Duck: ''dont ask me, ask them ,im just runnin for my life myself''

Melissa: ''but they're all following you''

Duck: ''no they aint, im just in front''

pretty odd all thru the B model years they only had one recall for aluminum spring caps....

wow, where is that stretched out R700 today??? looks like glitter shifting handles and all. probably came back as a F-ing Prius

i always liked the C models. just like the H models, so ugly you gotta love them

B42P? looks pretty solid except back of cab. def a 56, has the old style bicycle mirrors on it and the fuel tanks without the tread on them yet. those are early. 6 volt i assume? has the smallest weirdest battery box i ever saw. looks like non Mack but never know, could be made for one 6 volt battery.

haha the Dm we have at work has a regular blue big deflector behind the bulldog that someone put on there. when i started at work i was like wtf goo does that do? keep the bugs off the passenger windshield?????

go figure, seems like somehting like that always happens. usually its something thats irreplaceable or a pain in the ass to find a pattern

get that driver window fixed from Springfield Mike?

ok i know we have all watched it 10 bazillion times. was bored and watched it today. noticed at the beginning when dirty lyle pulls them in the bear port, when the camera zooms down twards duck's hammer foot the truck has two brake pedals! at the end of the movie when they are takin off from alverez texas, it has the regular Mack tredle valve and pedal. anyone know if this was a screw up or two brake pedals for some kinda stunt? also noticed when pig pen hits the ice cream truck, when he is tryin to slow down, the door is already layin in the street. and why the hell would the sheriff ''Stacey Love'' be in Texas in that shot chewing on his cigar when he was suppose to be hundreds of miles away in new mexico? just my pet peeves about a 35 year old movie . you watch it 5000 times, you pick up on stuff.

always wanted to paint a B model Mack orange with a tan interior but tan steering wheels for B models are like hens teeth and if you paint one it only wears off unless you put 25 coats of clear on it.

is that a 9 speed overgear main box or a 10 speed direct. with a 9 speed you will probably have a lot of overlapping gears with that brownie and might now offset the roadspeed with the gas rear end. might be better off findin a 4.62 or something closer hogs head.

that thing is sweet. has some nice lookin sheetmetal on it. sure pisses me off to see a nice old Mack last fifty years and some asshole get out a hacksaw and steal the goddamn bulldog.

i just bought the Mopar B Mack firetruck from evilbay. im strapped myself now. acquired three b models and a fruehauf trailer within the last year. i gotta cool it haha.

nice. i see you have a 67 series transmission. that would make it a true B43 now. is that an 8000 series brownie box or a 6000 series? my B613 had a straight 5, 77 series with a 6200 series brownie 3 way. it was used for spreadin liquid asphalt so that way they would make it creep or go fast with overdrive. Keith from this site bought the brownie off me a few years ago for his R400.. have not hear much from him lately tho. what did he end up doin the the frame motor mounts? have 1/4 inche machined off? just wondering.. the number i have for the front engine mount donut out of the tidewater Mack catalog is 20QL242. this might be superceeded by a newer number but i know i bought two of them in the past two years ao they were still available.

id get the sawsall out vinny and cut it back about 6 inches from the front and make one of those Mack wall hangers out of that. its already my favorite shade...

id kill for one of those white r model steering wheels......

yup, thats right in my village, Longhorn trucking. guy rolled it last week, something happened with the trailer. guy has worked for them for 10 years and got fired after this. could have happened to a bigger piece of shit truck. truck has been at Albany Mack more than it has been on the road. they had so many problems with it that Mack sent them a new CH up to use as a back up tractor.

the round donut that goes around the timing cover and into the hanger can still be bought from Mack. usually around 10 bucks. if you need i can find the part number somewhere.

its easier when your not driving! i usually try to tell my fiance' to take a picture when were driving. to which i get the reply,'' what truck? whats Mack? i didnt see any Mack''

hey i want one!

by the looks of that blister on the sleeper and the bottom of the doors, its most likely like most f models, a rot wagon

gonna run into the same problem the rest of us have young vinster. we wanna save EVERY one of them but were all poor bastards

speaking of outlaw Fetterly, here is a pic of his old R700 from the springfield Mass show

yup, looks like it has a 711 in it with the lubrifiner up high. hard to get paint to stick to something thats been burned tho. tried paintin a dump box that had been burned, they paint would just not stay on it. maybe with some etchin primer and sandblasting it might help
