  1. Yea I’m still going with the Coca Cola , even though it’s a black and white picture, you can tell the fenders on the ho-jo picture were black, and when I started driving this LJ in the late 70s the fenders were yellowish orange, I just have never found a picture of it with a Coke logo on it , The fellow that drove it from 1966 to 1969 here in Asheville for Pioneer Welding Supply confirmed the colors I am using were correct, and Pioneer Purchased it in 1963 and replaced the engine with a new reman 220 , but never repainted it . The state of North Carolina has the information on the owners before 1963 ,, But will not tell me, I have written them a letter and the reply is they can’t give out confidential information. As for the fenders, I’m sure I’ll get motivated and find or make me a good set when I get that far along.

  2. Replying to Bob ,, Still not sure who’s idea to paint the truck these colors when it was new , all the old guys I new said it was Coke , But it also looks like the old Ho-Jo picture. I’m going back with the original colors. As for the fenders that will probably be my last project on this ( and I am not excited about it, you are correct! ) Thanks for the complainants! 

    Vlad , Yes you are 100% correct about the input of the people on this site, I have already met some in person, and talked to. Great people I would have never knew had it not been for these old Mack’s.

  3. Thank You, The seam is still there, just not as noticeable ,when  I replaced the cab back I put some filler around it just to seal it up good, I have got the trim, and have already pre drilled for it , hopefully I can get the top painted white in the next week or so and probably go ahead and install that and the lights. (  i was over your way Monday, hauling equipment with one of our Superliners to the new hospital )
