What do you think of Disel Kleen products? Like the gray bottle and white bottle.

Jim ,

Put it in the drive way , get a lawn chair and stare at it like I do. I cant keep from looking out the window at mine. You have a great project to start with, im curious also to hear what all should be done to one that hasnt been ran in a while or used very much. -

Im learning somthing new everyday too. Heres a couple shots of the truck and dash.

Forgot to add I cleaned up what the writing said with a armour all wipe.

Ill post up a picture of just the knob in a bit. Well it will be running empty on a dry road with it turned to full/high. -Jay

Would that be like the trolly brake I have on the steering column?

P.S. I dont have the flipper switch in the B model(just this one) but the R600 has one on top of the dash for wet/Dry roads.

Nice truck , I wouldnt mind one of those out this way. Rust isnt a color in the Crayola box??

This one never had air valves there the old ones were more near the steering wheel. Its for the windsheild washer. I sent off for the build sheet about 3 week ago for it. -Jay

Speed, I got them from a girl on ebay/Susan thats a great help. They are holding up pretty good, I havent noticed anything worn off them. I also have the quarter fender rubber flaps the same way and they are still looking good also. She has them in Mack red,Mack green , and your regular black. -Jay

Thats exactly what I was thinking, so ill crank her all the way over so I can finally stop the ol Dog within 40 acres.

I was wondering guys , whats your front brake control turned to in your B models? Im running empty on a dry road and wondering whatto do? , forgive me if it sounds stupid ive never had one like this one in a truck before, Jay

P.S. it takes a long time to stop huh?

I miss the old Tom Bailey Mack until TransSource bought them out. It went from walking in for help to taking a number behind the fleet thats in there. 2 weeks until I have a PM done is pretty bad. So I know what you mean about your old local dealer. - Jay

I took my wife of 3 years to Kenly NC -Iowa 80 group TA truck stop for dinner. She was nice enough to take thease pictures of the truck on line with the rest. Anyone else go on dates with your truck? ha ha. - Jay

Just as you guys said, what else could come from southern ,Cali? Nothing at all surprises me from there. -

Im near Raleigh. Thanks for the kind words. I wish there was more people around this are with antique trucks - Jay

Denver Mack had/had one. Its been a few years since I stopped by , they also have/had a A model if im correct. -Jay

Im going to shoot for Spencer, do you have a truck your taking? -Jay

David, Do you do any shows around here, im about 45 min from you, Jay

I think I have a set of the same tires here. The ones I have look like a off road ,on road ,snow, rain, etc. tire.

Like this one -

Anyone have any shots of Heileg Meyers Funiture Macks? I tink they made them as models- Jay

Yes it has the orginal engine. Am I shifting too low at 1200 RPM? I was told that was what it shifted at. I havent drivin it much. Im going to learn the correct way to shift it before I do much more. I know you go : 1 low 1 high 2 low 2 high and so on from what I read. Seems like everyone has there own way of driving. I read that stay in high and shift like a 5 speed when empty and dont lug under 1500 PRM while driving your ok also. Thanks for talking with me on this. -

Mack near here is 80.00 hr. My local shop up the road is 85.00hr. Mack was nice to me but said they are back up 2 weeks by im guessing fleet trucks. If I had the time to wait id go with Mack but the local shop was real nice also , and can do it in a day or two. -

Im going to go with its ok empty. - J

Also , you shift around 12 right?

Hate to bring up a ollllllld thread but I figure that ill add to this than make a new one. Im new to the duplex Mack also. It hurts the truck when empty to leave the right in high and just shift it like a 5 speed? Im a litte lost and I dont want to hurt the B I have. -Jay
