    Looks like the old O'Hare Factory Branch lot,Brian. Is that at Schmitt's Truck Repair? If so,that's what everybody called "Elk Grove Mack" ,back in the day. What a fitting place for an R model to be parked!

    The backside of the glove box door or even the inside of the heater box cover ( if still there) were usually out of the sun,and will buff out to give the paint "mixer" something to work with. I had a couple of color "swatches " for the "seafoam" (or light mint) green. Gave those away to fellow restorers. Mack changed around '70 to an O D green like color. Al

    No. A B-53 has the same hood a B-61. A B-57 has the short hood like the B-67. Al

    Hey James,funny you should mention that. Charlie Case's LJ was in fact a Rogers Cartage truck. He told me he went down to their terminal and they had 4 or 5 LJ's out in front for sale. He picked that one. I was always going to ask him if Rogers had put the WHITE rear axle in it,or did he? Al

    You & me both,Mike. Charlie and Florence were an inspiration to us all. They had seen everything , plus! That's what made the truck so valuable to me. I got to spend a lot of time talking with them. One time we had a show going on and Florence said Charlie really didn't feel like going. Florence told Charlie," We have to go,Al Rhino Is going to be there"! That just made my day. I will never forget that.

    I had seen it for sale and thought it was a good price for the truck. Good luck with it. Al

    END673c engine

    57 bcr replied to Srays's question in Mack Truck Q & A

    Interesting. I thought the END673P was the only one that was rated at 187hp. Jim is right about the C. I have an END673D in the BCR,that the previous owner added a turbo to. That one started out as 200hp. Al

    I used to see a couple of those Marina trucks follow street sweepers and city crews around. I think the owner(s) got busted in that "Operation Silver Shovel" a few years ago. Al

    Hacked?

    57 bcr replied to HeavyGunner's topic in Odds and Ends

    I got nothing on my page,HG. But I have noticed the blog section has a bunch of weird entries related to Golden Goose Shoes??????. Don't know what that's about? Don't do the blog thing anyway,just ramble on aimlessly on the BMT Forum! Al
