I would start by putting a muffler back on. Make the 90 degree bend with an elbow fitting. Connet the elbow fitting to the flex pipe under the bunk.

Are there hydraulic lines going in/out of it? Follow the lines and see where they end up.

I wonder if it got another rear end when the loader was added. There is a weld on the frame between the cab and axles. I haven't measured the overall length, but I think it may have been lengthened.

Looks like it was a factory tandem since the build data says B67 "ST". The S means tandem. And T means factory tractor. Was probably lengthened for the pallet loader. A wheel base should be listed somewhere in your build information.

Not sure why this is coming back out now. Still, most Americans don't know about it.

Probably because one of Trumps Executive Orders was to declassify everything remaining on the JFK assassination as well as stuff on RFK and MLK assassinations. I think many people are of the opinion the CIA assassinated JFK because he would not get on board with Northwoods among other things. 

To clarify I do know that The Republic of Ireland is a sovereign country located on the island or Ireland. However if you live in Northern Ireland, which is also on the island of Ireland you would be a part of UK, Great Britain, England???? So with that said your location, listed as "Ireland" is slightly ambiguous to a dumb American lol.

Then another 14,000 to put it right

Would the additional 14,000 qualify it to be used for actual work or would that only be for historic/antique hobby use?

LOL I sound like a "dumb American" but what currency does Ireland use? Euro? Actually that whole area geopolitically has always been very confusing to me and I never seem to remember the meaning of all the following terms: England, Great Britian, United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Republic of Ireland. Do you live in the country of Ireland or on the island of Ireland?

naturalized women who have babies here bare babies that are u.s. citizens at birth

I don't think that is in question at all. Do you think the baby in the following scenario is a US Citizen?

A hypothetical plane on a direct flight from Caracas, Venezuela to Montreal, Canada has to make an emergency landing in Atlanta, Georgia. On that plane is a pregnant Venezuelan woman, who only has Venezuelan citizenship. While on the ground at the airport she goes into labor and is rushed to a hospital and her baby is born.

After all the mother is not a naturalized US citizen, and is not here through the legal process. BTW I'm not at all disagreeing with you. I am simply pointing out that something seemingly unquestionable ends up being clear as mud to the masses. If I'm not mistaken this was the premise of the questions surrounding Obama's citizenship. Something about his dad being a citizen of Kenya but his mom was a citizen of here on a visa and he was born on US soil? I can't recall the details.....

Section 1 sentence 1 of the 14th Amendment reads:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. 

Hmm. I'm not a constitutional scholar but if you take that sentence to mean explicitly what it says, as written, black and white, and don't interpret any further into what it might mean, then I think by definition all children born to illegal aliens in this country are US Citizens. I think when speaking of the folks coming through Ellis Island back in the day who went through the legal process those are the ones that fall under the naturalized definition and now are citizens. Now maybe the question lies in "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof". Again, I'm not Constitutional or legal expert but I really don't know what that means. Maybe Trump is angling to say since illegal aliens are in fact illegal then they and their children do not fall under the jurisdiction of the USA and hence the 14th amendment does not apply to them. I really don't know.

A hypothetical plane on a direct flight from Caracas, Venezuela to Montreal, Canada has to make an emergency landing in Atlanta, Georgia. On that plane is a pregnant Venezuelan woman, who only has Venezuelan citizenship. While on the ground at the airport she goes into labor and is rushed to a hospital and her baby is born. I assume that baby is a US citizen but really the woman is neither here legally nor illegally. Actually by chance. Does a by-chance happening make the woman subject to the jurisdiction thereof? Is that baby a citizen of Georgia? He doesn't reside there, just happened to be born there. Personally I have no clue. But this is how these things unfold. 10 people can read the exact same sentence and you will get 10 different interpretations of what that sentence means. In the end the Supreme Court will probably decide whether or not the Executive Order is Constitutional or not based on the majority's interpretation of that sentence and possibly any legal precedent(s).

The next 4 years is going to be extremely interesting, especially if your a legal scholar. I'm pretty skeptical Trump will actually be able to make any meaningful, long term changes to anything. Every single thing he does will get hamstrung in the courts and a Liberal Federal judge will step in at every opportunity.

One needs to consider who was running against him in the election to understand why PA voted for him. Below is a statement I made on 10/27/22 a few days prior to that election in the Best of Biden thread. Page 102:

the republicans picked the worst candidates…it’s like they want to loose. 

^^^^^This. I can't believe that the Republican primary selected Dr. Oz as their candidate. If Dave McCormick would have won the primary this wouldn't even be a contest at this point. To many people don't believe Oz is genuine for many reasons. Its sad the guy was born and raised in Cleveland OH, lived summers in Turkey, lived and worked in New York City until his TV career started in 2009. Then lived in Southern California until now he all of a sudden is the best person they could come up with to represent PA in the US Senate. To be fair he did live in Philadelphia for a time in the mid 1980s while as a student attending the University of Pennsylvania. Unfortunately he is just a big of a quack as Fetterman. He is just wearing different rags. The governor's race is just as bad. Can't believe the Republicans came up with this guy. I will bet my lunch and this week's pay the Governor will remain a democrat because their candidate is very moderate and appeals to lots of people on the right. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now here we are 2+ years later and they ran McCormick again and beat the incumbent Democrat. If Republicans here weren't so daft in 2022 McCormick would have handily beat Fetterman and my guess is would have won the second seat this past fall. Shoulda Woulda Coulda. To run Dr. Oz as a candidate for US Senator of Pennsylvania is a bigger joke than Fetterman wearing a hoodie and shorts to the inauguration. 

What about the 4x4 MH Macks UPS ran?

I just came across a truck that has a VIN Tag that Says Mack Canada Inc., Oakville, Canada.  Does that just mean it was originally sold in Canada?  Would it have still been built in Allentown?  I believe its an 81.

Macks that have that tag were manufactured in Oakville Ontario. Someone will have the dates but Mack Canada had its own manufacturing for a number of years. Subtle differences. The speedometer will be in km/hr. Things like that.

I posted one in the Mack Fire Apparatus photo album on this site back on Feb 9, 2016.

You piqued my interest again with another Pittsburgh station. From the Mack Fire Apparatus Thread 2/9/20216:

Engine 37, Pittsburgh, PA (retired)

1974 Mack R

1000/500

Engine 37 is housed in Station 37, which is also located on Pittsburgh's North Side in the Manchester neighborhood. The firehouse isn't shown as much in this shot, however I don't think it has changed at all. Below is current Google View of it. The house in the background is mostly unchanged as well. @GA_Dave when was this photo taken? In 1988 as well? Something interesting is the paint colors of this 1974 Mack. I assume it was painted as such to honor the Steeler's first Super Bowl victory which was for the 1974 season but played January 12, 1975. I wonder if they repainted it or if the Truck was a 1974 chassis but built and delivered sometime after January 12 1975. The Brockway that started the thread is obviously red and probably a 1975 or later since it is utilizing the Mack built cab. The Steeler's had won at least one more Super Bowl (1975) and possibly two (1978) by the time the Brockway was delivered. Also, I have never seen another black and yellow City of Pittsburgh fire truck. All the ones I have seen going back 20 years now have all been red. @GA_Dave Can you tell if the pictured Mack is a foam truck? Station 37 is now a Haz Mat, foam engine.

Because of the picture I'd love to see a Rogue.The dealer must not have been able to sell it.First time Iv seen Make Offer on a new truck!!!!.The other Diamond Reo's you guys put up have really sparked my interest in them.I'll have to do more digging!!

Paul

That is going to be a real tall order I'm guessing. They have to have been extraordinarily rare, and of those probably none were saved due to their "undesirable" nature. Of the entire Diamond Reo Trucks Flickr group there is only one photo of one:

VTG 1975 ADV Diamond Reo Rogue Detroit Diesel Caterpillar Cummins Gold Comet Rio | eBay

I have an original raider sales brochure. I’ll have to dig it out. Just based on observation the vast majority or Diamond Reo trucks I see that still exist are some type of vocational truck. Very few are tractors. I think they were marketed as a premium vocational truck. From what I can tell they were highly customizable and could be build to custom specs. I have even seen some 6x6 that were mixers. I’m not sure what White was thinking by buying Diamond T and REO then merging them into a premium vocational brand when they already had Autocar in that space. Too bad the folded. I always really liked the Diamond Reos from the late 60s to the 70s

Yes definitely a Diamond Reo Rogue

That was almost 21,000 apparatus ago.  The Pittsburgh Brockway was photographed in 1988.

Did your employment take you to all these fire houses as a vendor rep or trainer or something or did you just as a hobby visit fire stations and take pictures. Hard to believe a guy from Georgia was randomly in the Brighton Heights Pittsburgh neighborhood in 1988 and happened to get a photo that good...Just curious

Engine 35, Pittsburgh, PA

1978 Brockway/Maxim

1500/500

How did you come to photo so many different company's trucks all over the country? Do recall which year you took the photo of engine 35 in Pittsburgh? I had to google it to see which area of Pittsburgh that station is located. I was curious since its local to me. Its in the Brighton Heights neighborhood on Pittsburgh's North Side. Not a bad area but not too great either. Was probably a lot nicer when the photo of the Brockway was taken. Attached is a Google street view of the station as it is now. Hasn't really changed much at all. What's interesting is you can see in the carved stone marker above the overhead door it says Engine House No. 15. The county real estate records say the city acquired the property in 1898. The building looks to me like it was built in the teens or 1920s.

Thats how this truck drives. It has nothing down below 1350 and not alot after 1900. To drive this thing I try to rev it out just past 2000 rpm because with this 10 speed, when I make my up shift the next gear goes in at 1350-1400 and it will be in its "power" band. It just struggles to accelarate. 

Exactly the way I remember them running. First time I drove one back in the day I was thinking it would run like a 300 Maxidyne. I shifted "early" and thought the thing was going to stall. IMO they have terrible performance below 1400 rpm for what their intended purpose is. Seems to me there was "nothing there" until the turbo really started doing something which was around 1400. As I remember the AMIs were much less problematic than the AC version, and all things considered were actually a pretty solid early emissions engine. They just do not have the same performance characteristics Mack had been noted for up to that point. The fuel consumption seems pretty high but I never really paid attention to that when I drove them as it was a slip seat deal..
