Dodge trucks sell out before Australian arrival
Joe Ditchkus replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
Good information. Why are they so expensive in Australia ? Are other comparable makes of pickups as expensive as the Dodge ? Are the Japaneese and Korean trucks in the same price range ? Thanks Joe D. -
Why are the corporations moving to Illinois ? State of Illinois is broke from what I hear on the news.They cannot pay the lottery winners. There has to be some good reasons for the move to Illinois.Thanks Joe D.

I do not know if Volvo's are good or bad but they sure are lots of them in my area Northeastern Penna. being used for over the road,construction and local pickup and delivery. I noticed some fleets that used Mack and Freightliners are now using Volvo's. Anyone else notice this trend ?Thanks Joe D.

Green Dash while I was working today I was thinking about the air shift lever under dash sure looks like Huskiedrive to me plus the 5 speed shift plate on dash. Joe D.

After looking at the pictures again I do not think the interior picture is of same truck posted for sale. You can usually see the newer style dash from front of windshield. Joe D.

Someone swapped the dash for a 300 series dash. The 300 series dash like the one pictured came out in 1968.There were some early 359's that had the 200 series dash. Certainly a lot of work to put that dash in. Joe D.

With the popularity of the C-model Ford low coe I think the Econoline version would be a hard sell.

B67 starting voltage
Joe Ditchkus replied to hiwy50's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Unless it was converted to 12 volt it would be 24 volt start.I have a B-67 that is now 12 volt. I do not care for series parallel switches. Joe D. -

Why did they not use the flat rate manual for pricing ? Joe D. -
Larry I do not see an Intercooler on the Ebay engine. I had some 300's they had Intercoolers.Mine also had the spin on filters. You can pick up a Fuller trans reasonable 1100,1200,1400 series. Joe D.

I went by your place and saw the B Models in the field. We were paving down that way last year. They told me Boooy's cousin was supposed to get the B-Model. Thanks Joe D. -

Joe Ditchkus replied to Coenut's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I knew owner of B-Model pretty good. Bobby and I hauled coal to Nepco and Panther Creek years ago. He was driving Lonzetta's V8. Bobby was a true Mack man. He worked for a waste oil recycler and in the strippings after that. We had lunch together at Macungie a few times.Macktrucks4 I think I have been by your stash a few times hauling for Pennsy Supply. Joe D. -
If you have a Kenworth Dealer near you try them. My local KW Dealer sells Aeroquip by the foot along with fittings. You buy what you need and put hose together yourself. Easy job you only need a vise,lubricant and a wrench.

L Model
Joe Ditchkus replied to mack31's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Try Anthracite Auto in Scranton,Penna. Paul had some L-Model Macks and other old trucks. Joe D. -
That will be a nice combo when restored, it is good looking now. I sold a Crackerbox day cab 6V-71 5x2 short fourth. It was about the easiest truck I ever sold. I advertised in Wheels of Time and had over 20 callers. I wish I had 10 more to sell. Joe D.

Bob if you send me your address I will mail it to you. Joe D.
