MACKS

Like you shoe!! Paul

Around here they usually put up a big ass sign that says ALL TRUCKS RIGHT LANE and that looks like a truck to me..lol

Very nice,is that a new clutch or did you clean up the old one?

Awesome,every one of them,thanks for posting the pictures,are you saying that actual bike was in the movie?

Totally opposite from riding any other bike. Left hand throttle, right side tank shift # speed with neutral between each gear. They were done that way so you could ride and shoot a pistol. One tank was all fuel, the other was half an oil tank for engine and the tank were all soldered together. Ride was nice as they had a sprung rear axle and a sprung seat post. I liked the springer front end better than the Hydraulic front end. The engines were like any low compression flat head, out of time or crap fuel and if you ran aluminum heads carry a 5/8 box wrench and spare head gaskets. I think the 80' Chief engine was more ballsy the the UL engine. Belt driven generators which was easily converted to a GM alternator. Looks wise with the skirted fenders, gen belt guard, full chain cover and tool box painted up right, they are the most pleasing bike to look at IMO. My Super Glide I put Indian Chief fenders on it.

THe New Indians are cool. They have the looks and style but to me they could have done like H.D. and give the power plant more Indian heritage.

Power plant is Polaris I think and quite a few had oiling problems. The fix was like H.D. did on the early '66 to '67 Shovel heads with an oil line between the heads to prevent the rocker shafts from going dry.

If you all want I'll dig out some of my ancient photos of the K. Servi Car and Chiefs and post them up. Paul

Single Mechanical Brake. . . Not Brakes.

Had a shop from 1975 til 1983 called Genuine Motorcycle and Machine in Glen Cove. I did Indians, Harleys and all British. I personally owned over the years a 1947 Triumph 500, a 1957 K model (grand daddy of the sporty) 1922 JD, a 1940 ULA , a 1946 Knuckle (punched out to 80c.i., a 1971 Super Glide and a 1947 and 1952 Indian Chiefs.

I'm 62 years old. Riding since 1970 and have never ridden a German or Japanese bike. Pop told me in 1969 if I brought home a Jap Bike he would kick my A$$ all over N.Y.S. So my first was a 1965 Electra Glide that was in a house fire. What a money pit.

How I kept the Sporty all these years is a mystery to me.

Yaphank across from the Fire House on Main Street. The Cruise Night / Bike Nite is every TUESDAY

Take Rte 101 north past LIE to the light past lake. Right turn at the light for 101, Main Street and Yaphank - Middle Island Rd and on right. Bike nite is the same night as the Cruise Night at the Fire House

Paint and Chrome is 35 years old, needs to be freshened up some. The retro style is in voque I'm told I'm chicken to let the Durfee Girder leave my possession though.

May actually take it down to the Red River Inn for Bike Nite one Thursday. Less than 3 miles from home.

Sweet ride Chevy!

Ask Barry at Watts,bet he has them.

Those filters have to be available somewhere,still lots of trucks with that set up out there running everyday.

And than they go ahead and install hundreds of acres of solar panels in the farm fields on Edwards Av,the people have not problem with that?its the most unsightly thing iv seen in years,Id rather see the dust trailing behind a tractor plowing said fields any day!!

Give em hell!

Wonder what kind of shape it's in now,any more info on it?

Check your states weight laws and see what you can carry,you'll need to carry the same as everybody else on a paving job,make sure your truck will dump into a paver,sometimes depending on the body the tail gate will bottom out in the paver box before you can get it high enough for the asphalt to slide out.Good luck

A four inch foam roller works great on rims,I use gray rustoleum with a little silver mixed in,looks awesome.

I would go with the Eaton easy pedal,witch ever one mack recommends,most likely the same one that's in it now,its important to have the right torque rating.

Nice job all around,a piece of carpet trim along the edge of your mats would look sweet and keep any dirt from getting underneath,thats how I did mine anyway.

Macks the LDA valve has nothen to do with the park brakes.We are into two different system now.

Ok thanks.

The E7 has a LDA valve which some call it a aeroid valve.It has to have a line connected to it to the intake manifold to see boost or it will never fuel 100 %.

I never messed with mine on my 96 cl,e-7 but sometimes I wonder if it even works,can't tell any difference as far as smoke coming out of the stack doing a snap test with or without the brake applied,should i see a difference,one think for sure my oil stays clean between changes,there is no soot at all in the engine or the oil,But I have a feeling it should be getting more fuel.

If your gonna drive it you will have to keep fluid in it,its almost impossible to steer a truck that has power steering that is disabled because of a bad pump or no fluid going to it.How bad does it leak,can you bring enough extra fluid with you to get home?
