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. 

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. 

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
