      Thank You for sharing the picture ,, yours is Nice! Mine has a 237 Mack Diesel, 5 speed. It was originally from Baltimore, then a volunteer fire department in East Tennessee got it. A friend of mine owns a rock quarry here in Western North Carolina, he got it because it made his insurance go down, maybe 15 years ago, it was all working. Then the fire department built a sub station near by and they didn’t need it, they let it freeze a lot of the pump. And let it set out and rust the chrome, paint is bad, I removed the bed and had a drive shaft made, I have a reg flatbed on it now, but you gave me a idea, yours looks great. This thing only has 89,000 org miles. But I have WAY too many projects! Not sure what I’ll do with it. 

       

       

      The hood is good, but the paint is cracked terrible, I have been trying paint remover to loosen it up .

      That is a good looking H model , I notice it has those doors under the sleeper . I don't see a lot of them , I got mine off a H that was setting behind a warehouse in South Carolina , the owner told me to take anything I wanted , They were in good shape , I just got lucky , I don't know if it was a factory order item , we had our H for years before I found those . Thanks for the Photo
