    Do the girls come with the trucks? The trucks are probably cheaper to maintain than the girls.

    Send your VIN to the Mack Museum and they will tell you all about your truck. As many on here will tell you, post some pictures of your truck. Welcome and good luck in your restoration!

    The fuel sipping ad that I remember was the bulldog with a wine glass filled with diesel fuel.

    I always thought the Generals were nice looking trucks. Thanks for posting the picture.

    Shoes? I never noticed! Killer B looks awesome. Love the paint scheme.

    I bet it was hard to get any!

    I asked one of the ladies inside the Customer Center about the truck and she just said "watch for an announcement".

    If you have a bill of sale you should not need to worry about the DOT stuff. Make sure you have insurance before you start home. And as Mike said "drive it like you stole it!"

    Thanks for posting the great pics. Too bad Allentown is not like that today. Headquarters/assembly plant/engineering center = gone! At least the engineering building/grounds are being used by the Mack museum and as a customer center.

    That's me (the bald headed old fart with the light blue shirt) on Doug's left. It was a great show and great to meet some fellow BMT members.

    Doug is a star and his female co-star isn't bad either!

    I made it to Macungie with my MH this afternoon. Wow what a show!! I was surprised to see so many trucks of all brands. I took 127 images today. The grounds are beautiful with trucks sitting everywhere. Words can't describe the show, you have to be here! Congrats to Doug and everyone else for putting this venue together.

    Well I am batting 1000 - got the pyrometer fixed. During removal of the old thermocouple I broke the fitting (I don't think it was ever changed). I had to drill out the hole and retap it. I installed the new thermocouple. When I connected the wiring lead I noticed one of the wires was broken. So I spliced the wires and checked it out. IT WORKS! The problem was the wiring harness but at least I have a new thermocouple and fitting. Life is good!

    I was able to get the light/gauge issue resolved. I jumpered a wire from the fuel gauge ground to the panel screw. Next week will be the "shakedown" run to Macungie. I changed the pyrometer and that did not resolve the temperature issue. I ordered a new thermocouple ($70) which I hope fixes this one. Thermocouple will be in next week and I will install it before I head to PA. I also installed a new radio. The new one is about an inch deeper than the old one. I had to cram 10 pounds of crap into a 5 pound bag.

    I agree but I have a soft spot for MHs Nice truck Neil. I think I saw it at Gerhart's last fall.

    I will be there with my MH and plan to arrive sometime Friday afternoon. I am staying at the Hawthorne Suites in Fogelsville.

    Phil, Thanks for the information about the wash and highway route. I thought about taking 322. I may give it a try. My main concern is the DOT and weigh stations. Running bare foot - no fuel sticker or permit just private vehicle not for hire decals and a copy of the DOT exemption. I may need bail money! I can't get off work Thursday or I would try to meet up with you somewhere along the way. BTW, I am staying at the Hawthorne Suites on Friday and Saturday nights so if anyone is staying there perhaps we can meet.

    I was driving east on the OH turnpike this afternoon and saw several "old" trucks headed west. Thanks for the offer Mike but I am coming from the north (I think). I am planning to drive east on I-80 and then south on the PA turnpike. Or does anyone recommend a better way from Canton, OH?

    I sent my registration check today. Planning to be there on Friday afternoon with my MH612. It will be in its "working clothes". Is there a truck wash nearby?
  24. farmer52
    Hi Greg! Sold it but bought another one (just like the other one only 7 VINs newer). I am a glutton for punishment!

    My MH has an EM7 300 Maxidyne with T2050 transmission. I too would like a few more gears but I am learning to let it lug around 1200-1000 rpm and shifting at 1600-1800 rpm. I am only bobtailing so it does a good job pulling its own weight at low rpms.
