Do you know what they each had for power?

Holly cow! Can you scan and send the whole magazine? I'm not sure how many pages they are. I'm actually interested in an article about a former local concrete supplier overhauling old Colonial mixers from Jersey that were originally WWII Mack LMSWs. 

Does anybody have one or know of a source where I can get an original or copy of the 1977 4th quarter edition of Mack's Bulldog Magazine?

Not really sure what they are worth. Probably not much even though they are a pretty unique item. $100 for the set.

I have two new old stock 6.5-16 Lee brand tires for sale. These are still in their original wrapping and have been stored inside forever. They are still very soft and have no dry rotting whatsoever. I am guessing they are from the 30s or 40s. Although too small for what most people on this site have, I don't want to throw them away as someone could possibly use them on a restoration project. Pittsburgh, PA area.

I have a B81SX with single acting service brake chambers on the tandems. The truck utilized a hand brake that engaged a brake drum on the drive shaft for parking. From the attached pictures does anybody know if there is a parking brake chamber type that is a direct bolt on? The current setup only utilizes one bolt to secure the chamber to the axle housings. All the spring brake chambers I have seen have two bolts. Has anybody ever done this change to older trucks that were not originally equipped with spring brakes? I realize there is air line plumbing involved and a valve needs added in the cab, however I believe that to be the easy part of this job. My concern is with being able to mount a spring brake chamber to the axle housings. This truck is 90% restored and is used only for show, however, the lack of a good functioning parking brake is somewhat of a liability in my eyes. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks in advance.

Got an early 70's Pete sleeper, 36 inch. no cut-out for exhaust but period correct. Have had this inside stored for 20 years. Was going to put it on a B model at one time. It is just in primer and Perfect, no dents, damage or corrosion. Take a look at "Water Dog" post in Antique & Classic section. It is the same sleeper as on Rob's water R Model. $500 plus the ride. Can post photo's if interested.

Thanks for the response. I am going to pass though. I need to have a Rest Rite for the restoration I am working on. They were manufactured a short distance from where I live and were very popular in this region at the time. From what I have researched they actually made sleepers OEM for Mack up until maybe the early / mid 90s. 

I am in search of a Rest Rite sleeper from the 60s, 70s, or 80s. Preferably a 48" or 36" but a 24" would be OK too. Any leads or information would be helpful or if you know of a junk / parts truck with one still attached. PM me any and all information. Thanks. Neil
