    My comment about the headlights was aimed (no pun) at the grille. I would like to know if the lower grille sections were "modified" or new moulds to replace the normal headlamp pieces.

    Thank you! It had "Ranch" on the door so I was thinking "round bale mover". Never thought about rectangular bale stacks.

    Wifey and I were in Tucson last week to escape the cold and snow. I was hoping to see some old Macks but never did see any. I did however see this strange looking truck while I was driving. Wheelbase is less than 100". Anyone know its purpose?

    I just noticed, the bottom pic looks like it was taken at the Mack Engineering Center.

    Thanks Rifleman for the info. I see the headlights are mounted in the bumper and not in the grille. Interesting...

    Speaking of TK....On a side note....got my "Hooters Hose Fix" last week. Wifey and I spent a week in Tucson. Ate at Hooter's twice! Wifey said "the food was good"...and I said "they serve food?" BTW, did not see any Macks but did see lots of airplanes, jets, and cactus.

    Rob is correct D7G had D3306T (91V DD and 92V PS) along with ROPS. D7F had D333T engine (DD 93N and PS 94N).

    Any Mack dealer should be able to get the correct matching steps. My MH uses steps and deck plate manufactured by Bustin (www.romcorp.com).

    Contact your local Mack dealer. They can order one specifically for your truck, but they are not cheap. Keep watching eBay and you may find one that will be close to your specs.

    I guess others know what a prove light is but I do not. Please tell me (and Ron) what is a prove light. Thanks!

    Are you getting blue smoke? If not, then check for worn/misfit valve guides, no "slobber" shields, or unburned fuel (injectors). If you are blowing blue smoke, likely oil and/or compression rings installed incorrectly. Just thought of another thing...was the engine "broke in" to seat the rings? Did you install new liners or rehone the old ones?

    The oil can still look "clean" and be contaminated with metals and or fuel. Good idea to have the oil analyzed.

    Tom, Nice winter scenery. Thanks for all your road trip pics.

    If it was me I would paint the sheet metal and then install the glass and seals. As was mentioned, that is how it is done at the factory. I hate to see "poorly" masked rubber with overspray. If you are going to take the time to do it, do it right. Just sayin'.

    I will take the two (2) cream puffs.

    Dr. Don at the Mack Museum thinks the picture was taken around 1978. He also thinks the trucks are the "first" Valueliners built at Macungie. And he confirmed the picture was taken in front of the WHQ. On a side note...I was thinking "what happens when the old Mack guys are gone?". Reminds me of a George Jones song "Who's Going to Fill Their Shoes."
