I'm going through my O.D. Mags it was this year so I'll find it for you. Paul

One of the other options is Stainless steel tank skins. They fit over the stock tanks.The company advertised in Over Drive Magizine alot. The local Mack / Volvo / Paacar Dealer has or had them in stock. I coan probbly go through my isues of O.D. mags if you want to go that way. Paul

If you look at the third photo and the very last photo, you'll see the sleeper isnt a sleeper at all. It only is about 32 inches in from the outside. Some IDF and Australian military Macks ran that. APU or other recovery items? Paul

M-88 Grizzly ARV, XM-70 the M-1 prototype and a Merkava I. Most of the photos I have in Bart Vanderveens book on military macks. and the IDF book on Armour Transport. Were you a driver??

What harm can Olav Obama do??

Generally a bad valve or one that does not full seat will show up as a miss at idle or a roughness. Looking at the photo of your smoke, Grey color is generaly excessive fuel or an incomplete burn. Has anyone checked to see if the choke is full opening when warm? Is the choke pull off working? The Carb float could have one of 2 problems. A miss adjusted float (too high) or a bad float needle will cause that color smoke by dumping fuel. Another thing to check is the ignition coil out put. The do break down over time and it may not be suppling the needed output under load. The will cause a miss fire because needed voltage at the plug(s) is not trhere. Also the vacuum advance could be not working as suggested. Paul

I keep my eyes open. I'd post your if on these two sites if I were you. I had the grill stolen from my 46 Ford Ferguson and found it mounten on a local "rat rod" Got it back too. Paul http://blog.hemmings.com/ http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=5

Now if only you could get Spot in to see Pelousy.........

Why not PM ducky698, He's in Oz converting a Flintstone to an R700. Probbly come up with numbers for you. Paul

Yeah, like the people on L.I.Avenue and the people on Route 58 Avenue with the goodies near us... Paul

Sure but it a 12 " not 12' My fingers do listen to my head... .... You still want photos I'll be gad to shoot them.

Do it now while is laid up. If your like me it'll never get done once the wheels hit the road. Paul Oh yeah, thanks for the Huck Bolt info for my AC Chassis. Go them at Fasten All corp down from my shop.Grade 8 too. Paul

My wife caught some game show where a 5th grade teacher thought our first flag had fifty stars on it.......didn't know about all the others........... Thought the north fought the south in WWII ...and the best was she never heard of Francis Scott Key, who wrote our national anthem!!!! Proud to be an educator.....

I got a lot of MAC and Craftsman tools (got my first Craftman tool set 42 years ago) over the years, but also a few Snap On I got about 25 0r so years age. Also have all my pops Plumb tools from the 30's/ 40's. I'm probbly the only one on my block with king pin tools and a heavy univeral joint press. A lot of special tools I ended up making my self. The Sears Hardware by my runs when I come in.........asked for belts for my 1939 Sears 12' blade table saw..suprised me was they had them. I hit the local buy and sell now for hardship tool and equipment sale items. Paul

My AC has a pair of Vacuum assist (?)Brake cans for the rears.This system eliminated a lot of linkage and provided equal braking to bothe sides. The entire brake system was retro fitted from a 1932 early in its life. Does anybody know if rebuild kits or reto fit kits for the later setup it available? This is a good cold weather project for me. Rob if you see this, I got the Huck bolts you told me about right down from my shop at a place called Fasten-all.. Grade 8 and look just like the original chassis rivets.. Thanks!! Paul

And with all of the regulations, an El Camino or Ranchero can only be regestered with Commercial plates Period!!. Hey Thad, were you get off the LIE is the end of the loop for the SCPD, Suffolk Sheriffs, NYS police and NCPD. I do think the trucks with passenger plates that are open and working are just lucky right now. When the money gets tighter you'll see them ticketed. Suffolk aSheriffs Dept already runs a Piper Cherokee 100 ft over the LIE and parkways tracking Speeders and agressive drivers, won't be long to the ick ups are targeted..

When I learned to weld at Grummans in Bethpage we only learned TIG and Stick. Wire feed was new. I first bought a cheap Flux core welder to do my 4 Chevy Pick up. I learned the hard way, that a flx core weld on body panels is a hard and brittle weld. You well eventually have a stress crack in or next to the weld. A machine with the gas set up isn't much more expendsive and you don't have to run a "pure argon mix if you are't doing Aluminum or similar alloy. A 70/30 or 60/40 mix of Co2 and argon will work fine and is MUCH cheaper. Don't know what is near you in Ozone Park ,but out here the ""buy and sell "(pawn shops) have a good selection cheap too. There was /is a rconditioned and used tool supply store on Jericho Turnpike in Floral Park on the North side just past Hicksville Spring. You can always email me and set up a play date with my welders. Paul

UPS does that with all of their vehicles and equipment They don't want to endorse any maker(even though you know who they are. The Snap On and Matco names are removed from your tool boxes even. As for the Mack Dog...Mack told them the couldn't remove it. That it was there to open the hood....., a handle! Paul

The Queens historical Society has a lot of info and photos of the L.I.Cities Mack factory and alot of it's vehicles up to WWII. I ordered the CD. Good to see what it morphed into. Paul

Before you buy parts,check for a blockages in the front brake lines. I had a similar isue with an older truck. A couple of old timers told me that they would block off the lines from brake supply to the cans to eliminate the front brake. Tthey would put a screw or a ball bearing ball in the line. Their theroy was that the front brakes would cause jackknifes. Some of the pre '72 Freightliners and K.W.s came from the factory with no front brakes. I'd hate to see you go through the expense and labor to still have the problem. (like I did) Paul

No up here,They don't even see you.....to busy texting while adjusting their I pod while eating a burger. I had a person of colour hit my rear tires of my D250 Ram.....I didn't see you! Didn't see me? The F'in thing is RED! and 20 feet long! Plus if you are a hair wider or longr than the parking space the Brown shirts ticket you.

Well, lookin at his watch it tells me it's time to kiss your tacos adious good bye....

I have a 175 with a Honda generator for protable use, but just bought a Lincolin Flextec model 450, part # K2882-1. It's pricy though, a tad over $3000.00 Its 240 3 phase, 5 to 500 amps and has an inverter to do stick, mig, tig and flux core. It 'll gouge with up to a 3/8 stick. So price wise it replaced 2 welders and added a TIG machine. So it really isn't the costly. Its not much bigger than the 225 and weighs a bit over 120 pounds. NY requires that all vehicle structural welding is TIC. plus the benefit if TIC is Aluminum and Stainless. Paul

Can't deny how true it is. Is this what our leader did in Asia....our new world order?

I decided to learn the Spanish language, so I could understand the check-outs at McDonalds. My next move is to learn Indian, so I can understand my doctors and the person that answers the phone when I have a warranty problem. Yep, by the time I read this, I was able to understand the 1st line. "TENJOOBERRYMUDS"... In order to continue getting-by in America (our home land), we all need to learn the NEW English language! Practice by reading the following conversation until you are able to understand the term "TENJOOBERRYMUDS". With a little patience, you'll be able to fit right in. Now, here goes... The following is a telephone exchange between maybe you as a hotel guest and room-service somewhere in the good old U S A today....... Room Service : "Morrin. Roon sirbees." Guest : "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service." Room Service: " Rye . Roon sirbees...morrin! Joowish to oddor sunteen???" Guest: "Uh..... Yes, I'd like to order bacon and eggs.." Room Service: "Ow July den?" Guest: ".....What??" Room Service: "Ow July den?!?... Pryed, boyud, poochd?" Guest: "Oh, the eggs! How do I like them? Sorry.. Scrambled, please." Room Service: "Ow July dee baykem? Crease?" Guest: "Crisp will be fine." Room Service: "Hokay. An Sahn toes?" Guest: "What?" Room Service: "An toes. July Sahn toes?" Guest: "I... Don't think so." Room Service: "No? Judo wan sahn toes???" Guest: "I feel really bad about this, but I don't know what 'judo wan sahn toes' means." Room Service: "Toes! Toes!...Why Joo don Juan toes? Ow bow Anglish moppin we bodder?" Guest: "Oh, English muffin!!! I've got it! You were saying 'toast'... Fine...Yes, an English muffin will be fine." Room Service: "We bodder?" Guest: "No, just put the bodder on the side." Room Service: "Wad?!?" Guest: "I mean butter... Just put the butter on the side." Room Service: "Copy?" Guest: "Excuse me?" Room Service: "Copy...tea..meel?" Guest: "Yes. Coffee, please... And that's everything." Room Service: "One Minnie. Scramah egg, crease baykem, Anglish moppin, we bodder on sigh and copy .... Rye ??" Guest: "Whatever you say.." Room Service: "Tenjooberrymuds." Guest: "You're welcome" Remember I said "By the time you read through this YOU WILL UNDERSTAND 'TENJOOBERRYMUDS' ".......and you do, don't you!
