Mike & Larry, I saw it as a resource for people instead of the $10 a page sales on eBay. The power of the internet has saved me a bunch of money over the years and I'm always looking for avenues to same me (and those who have a similar interest) a little coin. Doesn't appear that too many large trucks are there, but it may be of interest to people... I know Barry posted the mix a paint shop ginned up for the color under an overspeed dash plate and have rounded up a few other codes on the forums. Thanks for the ideas & offers, Scott -

1 of 113 B-77's made? I am planning to restore this truck first, as it has history in Washington State via Goodfellow Bros construction, is somewhat rare, and has an L model cab. It used to have a Cummins NHRS-6 supercharged engine (long gone, as are the 5&4 and radiator). I did find a Cummins big cam NTC-290 that I plan to put in, along with a Mack quadraplex. The restoration process has been slow, but I'm learning a lot from the forum members and having fun - money permitting! -

I was looking at paint and primers for my truck (it's getting pretty confusing with all the options out there). I came across a historical paint chip library at DuPont. The link is DuPont Historical Color Chip Library I haven't found the color chips for Mack trucks yet, but did find the colors for a Coca-Cola truck! Let me know if you find the right pages for our old Mack trucks, and better yet, post them! Scott

Hi Rob, Yep, no whining, but the growling has started! The snow got me off guard this year, I normally have the old dog in the shop out of the elements. Not that it's any warmer in there, but at least it would have been dry. Best for you and yours this holiday season! Scott

got us a bit of snow and artic cold here in Washington State, but this dog ain't whining! Although my lab sure tucks her tail when it's time to head out! Have a safe one, Scott

Anybody up for a BMT Wiki topic to post these? -
Joe, You aren't out much trying to pull injectors and giving her a liberal dosing of PB or ATF over a week or two. My 4-71 has evidence of a rather large pipe wrench on the crankshaft snout/harmonic balancer (too dark to look tonight). Ease in to it, think about how far you are going when you start turning bolts, and let your knowledge guide you rather than emotion (sounds like I've been there, huh?)! Might pull the oil pan drain plug for a couple seconds & see what comes out (I know I'm crossing my fingers for oil)... Best of luck, it will turn out. Scott

Rob and Thermodyne, Both very good points made. My impression so far has been along with Rob's statements; 100% of the air is filtered (to a point/size). But then again, Thermodyne makes a good point with longevity with an oil bath. I have seen too many pieces of new equipment, technology, CAD designing down to the gnat's a$$, that it just can't hold a candle to the old stuff. Guess that is why we are all here with our passion for Mack trucks. But with everything else the same, as Rob says, "Of course I'm assuming good maintenance practices" is the key to long life of equipment and early detection of problems. Scott

Rob, Thanks for the information on flywheels and bellhousings - good stuff to know. The genset I have has an oil bath filter on the intake, but not much of a muffler on the exhaust. With all this, it is loud, but I'm thinking with a decent muffler it would be toned down to a decent level. Has anybody looked at efficiencies of an oil bath vs. a paper media intake filter? How about engine longevity between the two? I have my impressions, but want to see what other people think. Thanks, Scott

Where are you located? Try trucktrader.com to get some ideas of pricing, etc. What is your price range? You will be better off financially to put your capital outlay into the initial purchase rather than buy a fixer that takes a substantial amount of time to get rolling and cost at least twice what you think it will to get it running & reliable! Good luck in your search. Scott P.S. Post some pictures of your EH, join the EH vin list posting, and park it the "garage"!
