  1. Thanks for the History and photos, hopefully whoever buys it will bring it to some shows, I would love to see it.
  2. Very nice truck , I had never seen it before, thanks for sharing.
  3. Saw this LJ Sleeper with a Sleeper on Facebook a few days ago, Unsure what the b51 means,, Nice looking truck.
  4. That print looks pretty good, you should copy some, I would buy one, I watched a video on those Mack’s up there, I’ve been interested in them since I found out my LTH came from up there hauling equipment.
  5. It all looks good to me, like you said,, Drive it and have fun! That backdrop looks awesome!
  6. My 87 Freedom Superliner has Aluminum rails and steel in front. I’m not sure about the aluminum front options.
  7. My Son had a Superliner that used that same bumper, he got one at the local Mack dealer,,, I remember it was pricey!
  8. Great, I’ll keep that in mind, I bought a few things from them that you said they had, I may order one. Thanks
  9. $53 is a great price, this is my original, it is worn bad and has a chip in it, The other cleaned up nicely, I put it in an hooked it up yesterday . Thank You for the Birthday wishes, I hung out with my Grandson, we drove the 55 LTH out to Asheville for ice cream! Couldn’t ask for a better day.
  10. This is the “Old Cummins Yellow “ I got from Mahoney’s , you can’t tell much difference in what you used, Yours looks great . Can’t wait to hear it running!
  11. I noticed these can still be bought new ( couple hundred bucks I think) I think that one will clean up ok , it’s not that worn , and it’s from a LJ , the original one has a chunk broken out , worn bad and the base is badly corroded.
  12. My goodness that is so detailed! Hopefully the weather will be nice over the weekend ! Almost got it.
  13. Got a little time this week to hook up the fuel linkage, my original fuel pedal was trash, took one off the parts truck and started cleaning,, Summer is a busy time around here, Baseball, Mowing, same for everyone I’m sure.
  14. I have 100 % Confidence in your work! But I do know that feeling,, A lot of moving parts on your mind when you start it up.
  15. Perfect! Thanks for the video! I love that Air Starter, I grew up about a mile from Overnights Terminal, I remember that sound on a warm summer night with my bedroom window open when I was a kid ! Thank you for sharing.
  16. I’m loving reading all the comments! I’ve been in that shop , That’s going to be one of the Most “ Built to Specs “ 220s Ever! I grew up around 220 Cummins, I have no doubt that one is top notch!
  17. I think the old 2 cycle Detroits are the ‘AK47s “ of Diesels, They could take a lot of abuse and still do the job.
  18. Thanks for the Detroit story, the old 318 were very dependable in fire trucks. And the 99 GM series tractor sounds awesome pulling!
  19. That’s the good part, installing all the new parts after all the cleaning, running around is done. Looking Good!
  20. It’s getting pretty nice, I went down not long after they started it , maybe just 2 trucks and a few steam engines, A lot of Volunteers have put their Sweat and Heart into it ( I wish I lived closer, I would enjoy helping) I actually was going to loan our Hennis C Model Mack to put in a couple of years ago, Because they were a NC born trucking company, but they were getting closer to completion of the Hennis H .
  21. Joey , I thought you might be there , I had a Hennis H Model shirt on , you would probably have recognized me Grandson . Maybe I can bring him back to the Museum and meet up with you sometime. He’s interested in trains also, we usually get down there a couple times a year, Today was Truck Show and Train Day, so it was definitely worthwhile. Brocky I think they have about 10 trucks, a few maybe on loan, because they are a few different ones from last year. My Dad drove for Hennis from 1960 through the 1970s until they were bought by Spector ,, I had the Original pictures of these Hs .
  22. Good Truck Show at the NC Transportation Museum today In Spencer,NC could have been working on my restoration project,, but took the day to enjoy Trucks & Trains .
