    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

    WOW ! Perfection!
  13. 1961H67
    Very nice! I can see you put a lot of time in those, It will all pay off when you put the finish color on them. Rained all day down here, I spent most of the day organizing what I have to have sandblasted, What’s ready for primer. I sent my fenders to be blasted, next step is cutting up 4 to make 1 good set . Thanks for my mid week Motivation Pictures!
  14. 1961H67
    Lol on the Nuke ! Same here! We have Had these things setting around 30 years, And now we are this close! Yep Really Pissed ! Your Rockin with yours now for sure!

    By the way I’m still looking for a set of LJ fenders, I have 3 sets , The ones that came on it have the “Horns “ that goes against the Radiator Shroud,, the back of both are rotten, I have some fairly good ones off a LJ gas parts truck, I may end up cutting 4 to make 2 ,, Not sure how that will come out, still looking if anyone has any leads on any.
  16. 1961H67
    Perfect!
  17. 1961H67
    That makes perfect sense! And it shows in the Detail!

    Beautiful! I dropped by the paint store today and bought a gallon of epoxy primer for the LJ ,I can’t wait to see the cab all one color ( even if it is gray primer) . Watching you paint everything separately and putting it all together is like watching someone building a High Precision Detail Model!
  19. 1961H67
    My goodness that looks great! I worked on my cab about 3 hours yesterday, I’m hoping to put the first coat of primer on this week. Thanks for the Pictures of your paint ,, My daily Motivation!
  20. 1961H67
    Yes ,, I restored My H Model & C Model,, and when you see that light at the end of the Tunnel it Sure makes a difference! Especially with the Perfection you have put in to yours!
  21. 1961H67
    OH My that looks Great! And also thank you for the Motivation,,, I’ve worked on this LJ more watching you in the past year,, then the past 30 years! ( I Drove this LJ when I got right out of High School , I joke with my Wife when she calls me at the shop, and ask what’s going on,, I say I’m working on the same truck I was when you first met me! 43 years ago! .)
  22. 1961H67
    Ok thanks,, I’ll take these off this parts truck and check them out, The chrome looks pretty good, I’ll check the bases and let you know.

    What kind of marker lights did you use ? Mine were trash, One of my parts LJs has a decent looking set of 517s on it but the gaskets are rotten and I’m sure I would have to replace the bulb sockets . Not that far along yet, just trying to make a list, I’m trying to make it end up looking like it was when Coke bought it new. My head liner and interior is probably going to be the next big hurdle, The cab is getting close to start putting some paint on . ( I’m trying to catch up on my 2 weeks detour on playing with Jake Brakes , lol )

    I checked the local Coca Cola Distributor,, they have a few old pictures of trucks with the same colors ( as best I can tell because they are black & white) but none of My Truck ,, Mack only knows it was Red ,, I have sanded off enough to get all the break lines and took pictures,, I’m just going with that , still curious about the black door glass frame,, I’m going back with it anyway. As for the “Ram Air Induction “ on the parts LJ ,, it’s a piece of stainless covering the wire mesh for the air intake,, It’s actually made very well, somebody’s idea for more air I guess.

    Yea we had a HO-JO nearby when I was growing up , I wish it was still around! I also have a parts LJ that was Green, it has had the door frames painted White?? Never noticed this on old trucks until I started thinking about trying to repaint this to the original owners color .
