New to me F model
BOBWhite replied to chuckholes's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Glad you were able to find one! I know they rust out pretty bad around the cab corners, hope those pine needles didn't get into it too bad. Still looks to me like a worthy restoration candidate! -
PM sent!

I never got to talk to the owner of that truck but it had a 1693 Cat in it!
-
Glad I was able to make it this year lots of cool trucks! Next year I'll have to bring my Transtar, this is a cool little show!

That paintball clip is unbelievable. Can't wait for the Harris-Waltz administration to send the paintball squad to my front porch. I wonder if I would be considered a person of color afterwards 🤔

If a company wanted to put out a hybrid semi truck they probably would have done something like it already. My guess is they already put so much effort and development into making fully electric trucks that they don't even want to bother with the hybrid system. The only other company that made serious attempts that I know of is Eaton but their system was quite a bit different than Edisons system and its been more then 10 years since they last ran a promotion. Here's an example from the 80s made by Briggs And Stratton:

Hats off to you for 49 years! All my retired friends say they are working harder now than when they were employed. Hope you get a chance to travel and work on new projects!

Whatever you install make sure they are well grounded! I've heard stories of loosing headlights at night with Mh's due a bad ground. Late 80s chevy headlights look like they have the same bucket but I'm sure the mounting/adjusting will be different. LED brights with standard dims is what I've seen a lot of people run on quad headlight stuff. Not as annoying in town and such.

R Model Farm Truck

I have a 74 cruiser in the same color that belonged to my grandpa. Definitely not in perfect shape like that one! -
Lol that story sounds like Did you put the 4 barrel carb, headers, and cam on that 250 or did you swap in something else?
-
Do the new truck even have locking power dividers as an option anymore or do they have some sort of auto system now? A switch that could grenade the powertrain if used improperly seems like a bad idea, just like expecting drivers to shift their own gears and have common sense.

This guy looks healthier than most of truckers that are 30+ years younger! These are the type of guys farmers are always looking for when hiring a trucker for the season. The younger guys might move a bit faster but they tear up the equipment in the process. What was the biggest change in trucking? Well tubeless tires of course! lol

Good morning gentlemen, new cabover owner

I get a new one of those calendars from my bank every year but the newer trucks don't have as many places to put em. Once they get wet they are not much of a use either. -

Is this truck air ride? It might be to dump the bags. Our truck had the bag dump and diff lock switches in the middle and top of the dash. I know the cartoons warn you about red buttons but I'd say flip it and find out! -
I was not able to open this one, your last google drive link worked for me. I can't say I've been around a 307. its an early 70s smog engine is all I know about em.

Was just curious if you had some cool swap planned for it. I also have quite the hoard of stuff like that, probably will never use a lot of it but it feels nice to have spares of everything. Nice win on the reduction starter, probably worth buying just for that. Been around a lot of 305s in vans and suburbans. Terrible experience with em in worn out vans but the 80s-90s Suburbans are pretty nice. With the 35 gallon tank and 15+ if you take it easy will give you a nice 500 mile range. Thats enough rambling from me

Whats your plans with it?

Seeing reactions to Trumps cat comment makes me wonder how sheltered some people really are. I know quite a few immigrants and people whos parents are illegal immigrants and even they don't deny that stuff like that happens. How do people NOT see this kinda stuff?! Where in the world are these people living with no interactions with illegal immigrants?

Yes definitely make sure it's latched before you crawl under there! Check the cab hinges too and make sure they are in good shape and greased. Its a 30+ year mechanical motor so it takes some getting used to when your only around electronically controlled stuff. Check your boost pressure, it should be in the 20-30s depending on load. Macks don't let the fuel rack move much until there is boost so if there is a boost leak it could be your issue. Being a 1991 it should have the E7. Very nice truck! -
This pretty much sums it up...

R Model Farm Truck
BOBWhite replied to seyser's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Looks better than any farm truck seat I've seen lol. Like the corduroy look -
An unrealized gains tax?! How many times do I have to say it, how dumb could someone possibly be? There is no denying the malicious intent of that one. Make the Great Depression great again! Should be there slogan On that note I better start canning my garden stuffs.

How many years was the BCR program available? Was it through the dealer or did they send them back up to the factory to be reconfigured? I've seen pictures of R's with the BCR emblem on the side but had no idea what It meant until now.
-
This it? What an unassuming truck to be #1! If I saw it at a show I probably would've walked right past it without even realizing.

The 1693 was originally released as a D343 in bulldozers and such in 1960, the truck version wasn't released until the mid-60s. After doing some more reading I doubt a 1693 ever made it into a B series from factory but It would be cool rig if one did.
