They are 24 x 8.00 and they were bought new with a set of brand new 12 x 24 radials in 2003 for a b81 project. The tires have already been sold.

I have 10 brand new never mounted 24" rims and lock rings for sale.

$1500.00

P.L.Duncan Trucking, in Cumberland, Va. used to have an F model with a V12 in it. It was eventually wrecked and totaled in the crash. But they would go- A man from Buckingham had one in a cabover Peterbilt and had it leased to H.H.Moore Trucking. He pulled chips from Dillwyn to Covington with it, and i'd see his driver hook to a load of chips at the wood yard and take off down rt.15 and I remember thinking that I couldn't take off that fast bobtailing. I was driving an International with a VT903 at the time.

Johnny Harris had a V12 Fmodel too. He told me the story of when he stopped at the truckstop in Berkley Springs, W.V. one night and got to talking with a couple of "large car" drivers. They were all going to the same area and decided to run across the turnpike together. When they went outside to leave one of the other drivers asked Johnny what he was driving. He pointed at the F model, with a load of green lumber behind it. So they asked him if he minded if they pulled out first so he wouldn't hold them up, because they were in a hurry.He said "not at all, go ahead". You had about 6 or 8 miles of 2 lane to run before you got to I-70. The other guys pulled out, Johnny followed them up rt.522 to 70, and the first big hill you get to he pulled into the left lane and smoked them both. He said by the time he got to the top of Town Hill Mountain he couldn't even hear them on the radio.

And "Hard Rock" told me one time that they had several trucks hauling chips from Rupert,W.V. to Covington, from the yard Burns hauls from. He said it got so cold up there one night that every single truck except one froze up and cut off during the night, even with them idled up. The only one that kept running had a 318 Detroit in it.

On the other hand, the old saying "it'll pass anything but a fuel stop" was pretty much true about those V12 Detroits.

That's all the Detroit Diesel stories for today,........ unless I think of another one.

Those F models were bought new by Holland Lumber Co. from Millers Tavern, VA and Dick Holland claimed they would top Afton Mountain with 90,000 on at 45 to 50 mph. I think there were 3 or 4 of them and when they were sold off Dick lost track of them. He and P.L. were good friends which is I guess how he ended up with one.

Early TS24's used them in the tractor before being replaced by 12v71

The weird thing is it is a RL795 (325 Maxidyne) but it says it has a twelve speed which was mostly found in the 797's with the 375 thermodyne.

I also would be willing to trade for a good LTL hood.

I have 10 brand new never mounted 24.00 tube type dayton rims for sale. These rims were bought for a B81 I was going to restore and decided not to and bought the LTL I have now.

$2000.00 obo

IH made their own components at one time.

An E9 is an awesome motor until you have to work on one that someone didn't take care of or abused. They are not as forgiving as the old e6's. If you have to do major work on an E9 in today's world you will soon know that the highest priced items are not painted cat yellow but, instead Mack gray!

Mackdaddy I sent you a PM. Thanks

Anybody else notice that the E9 predecessor was an option F735 ET1005? How did they get it in the frame? Never saw this listed as an option in any truck other than superliner or cruiseliner.

I had a '85 magnum that was one of the canada trucks. It had the 500 E9 and a 12 spd with 44k camelback spoke cone style rears and alum. fronts. I will look for the serial #.

Holland Lumber Co. in Millers Tavern, Va had several FS771's with 12v71's and 13 speeds.

This truck was factory built with an Allison.

Our company had a twin screw Mason Dixon B67 with a 711 and a unishift for a lowboy tractor in the mid to late 70's

Is the LT hood still available?

I don't know why he got a 310 motor unless someone made him believe it was like the old 300's (what a joke)

Yes he wanted to retire but just decided to keep the truck and his Landoll until someone made him a fair offer. He sold both and now I think he will probably just do consultant work for rigging jobs on the side.

I know the gentleman that owned that truck he was in the rigging and hauling business. He took excellent care of his stuff.

Judging by the large radiator and the 864 it is probably a B-815 which is kinda rare.

Eubank trucks in Richmond, VA has one sitting out front.

_{Would you be willing to sell the hood separate?}

Hey guys don't group all LT and LTL owners together. I have met assholes who restored many models of mack and I have met LT owners who were as nice and helpful as any of you guys. I own a '49 LTL and I am doing my own work and I respect anybody who restores any vintage truck at any level. From what you have said I feel like I may have gotten a good deal on mine, I paid under $10,000 and it drives and runs with zero rust. Anyway just don't be so quick to judge a man by his truck for better or worse.

Thanks

Does anyone have a LT or LTL with one of the custom new hoods made by the sheetmetal company in Oregon? If so can you tell me if they reproduced the raised bead on the side of the top to match the raised bead on the cab and door.

Thanks for the help.
