress. ( the front bumper mounts on your frame looks identical to my LJ .)
  19. 1961H67
    Im going to try to swap out the axle in a few days, I got this one cleaned, painted hopefully it will go smoothly, One thing for sure, I’ll find know all the hurdles of going from a 14k to 18k .
  20. 1961H67
    Yes, he sent me the information on the magazine, He did a great job researching! I have a lot of copies from the 90s and 2000s that my Dad had, but I missed out on a few years! Good Reading.

    If anyone that is interested in the Magnums and Freedoms can get their hands on this May/ June 2014 Wheels of Time it has a Very Good article in it !

    We had a B Model dump, tandem, I might be able to get the guy to take some pictures of the rear suspension, I’ll send you some on the LJ I have, they hauled houses with it , it’s got the heaviest suspension I have ever seen on a early 50s on road truck.
  24. 1961H67
    I know it’s off topic,,, but I passed a Chevy Dealership in Melbourne FL about 30 minutes ago,,, And I couldn’t resist! There is a Quarter Million $ ! Back on this Superliner ,, That thing is Definitely detailed. The price to get that truck to that level would be astronomical! I had a lot of paint and supplies get washed down the creek and it hurt as much as the tools did.
  25. 1961H67
    I don’t have a B but I have a tandem 50 LJ with double frame and camel back if that would help
