Pristine piece better than new!

Are you going to play a recording of a 673 T to accompany the truck when driving!😁

Keith, slightly off subject,did you see the wheeler Dealers episode where they put the electric motor in an Alfa (I think it was) runs like a raped ape ? Stick shift too!  One question  how do you protect yourself bystanders etc against an explosion from " offgasing" these are "wet batteries" right? Until you have had a battery blow up in your face(I have!)  You couldn't possibly appreciate how volatile hydrogen gas is!😁 Of course it only happens with a recently charged battery! I was 14 and struck a spark on one of the connections on my dad's homemade battery charger! This was a 12 volt car battery! You have the potential on that battery for a real Hiroshima! I'm thinking some kind of fan that runs continuously to blow away the fumes! In retrospect I'm thinking the people who engineered the prius and other hybrids have solved that problem! The potential lawsuits from a bunch of exploding tree huggers can't be ignored! Sorry I'm not too politically correct! 

Interesting what kind of truck is it? Didja see the episode of Wheeler Dealers where they did an electric conversion on an Alfa?

Did you preheat hub before welding it? Cast steel is a little more forgiving than cast iron!

Finding the grille must have been a chore!

Great job on the restoration grandma will be speechless!

TD,great looking fleet! People took pride in their equipment! Probably used the old fashioned simonize that you had to rub your butt off! Not a scratch or dent in sight!

Good lookin' F, mackaholic!

And I know what you mean about the leaves!😁

J Hancock, have you tried JBWeld? Just kidding hope you're  doing better! I fell off a little kids 20" bicycle and it took 6months and physical therapy before my shoulder quit hurting!

Sharp cherrypicker!

Like the little Federal in the back row,had a school bus with that front end! The bumper on the B Model wrecker weighs as much as a Honda civic😁

Great looking superliner, OBTB! The " period" sleeper makes the truck !

Didja ,have to pull the fenders to get the truck on the trailer? Is that the same as a Mack Jr pickup or a different bed? Very unique! Is there any interchange on the doors? Good luck on the build!

Pretty neat.  What are the specs?  

Could have potential,if not the pocanos are a nice place to rip!

,Aschi, that's as nice a wooden truck as I've ever seen!Do you hand carve the odd shapes? Like the windshield posts etc? I love to see the work of a craftsman!

Cute "cherrypicker" mack!

Love the old bulldog,really solid looking! Don't they use salt in Alaska? Anyway a little paint and tlc is all she needs!
