I will have to find the pictures of the whole truck it was actually Duck yellow. Would love to have one just like it I'd drive the wheels off of it or his B67 that was red and had three sticks. I would give anything to go back then and be a truck driver. My Grandpa always told me I was born and a driver in the wrong Era especially since I love the old iron and old school ways of back then. -
I know the 86 GMC General I drove had two switch air actuated wipers. And none of you guys are OFF Topic in my thread here. That's why I started it to here the old stories just like my Grandpa used to tell me growing up. My Grandpa was the guy that took pictures of everything and anything. That's why we have pictures of his old trucks. Some of them are even still in Black and white.

Not sure what an MB steering wheel is there Bob -
Someone commented on another thread about the wipers on a Blue B61 in Police academy looked different being top mounted. This a picture of the inside of my Grandpa's B61 and the wipers are also top mount.

This is after the first time i had Brightener put on the body of the truck. It helps it stay clean and shine longer. Doesn't hurt the paint or anything.

I polished my tanks and wheels after I had them brighten everything which brings the oxidation to surface and everything looks dull. Now the only thing that gits brightened is the occasional van trailer or flatbed I'm pulling at the time and the body of my Truck. Bottom picture is when I first got the truck the driver that had it before me hadn't washed it in months. Top picture is after it's first bath and brightener on all chrome. Picture below that is after i hand polished and got rid of all the oxidation.

I believe Alumibright is the same stuff that The Blue Beacon uses if I'm remembering right. Stuff works great and has done wonders for my trucks paint job.
-
Yeah it's "brightner" also known as Acid Brightner useful for bringing up the oxidation hiding beneath the surface of your chrome rims,battery boxes,fuel tanks etc....It won't harm the paint on the truck at all. Like I said I have Blue Beacon do it all the time because it's free and it helps my truck look cleaner longer.

B-73 Restoration
The Rubber Duck 006 replied to mattb73lt's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Hmm seeing that crankshaft brings back some memories of when I was a junior in Highschool. We had one of those in our scrap bin at the vocational school I went to and some boys in my class didn't think I could pick it up. Yeah not only did I pick the thing up off the ground but I pressed it about 5 times over my head just for good measure hahahaha. -
I have the Blue Beacon here in Beaverdam,Ohio spray brightener on the Body of my Truck. It helps the truck stay cleaner longer and it helps the paint not Dull out. Just don't git it on your windows or it will eat them up.

My Grandpa's B61 was the same way with top mount wipers

Yeah I had a 2006 Freightliner Coronado had a 2005 Detroit Series 60 14.0L under the hood. 515hp from the factory and 7Mpg
-
They can have them ACERT Cats I'd rather put a 14.0 Liter 60 series Detroit under the hood of a Mack.
-
That will work
-
That's fine

What's the mileage?

Pulling injectors on a 673
The Rubber Duck 006 replied to Craig N's topic in Engine and Transmission
He would run the thread through the Stud holes or bolt holes and basically loosely tie the gasket to whatever he was putting on ( Water pump,intake manifold, exhaust manifold, heads etc.) The thread doesn't hurt the gaskets and once you set whatever it may be in place it easily cuts the thread and he could easily pull the thread out and the gasket was set. -

You Guys talking about putting gaskets on brought back memories of my Grandpa. He worked on trucks back before he owned them and even after he owned them of course lol. He always used thin sewing thread to hold any type of gaskets on while setting them. -
For sure For sure

CH is a Set back axle CHU is The set forward axle CHN looks almost just like a CHU to me but maybe the hood is shorter. Now as far a the tech side of it There's plenty of guys on here that can tell you all about that. Maybe Joey Mack or MackPro can elaborate for us.

Yeah I didn't place in that Pride and Polish virtual truck show but to have The truck I drive for a living appear on a CAT Scale card is even better!!
-
I received an email from The CAT Scale company and "The Green Hornet " has been chosen for the Super Trucks limited Edition Series twenty two!!! The Series will Feature 60 trucks. In addition to receiving the whole Set I will also receive 200 cards of My Truck to give out to whoever I want!!.
-
Marmon was just like Studebaker all hand built and very nice.

If there's one thing on my 2016 CHU613 Pinnacle I could change it would the steering shaft linkage set up. The plate it hooks to blocks convient access to the alternator and such. Also I would give the MP8 atleast 500horse out of the factory. Other than the DPF emissions junk I'm very happy 😊 with the truck overall.
