    Thanks, Hopefully the new owner saw it.

    I believe they switched somewhere late 50's, early 60's but not sure. All the LT's I've worked on had two seals and greased bearings. My dad's 65 F model had one and ran in oil.

    I saw this posted on another site. The poster mentioned it had an aftermarket hood. That may be the reason for the different headlight/grille. Great looking truck!

    No, those early Mack axles had an inner and outer seal around the bearings. The bearings were packed in grease. It wasn't until later that they removed the outer seal and allowed the differential oil to lubricate the bearings. That thin flange between the axle shaft and the bearing retainer in the picture above is where the seal rides that keeps the oil out. The seal is in the axle cap.

    That looks like a capillary type mechanical gauge. No wire attached. It should have a metal tube that runs from the sensor to the gauge with either a plastic or wound wire protective cover over it. If that metal tube is broken you'll have to replace the gauge. If the gauge has 2 wires attached to it now, that's not the sender. Nice truck!

    That's the early style with three clamps bolted to the cab. Clamp is 4 ME 2258-P1. I believe it's the same for all the early L series cab mounted mufflers.

    Good eye! You are correct, they aren't the same as the E models that the FP appears to have used. Looking through the F model archive photo book they closely resemble the other earlier F model fenders. Not sure if Mack tried them out and didn't like the look or what. They did appear to be the originals from the factory. Maybe the new owner can decipher that from the build records?

    There might be a few there but it's a Central California chapter ATHS truck show. Usually about 100 trucks.

    I don't think so. Off road Peterbilt, couple of KW's and an international.

    Not that many cars, mostly trucks and a few pickups. Great show at a great location.

    I thought I had a better picture of it but if you look real close Norm's R model is on the left next to my dad's RS763. This was at the Central CA show in Plymouth. It was in Reno at the ATHS national show as well. Nice looking truck!

    single drive with a Utility tag axle.

    Yesterday we got it on the trailer and one step closer to it's new home. Every time we move it it gets rougher! Not much left but it is an FP with a Buda diesel. FP1C1010D

    From my experience, trucks built after 1955 generally had 3 hinges, earlier had two. That said there are plenty of exceptions. All the LJSWX's I've seen back to 1950 had 3 hinges. I've heard there are some late LT's that had 3 hinges as well but the vast majority had two. Not sure about the C series trucks.
