Like you already know, avoid lugging the engine. I think headgasket problems plagued the earlier 711's more than the later models.

That turned out great!

Is your truck a light weight model? I ask because you mention the bumper in the 2nd pic is aluminum and it does look original. I have only seen tow hooks on the extended style bumpers. -Jeremy

Great pics! Looks like a fun day for both grandpa and grandson.

Looks like it could have been much worse.

Now thats a load!

I am a purist for the most part but I like what you are doing. I would say your work looks top notch from what I can see. I really like the details on the engine, looks great. Keep up the good work!

I have looked at the Eastwood units before, Might be another option.

There were about a dozen extra holes in the radiator guard that I had to weld up. I have everything all bagged up ready for coating. I still haven't decided if I want to have them painted or powder coated. I plan to get quotes on both and then decide. I will be ordering new stainless acorn nuts and bubble mirrors soon, debating on ones with the MACK script or just plain to save a few bucks.

Here is a little of my latest progress on the B rejuvenation. This past weekend I pulled the mirrors and radiator guard off my truck to refinish. The brackets were pretty rusty and pitted especially the driver side. I used my sandblast cabinet and also a wire wheel to clean them off.

That's impressive!

That's a great story!

Looking good!

I know its sometimes common for turbo vehicles to have oil In the intercooler hoses.

That is great!

Iv used rubbing alcohol and a new razor blade. Comes off great.

That's the arm for the roll up tarp that covers the dump box.

I have been researching the ENDT673 engine and still have a handful questions. ENDT 673A 205hp No piston coolers? ENDT 673B 211hp Piston coolers ENDT 673C 250hp Piston coolers Does the above info look correct? What respective years would each of the engines been available? Did Mack stamp the series (A,B,C or just B,C) in the castings along with the other numbers? Anyone have any pictures of theirs? My truck is a 1964 with the original engine, It reads ENDT673-xxxx on the front, Can I assume my engine is the "A" series 205hp? Jeremy

Found this on craigslist. https://northernwi.craigslist.org/cto/5419435626.html

Are those large zip tie's? I guess the dealer didn't inform the owner that his prius is front wheel drive.

So was the truck in the pics above originally a tandem?

First thing I would do is email the seller and get his number so you can speak with him and find out more about the truck. Alot easier to gets details via phone vs emailing back and forth. Explain to him that you have interst in the truck so he knows your not just another tire kicker but dont come off as overly intersted. Ask his bottom dollar and then make an offer after that. You would be surprised Iv have times were something was listed for say $4000 and I was all set on offering $3250 but when I asked bottom dollar the seller would mention he just wants it gone and comes back at $3000. Id then offer $2800. You have to feel out the seller and see how bad he wants it gone. -Jeremy

What a great looking old structure!

Mine is original and still working like a charm. Knock on wood.
