The lack of convex dome really kills the look of these wheels.

We had a shop quote correct reproduction but with a tubeless style bead. $2,900 each, that was in 2019.  The billets were $2,500 a piece, machining labor was cheap because the owner thought it was a cool project.

One note of caution with soda, it must be neutralized before primer is applied.  This can be done with soapy water.

We use the paint stripper in some cases, have to be careful to keep it out of seams otherwise it can leach back to the primed area and lift everything off.

Those trucks are part of Gene Olsen's (fmr. ATHS president) collection.

$5500 in scrap... not on this planet.

It would be good to get some higher resolution photos of the lamps.  From all sides, including the brackets.

Purchased from Iowa80, Quiet Muffler insert for 5” stack, P/N 185086

Much appreciated sir!

Matt, would you mind sharing the insert part number you used in the exhaust stack? I believe it was a 5" stack?

Need two LT fenders

I am interested in the Mack hoods, in case anyone is local and would be willing to pickup and ship them.  I do not see that that is something the auction house will provide.

Can't wait to see a drive video.  That one on facebook was a major tease Matt!

I took some of those photos when I went to see it.

It's an early LTSW with the louvered hood, obviously a Hall Scott.  The production numbers for early LTSWs are below.  Very rare truck, especially with the Hall Scott.

1947: 135

1948: 73

1949: 21

1950: 51  (1950 was first year of LTLSW production, 80 of those made)

Would you mind sharing the PN for the starter you used?  Want to convert my 220 as well.

Any ID tag on the FWD?

Really digging up a thread here but, does anyone know who makes this tire?  I'm looking for the same tread pattern in 1100-22.  I've seen a few L cab log trucks wearing them but can never make out the tire brand.

Looking for a set of LTH rears, with suspension. Do not need trunnion brackets.  No aluminum parts please.

Still looking.  

Thanks for the graphic swishy, very cool.

Looking for a PTO winch for my LTH.  Must be Garwood, either narrow drum with dual catheads or wide drum with no cat heads.  PTO on drivers side, prefer sprocket to be forward of drum but not sure if this was offered.

Do not want/need a cage.

Located in Maine.

Those are traditional knuckle booms with jointed jibs.  Both the main and jib are hydraulically telescopic.

Knuckle booms are far superior in terms of accessing low clearance and tight/constrained areas.  Even better is the fact that your pick point can be attached right to the crane, vs. a telescopic cable.

Crane at previous employer could reach over a house and touch the ground if you extended the jib.  I watch other co's use straight cranes and feel bad.

Those units are easily $200k+.

Wheelbases in the 3 LT/LTL brochures I have total 16 variants from 167" to 245".  Some day I'll put them brochures into pdf form.

Rogers still makes some nice looking fixed neck rear loading equipment trailers.  Doesn't seem to be a very popular thing nowadays.

I was there a week ago.  Watched a large firetruck hit the torch.  And a really clean 90s Land Rover roll in to be sold as scrap.

The A20H I restored felt like 8-10,000 on my gooseneck.  H is heavy spec though, had majority double frame and spoke wheels.

I have a PT pump here on an NH220, issue being the idle adjustment does nothing.  Currently the throttle limit screws keep it going.  Low idle cold and high idle warm.  It is original to the truck and who knows the history, I'd like to have it gone through.

Looking for someone who knows them well, I.E. not a guy with a how-to manual and gasket kits.  Located in Maine, will travel to NH, VT, MA to shake hands if possible. Or can ship.  Thank you.
