  1. Nice find...did Mack have a "corporate" football team? Sales campaign? And the real story is....?????
  2. Alot of work went into this truck...kudos for that...but it is FUGLY.
  3. 15x7, 5 bolt, and 5.5" bolt circle. I do not know the offset
  4. Found a NOS factory aluminum wheel. Need to find three (3) more NOS or mint wheels. Need center caps too. Here is a file photo of the wheel...
  5. Plant 5C is mentioned in this Wikipedia thread as being located near the Allentown Queen City Airport. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allentown_Queen_City_Municipal_Airport I also saw mention of Plant 4 and Plant 10. I did a web search on Allentown and Mack and found nothing showing any plants. Seems strange with the Mack heritage in Allentown there are no pictures of the plants. Perhaps someone will provide some information and pics.
  6. Works for me. I use Internet Explorer 9. Did you send your monthly BMT rent/lease payment?
  7. Medium gray with red stripes (matching the frame).
  8. More the case....if you cut the sex off, she WOULD go to shows! But then maybe you are not married very long.
  9. My rule is "no price = not interested". But good luck in selling the trailer.
  10. Who was the original supplier...Grote or Trucklite? Perhaps you can search (if you have not already did so) by the supplier number rather than the Mack PN. Any other truck OE use the same or similar lamp? Do you have a pic? BTW, I was able to find the correct "basic" directional signal for my MH from another truck (GMC). Easily modified (connector change).
  11. We did not do any "farm work" other than feed the animals. No running machinery or even mowing the lawn. We went to church on Sunday morning, home for a big lunch, then either "entertain" family or go to a relative's home. To this day, my mother gets "upset" if I do any work on Sunday.
  12. Out of likes but I LIKE! Freakin' fantastic and a bunch of BMT members...FREAKIN' JEALOUS! When are the videos and sound bites coming?
  13. The downfall of a nation starts when the children are less educated than their parents. How many kids do you see today that do not want to study or learn? The younger generation is the "give me" group...give me this, give me that. And yes it started with my generation, the Y-generation. Kudos to Vinny and other young people who take time to listen to us "old farts" and try to do what is right for the country and mankind. Sorry for the diversion...there should be no commercial stores open on Holidays....but there should be some basic services available...hospitals, gas stations, drug stores, convenience stores, and fast food establishments. I too remember when the only thing open on Sunday or a Holiday was a drug store and they opened at noon or later. No gas stations were open so you needed to "plan" and fill-up the day before. Holidays are meant to celebrate the "reason" and spend time with family. In a few years I foresee "business as usual" on Thanksgiving and even Christmas.
  14. Welcome to BMT. No Mack....pics will work!
  15. Good question...how do you like shifting with your left hand? How about some driving videos?
  16. Send some of that "heat" to PA......18 here (high 26)
  17. Very nice! When does the "Tour of America" start? Make sure Macungie and Gerhart's are on the list of stops. I bet the Mack Museum would LOVE to see this one in person.
  18. What he said ^^^^^^^
  19. But it is in NC....
  20. You are in North Country...I recommend synthetic.
  21. If it was black it was Smith Transport. If it was white = EFSmith. Both are based in Roaring Spring, PA (about 2 miles from each other).
  22. All the carpet was removed from the Whitehouse?!? (Hey, someone had to ask. )
  23. You may be right. There was some talk a few months ago but I have heard nothing recently. Hopefully this "tax increase" will stop any discussions. Yea, just like the lottery monies are to go to schools and elderly. If that is correct, why do my school taxes keep increasing and where is the money to help my mom (and other elderly people)? Years ago, the PA turnpike was "self supporting". If so, what changed? (My guess is the STATE was "borrowing" money from the PTC.)
  24. Is the 7 to 8 split the same as the T2050?
  25. Fred - I am sure you heard the lady correctly when she called it a "paint job". My "vote" is for a wrap. If you look closely at the Bulldog base you can see a white outline. Also, the back of the cab and farings are white. Likely a white truck with a wrap. Nice wrap/paint regardless.
