    how about just post some pictures. not that big of a deal

    seriously i get it but the 400 is obsolete and even in the 60's and 70's a 500 was slapped on in its place. its not the end of the world

    red putty on those doors looks like lacquor based 'Nitrostan'. i remember when it use to come in the little yellow tube and you wetsanded with 220 and the entire floor would be RED

    done two JLG 600's in my day, put new power cords all the way (21 to 40 wireS) thru the booms and put all new ends on both ends(you couldnt buy the cord with ends on anymore) and its not really a bad job long as your patient. elements kills any of these machines, the upper controls always need to be covered with the canvas cover.

    put a 500 on it and be done. we have about 10 B42's in various states and most over the years have had a 500 installed in place of the 400

    dont forget those 5/16 Philips head fine thread bolts Mack used originally to hold the old style shell to the headlight panels either.....

    been some years since i tore a 237 head apart, do they share the same seals and tophat oil shields??
  8. Maddog13407
    I agree.nothin is original anymore and who knows what some one did. Google search for 673 or711 valve seals shows different results to.guess I'm looking for a part number for those oil shield s and the thick square cut seal that goes inside them.seems to me years ago mack sold the whole kit in like a blister pack with the tophat shields and seals?
  9. Maddog13407
    There must have been a year these came out?63 711 I'm doing heads on has the tophat collarette s to hold a thick probably 1/2 or 3/8 seal.a bunch are broke...1965 711 I took apart for parts has totally different intake valve spring retainers, with a liner and a common o ring around top of valves?
  10. Maddog13407
    Anyone have a part number for the tophats that hold the seals? Took.one motor is apart that had no seals......the other had seals in these tophat things but about half are broke. Of course no one you talk to at mack has a clue...
  11. Maddog13407
    late 61, early 62 was about the cut off for 'stock' colored frames. after that they were black stock. thats not to say you still couldnt order them colored but to simplify things Mack went with black frames, bumper and fuel tanks

    sounds like your better off finding a truck already built. the motor is an easy change as long as you stick with a 237, 250, 285 anything e6. Matt Pfahl is the one to talk to or Kevin All. they have built many and know what fits. the front axle gets tricky as the U bolts in a B model are a weird spacing. i know some IH and Freightliner axles will fit
  13. Maddog13407
    on this taboo topic again. workin on a 711, new heads and top end. anyone have a part number for the valve seals on the intakes? one i pulled apart for the heads had NO intake seals, other motor with a good bottom end has 5 out of 6 seals and the last had an O ring someone put on. didnt Mack use to sell a kit with the metal shrouds and washers with the seals with them????

    please dont paint frame in rustooeum, you wont be happy. it will be chalk in less than 6 months. acrylic enamel is not much more expensive or nasan epoxy black...
  15. Maddog13407
    wont draw enough air facing forward to make a difference honestly.
  16. Maddog13407
    Matt Pfahl... wheres your expert input??
  17. Maddog13407
    looks like an R column was swapped in with an MB steering wheel and a 237 with real jakes. what a Hoss
  18. Maddog13407
    Been a while but didn't they make 18 studs then 18 studs with the bigger corner studs then finally the 20 stud fire ring one? I know my end707 doesn't have grooves cut in head but has the 237 fire ring gaskets on it. Can't remember but I think the liner was cut??
  19. Maddog13407
    i know none of the Gurus are on here anymore. my end707 has the 20 stud, 237 head gaskets and fire rings. another 711 im working on has the 18 stud heads with the big corner bolts. when they went to the big corner bolts, did simply ream the hole out in the gasket for the bigger bolts or did Mack actually make a bigger gasket??? and is the 3029-8213C - head gasket - EN707/END(T)673/END711 with 18 studs the newer version with the corner bolts bigger or the older version ?? btw Mack is in love with that part number. they want $258.77 a piece for head gaskets

    looks like she was restored back in the good old Tidewater Mack days.. thats the fuel tank Bob use to sell as a replacement
  21. Maddog13407
    why not save the whole truck?? kills me when a Mack like that wore the same dog or shell for 70 years and someone scammed it off it
  22. Maddog13407
    i dunno why so many are stuck on two and three piece rims and bias ply tires. yes they look better and more period correct on an older truck but if you plan on runnin it at all put the damn tubeless on it and be done with it. real 22's are nonexhistent and real 20's are china junk that are used on container chassis, for a reason, they are JUNK!.
  23. Maddog13407
    screwed that there is not an 11.26.5 or screwed when you open your wallet for a 1100x24??
  24. Maddog13407
    dump the 10.00 or 11.00 22 and put some 11 24.5's on it youll be happier and they ride better and they are available anywhere. 1000 22 is equal to an 11 24.5 and a 1100 22 is equal to a 12 24.5... might have to play with spacers and wedges on back but youll be much happier. stock Macks had 3 5/8 spacers on the back
  25. Maddog13407
    B62 was a tandem only to actually.... B60 was usually a single axle,,, B68 covered both after both the B60 and 62 were rid of after the 50's. all had the 60 thousand or 30 ton weight rating
