    Moving Forward again! Looking Great!
  2. 1961H67
    Worked on running boards yesterday evening, mine were trashed, got the right one from my parts truck, I have been collecting parts for years for LJs ( most are pretty bad) but someone had started making a left side, I just had to finish by cutting the mounting bracket’s off my old one and weld to it . One more hurdle out of the way.

    Still looking great, minor bump in the road,, The bright side is the cab is not on yet ! Good thinking to check everything as you go !

    My goodness that looks great! I Love the shifter boot !

    Thanks for the encouragement! I have started it and popped the jakes on after reving it , definitely a different sound with the backdrop. I’ll try to stay focused on finishing the cab this summer.

    Yes that Cab back was a lifesaver! It’s ready to prime, it’s been cold around for a few days that is why I moved on to the fenders, I took the bottoms to the blaster today that should make welding go smooth. Maybe by Friday I can shoot a coat of primer on the cab.

    The inside of your H is going to be beautiful, I love the green paint, Here is a picture of my H dash it’s a 61 . My C is a 65 and Hennis Freight painted it a light green ( not sure what was factory for a C) I hope I can see your H up close when you get it done,,, Nice Work !

    Cab is ready to prime, starting on the fenders, got them both cut , now just measuring before finial cut ,,

    Your Paint will probably hold up much better then the rattle can factory Cummins Old Gold I used ,, I can’t tell any difference in color . My LJ /220 had a 24volt starter, I put a 12v 42 MT , just check the drive size and some use a spacer , I flipped mine over to keep the wiring under out of the way. That B73 is showing progress every day!

    The “ Old Cummins Gold “ is close to Cat Yellow, My 220 has a tag where it was a recon engine by Cummins Atlantic 12/1963 , and it was painted Cummins Gold ( Basically Yellow) . My guess is the Beige came in the mid 60s with the 855 blocks.

    Looking Great, I like your stack mount! What sort of strapping are you using to set the cab,, I ran straps through the windows when I set mine to check the backdrop clearance,, Now we will have to go under with a spreader bar of some sort,, and a lot more TLC !

    Your rolling along now ,, and just in time for some good spring weather to set your cab on and install all the painted parts!

    Bob I’m sure your exactly correct on LJs setting around in hidden places, I’ve asked all the people I know who have restored LJs and have come up short on a good set of fenders, I have 2 parts LJs and the fenders are pretty bad, the cab parts I got from Matt helped me a bunch. I would love to find good set before I start making a set, if anyone has any leads I would appreciate it. Dean

    I love those pictures of older Mack’s working! Thanks

    That’s going to look Great,, That Radiator is the Eye Catcher on the B73s , even in old pictures they pop out ,,, And that will be magnified by all the beauty around it on yours ! I got my fenders back yesterday, just hung them on to get a idea on cutting the back off another set,,, This is probably going to be the most challenging job yet ( Still hoping a set will pop up,, But LJs are hard to find parts for) Cab is ready for primer , We are going forward!

    Just wanted to say Thank You Matt ! , For the L Cab parts, the weekly updates and pictures, the tips on body work, And MOSTLY on the encouragement on my LJ that I used when I got out of High School in the late 70s ( picture) , I put off working on it till 1995 , Then took it apart when my son was 6 ( picture) , and parked it in a shed for 20 years! I got it out about 2 years ago and am rolling along pretty good with the Motivation of You & ALL the folks that commit and share ideas on Your work, which is perfect! I can’t wait to see The B73 in person! Dean
