  1. same story here. the land my uncle owned in center of small farm town that as kids we walked and camped on was sold to developer who now has major mall with stores and still developing, SO SAD
  2. after all the parades; hot dogs and hamburgers ; a moment taken for remembrance of those who gave us the opportunity for celebration. NOT from todays cluster f--k world . days gone by. not dismissing ALL veterans ; memorial day for glancing at the 300K + white crosses at Arlington and else where. THANK YOU to ALL . remember the doughboys back then are the ones who coined the phrase that ac mack looks like a bulldog . who knows what would have been on the hood today.
  3. broken clamp, cracked hose air system. higher gears possibly due to engine under load. idle- pressures aren't high enough.
  4. they must be the new technology style emergency boat floatation devices โ˜บ๏ธ

  6. not only is it turning out to be a work of art; the fact you are doing it to a B73/L cab makes it even more impressive. B73/75 grilles just have "the look" . excellent job . looking forward to the day of seeing it close up
  7. black and white TV, with all the shoot outs that took place on the westerns then we never considered it as violence unlike today. less us not forget the comedy shows, they were funny. adlibs and no four letter words. Red Skelton is the best. with memorial day approaching; listen to Red Skelton reciting the Pledge of Allegiance
  8. when the picture is that perfect; consider an attitude may go with it.. "i got it you want it,don't touch" .. now if she can weld !!!! . jeans/tee shirt ๐Ÿ˜Š
  9. worse then the lost dentures ; it the loss of "where's the manual "; what am i suppose to do " . younger days it was called what wet dreams are made of . in the "golden yrs" the wet dreams are solved by depends LOL ๐Ÿ˜ nice Mack
  10. even in the day brand new they were costly compared to other toys. i had a B tandem with custom built chrome tanker. chassis was yellow/green. had chance to buy two of them. $1500.oo for two back then was alot of $$$ for young guy raising a family. sure wish i bought them both today.
  11. found them; but can they drive a mack..LOL personal opinion only. i like a good chassis in jeans, white tee ;long dark hair under baseball hat riding on back seat of a harley. on the bike usually has a great personality also.just sayin
  12. another reason the golden years aren't great at all ..๐Ÿ˜‚
  13. i knew a girl got two implants; they sure looked nice' don't know what they cost her ;; i'm sorry couldn't help my self. LOL
  14. that's why i don't carry a gun; some unfortunate bast----d might make a comment about the "golden years" being so great.
  15. none of it is trivial stuff . it's the little known history that keeps the mental status going along with the hands on mechanical knowledge, its all good.
  16. I would have gladly offered my assistance today; have another project which took priority; have big hole in house wall changing over AC units. some one mounted a window unit in the wall. major changes to install new wall unit.
  17. so many things in life we all take for granted, same as the history behind the Mack bulldog . I know the bulldog changed it's appearance ; never knew who or why it was done. todays world change is usually done to make a product cheaper. the Bulldog changes possibly the squared off profile looks bold ??
  18. do you remember seeing the blue R700 western at the factory on pines bridge in beacon falls ct
  19. bulldog on the front of my '77 ford had a winter hat made to keep his ears warm .
  20. now we all know it's NOT the best you can do ;;; it's what you could do on last minute notice๐Ÿ˜†. dog was probably upset he didn't have time to prep for photo session and wouldn't smile THAT's why you didn't take photo of his face ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ LOL
  21. kept looking at those legs ; didn't remember the solid back. wasn't aware of knock offs jc whitney- im thinking the store; duh , jc whitney the auto catalog. i took a R-model base with bulldog mounted it on my '77 F-350 . dog was from the '70's had the square features.
  22. there is no doubt this is a site dedicated to mack (and other makes of trucks)/ HD equipment and the like. these vehicles are built, operated, repaired by humans. it takes a human to run the robots. all humans need a spot to vent. discuss their bottled up feeling. the purpose of ; off the wall;;shop talk forums are for such venting, i would much rather see the off topic forums then read the news about another mass shooting due to someone holding in the frustrations that should be vented. there are those proud to live off the system, and those OF US that are paying for the free loaders, as a member of the Knight of Columbus ;; yes they did change the wording on vest for fund raiser from mentally retarded to mentally challenged. can't please everyone anymore. world is so worried about being "politically correct "while at the same time the world is going to sh-t. NOW is everyones mack running ok today!!!
  23. correct on the number of yrs .the early dogs had the more rounded features. the "new/(improved?????) version has the square look. those ears look quite square , tough call. either way it's a nice find. have to wonder how/why it got there. is there a B-model lurking under the water !LOL
  24. your Uncle made it "HOME" ; a home far better then the world we live in. I have 5 = 1/48 scale B-17's models waiting for build. to honor those who didn't make it back.๐Ÿ›ซ๐Ÿฆ…
  25. i wouldn't do that; i figure the two of them might be there.
