Welcome to BMT what a cool looking i bet fully restored he would look sharp If ya need any help dont hesitate to ask there are plenty of us here who will be glad to help ya Ya can do as i do just work on him as your budget allows & it will start taking shape Again Welcome to BMT Have a goodone Bulldog (aka )

Yup always like a 2 stick because of 5 reverse gears in it (ive made a lot money off bets people thinking i couldnt get across a muddy jobsite loaded & back out empty w/o getting stuck ) those ole 2 sticks made us money in more ways than 1 & they are hard to bet esp when in a hard pull have a goodone Bulldog (aka )

Not a problem got a buddy of mine who is ASE Certified in truck repair that has a molbile tire & truck repair service (which i work for some as a helper ) & if he didnt want to fool w/ it id send it to Crows truck which is a REDDOT DEALER down on Lamar (hwy78) & holmes road Gotta have my Air Later Bulldog (AKA )

Congrats on your purchase i too was WATCHING the ole later

i wouldnt mind having a mc/mr TRACTOR to pull a dumptrailer during working season & to pull containers within a 250 o 300 mile radius of Memphis during slow winter months when construction is slow as long as it had a dumpvalve to dump the bags for going off the road in the dirt. buddy of my granddad had a older post office mc/mr model for a lowboy tractor w/ the 5spd in it man that ole would run like ya beat that dog w/ a stick later Bulldog (aka )

Hey Mack Doctor welcome to BMT & Also here an idea if ya have a petro on flying J Close by or maybe a mom pops Truckstop for that matter ya might try them thats where i found mine for the R & DM Models we had was @ Petro in W.Memphis, Ar (like 45 min to an 1hr drive from my house) hope this helps have a goodone Bulldog (aka )

Amen to that brother i still got "olddog" too much sentimental value too get rid of him (Lord knows the $$ offers ive had on him to sell ) the 1st truck i learned how to drive (including p/u truck ) & its where i got my name too ID GO NUTS IF I DIDNT HAVE HIM ARROUND i cryed like a baby when we sold the last R Model we had miss that ole truck (87 Model w/ 300 & 2stick 6spd) & Besides "olddog" still can work a good long day too!! he anit the best looking truck out there but i wont be scared to back work him it anit no pride & polish contest in the dirt If i have To ill put a small bed on him & powersteering on him put him back in service & Make the small loads noone else wants (like 10yards or less;) but got the heart on a R Or DM Tri axle to work with full time & finsh restoring "olddog" & still work him but show him too would be a nice memorail to my dad & granddad after all the year they drove that old truck have get buddy to post some pics for me (when i can get him to find the time ) i got off early today im surprised for this time of year i even offered to work in the shop too boss said go home & rest come back in morning later Bulldog (aka )

Rigchaser nice pics enjoyed them much much later bulldog (aka Mack)

Maxidyne what year is the ole ? 77 ? good looking set up btw later Bulldog (aka) Mack

WVDoglover 35 never married ? hell man im in the same boat due to i too love to hear the ole dogs bark & growl w/ a load im 31 never married no kids & current girlfriend says im married to my job & trucks anyway must be something bout the excavating & trucking business i love i know what it is its not only on the dirt that gets on hands but in the blood too Bob : That was way our business was based on was WORD OF MOUTH & also like ya said we gave our customers thier moneys worth like i said in my ealier post 40 years of business ceased due to no will But ive got a strong will to survive & work & also bring my familys business back to life Like your set up Bob it reminds me of ours nice setup man Bob & WVDog lover : both preach on yall preach on hope i didnt leave anything out in either 1 of my posts Later Bulldog (aka Mack)

the 64' B422T I have has a 6:17 ratio rearend & 711 (not orig motor was a gas bunner mack motor orig) & 10 duplex in it it wont run but 48 to 50 mph but will pull a house down ! later bulldog

I WAS BORN INTO THE CONSTRUCTION/TRUCKING BUSINESS unfortunlly w/ the death of my dad when i was 2yrs old & the death of my granddad last apirl of 2005 (& he not having a will@ the time of his death ) the family excavating business has ceased after 40 yrs . company was liquidated i still have my connections although im working for a buddy of mine who is also in the business i hope to start back within another year or two . the day his estate went into probate court i had 50 loads of dirt sold to a customer (who has 3 dumps of his own )all i had to was load him w/ the trackhoe & another 20 loads of limestone sold in the next couple of days after that . i had to give it to my buddy that im working for now due to courts shut the business down . Im bankrolling more cash $$ back now to what ive got so i can buy a 80's model DM OR R model DUMP OR TRACTOR & DUMPTRAILER & cover my insureance & tags & have operating money . ONCE THE DIRT NOT ONLY GETS ON YOUR HANDS IT GETS IN THE BLOOD & ITS HARD TO GET IT OUT OF YOUR BLOOD AFTER THAT I Wouldnt dream of doing anything else . even if it a 12 to 14 hour day a lotta days When ya 1 st starting up dont go in over your head w/ a new shiny granite or worse a petercar thats a disater waiting to happen buy a dependable used truck you may have to work on it a little but your overhead w/ your insurance , fuel , tires etc will be lower than they would be w/ a shiny new truck esp when winter comes remember ya cant eat that truck also it helps to have a shop (but ive done it under a lean too or on the ground in the limstone rock untill we had a shop ) learn to work on the truck diesel mechanics & tire/road service anit cheap esp if they come get ya off the side of the road! (have a frined from childhood who has a mobile tire & mechanic service here & his cheapset service call is $40 & goes up depending on milage )plus labor & parts /tires every penny ya can save & put in your pocket the better off youll be lot money can be saved by doing most your tire service / oil changes & grease jobs yourself for example we used to pull clinderrs out of beds & have them repacked done our own tires (includind road service) own oil changes , grease jobs, air ride cab shocks & bags replacing water & hyd pumps radators bout the only thing we didnt do was major O/H's & tranny & rearend & camelback suspension work that was hired out to our mechanic . & for the wrench turning on major stuff ya cant handle on your own find a good mechanic not a parts changer Bank roll your money during the working season so ya can set back like a fat cat & so ya dont have to worry how ya gonna pay your bills during the winter just my 2 cents & have a goodone bulldog

Welcome to the fourm 77Mackr love those ole Mack V8's esp w/ a set of strightpipes on him looks like the old still has plenty of life left in him . I understand the sentimental value of a truck i still have the "olddog" 64' B422T that 1) I was named after 2) that my dad & granddad owned & drove everyday also 3) the 1st thing i learned how to drive (besides a dozer, crawler loader or a 66 SERIES I.H. TRACTOR & PAN ) Wouldnt trade "olddog" for a millon bucks man been offered to sell him countless times & i wont do it Later Bulldog (aka Mack)
