1961H67

Yes I never noticed, but looking at some Emeryville pictures online that top door bracket looks the same, must have started on the West Coast and spread back East, I have old pictures of my Dad and the Anderson & Hennis freight trucks, around 1960 , all the H63 pictures I can find have West Coast mirrors, they had some EQs and A50s still had the One arm small mirrors . 1960 & 61 .

Thank you, yes I would be interested in talking to him, I can’t really tell what style they are, Thank You!

Yes! I’m going to try to make that show, not sure if I’ll get a truck down, but would be a good thawing out trip anyway,, I would Love to see That V8 LT there!

Thank you, I’ll let you know, I have a chrome set off the LJ ( needs re chrome) they have 3 bolt holes on the top door mount, like the bottom picture you sent, my H has a new set of stainless R model mirrors, 4 bolt holes in top . The LT has a new one on the right and the fellow I got it from said he’s got a new one for the left,,, when he finds it, I’m not giving up, he found all the NOS hood chrome after a week. Randall Howell’s B 73 has a set of stainless like the steel ones you have, There use to be a fab shop in South Carolina that made them for L doors. I’m not sure what was mostly used on a B73 , I don’t think they had “ West Coast “ mirrors until the early 60s ? I’ve seen several different styles, I remember my Dad talking about “ West Coast Mirrors “ like they were Power Steering or Air Conditioning! Probably a big deal compared to those “ Snuff Box “ Mirrors.

That’s is luck ! I have a real good set for the LJ but I bought a LT that has regular mirrors, so I thought I would put a set of these on and have a spare set. NOS is always luck when you find it. The fellow I got my LTH from had bought the 6 pieces of hood trim and all emblems years ago, I was lucky to get it. I’m going to put it back on the hood as it should be, he said when they restored it in 1975 they made the hood sides out of aluminum, ( and did a great job) but didn’t have good trim or emblems, they got it but never installed it. I got the old hood sides but they are not in good shape, Maybe with the aluminum hood we can call it a LT1/2 L ! s

Got a few hours over the Thanksgiving weekend to work on the LJ .Got my temp & oil psi hooked up and some of the copper air lines put back on . I bought a extra set of old Mack mirrors, I’ve got them apart for new glass and stainless screws ,,, I’m chipping away,, Slowly!

You did great considering the hazardous conditions ( Good clothes & Waiting Wife) !

O Yes! Very nice! That will be a sharp addition to your LT ! That’s kinda ironic I saw your post, just yesterday I went back over to the guy I bought my LT from ( about 2 hours Away) He told me when I bought it he had more parts he would “Round Up “ , When I got there he gave me All new chrome for the hood, 2 Dogs , 2 Mack Emblems and the 6 pic of stainless trim ! All NOS . Dusty boxes and all. Hopefully one day when I’m down in Florida I can swing by and check your LT out, can’t wait to see you get it going again.

Glad you have a good block & crank, When You get it back together and you will never have to worry about it again! Love the M715 ! You know that Mack’s & Jeep’s are my weakness, I can’t pass one up !

My 68 R Firetruck , Bought new by the City of Baltimore

Yep same filter, the flap just reroutes the suction from top bonnet to the hose under the hood ,, Good engineering from back in the day!

I have a 1968 R Firetruck that has a control on the dash that switch’s where the intake draws from,, like Y’all are talking about, pretty neat setup.

I’m sure I have the invoice, I’ll dig it out.I do know I had a new Water Pump, from some old NOS stuff I bought but the shaft was a different length . The one I got from H&H P was correct, I’ll find the part number

I just put a water pump on my C -600 a few months ago, I got it from Hi way & Heavy Parts , I think it was a couple hundred bucks, working great.

We’ll keep trying, I got a couple of hours of work on the LJ today, hooking up the compression release, had to modify the pivot and mount because of the Jake brake installation, all good now,, move on to the next ,, one thing at a time.

I’ve looked at about a dozen different LJ fenders and the are several styles, my right fender has the box for the air filter.

I looked at them, they are in great shape, but I think they are off a fire truck with 20 inch wheels, and wouldn’t work. That’s a fair price, I would buy them in a minute if they would fit my LJ , Thanks so much for sharing the post.

Thank you, I’ll see if I can find them.

No I didn’t see it , when was it .?

Great,Thanks Matt , I remember ordering something from both places from advice you gave me last year! I have got TOO MANY projects going on! Can’t remember where I got what !

Sounds like it’s going to work out good, glad there is no block or crank damage.

Very interesting! I’m trying to track down some history on a 1955 LTH I bought a couple weeks ago. As to where it was delivered new . And what the original engine was. I am going to do a post on it ,when I get more info, I have the history of it from 1964 till now, but am working on the late 50s ( according to the original owner’s great nephew) it was sent to Alaska, and was refitted with a 318 to use in the colder conditions ,, I’m still working on finding more information. Thanks for the picture of the glider kit!

I’m looking for the clips, fasteners, not sure what they are called that hold the 3 chrome trim pieces on the hood, I’m going through a lot of my L stuff, trying to pick the best and some of those clips are missing, I haven’t looked at any automobile clips yet, just thought someone might have ran into the same issue, thanks Dean

Yep brings back many memories, I had several good teachers on the old Cummins, running around those o rings with your pocket screwdriver was a must.

Back in the day Cummins made a “Plug “ that we would drop in the liners to check for a rolled o ring when we were rebuilding, I was in my 20s and I would question how that rubber o ring would distort a steel liner . The older guys would tell me if that plug hit a tight spot,, pull that liner back out and you will find a rolled o ring .
