  1. Thanks 'hatcity' I'll do that. Do you think there could be anything going on with the governor?
  2. Good morning all, I have a problem with my ENT673 quitting on me. A couple of weeks ago. going down the road about 45mph I shifted to 5/H. with in a couple of seconds the engine started shutting down. I got it running again after about 5 minutes. turned toward home and same thing happened again. ended up being towed back to the house. I figured it must have been the fuel system was clogged. Upon taking out the filters, they were pretty bad. I replaced all the filters and re-primed the system. The truck seems to run fine in the driveway. and even at a high idle. Just got towed back to the house again. Thus i am wondering if I still have a problem in the fuel system? or is it something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated. L Diddy
  3. You're quite ahead of me with Photoshop. I had to do it old school with paper and scissors. attached PDF. show's my plan. A-LOTTA SMACK.pdf
  4. That is some Funny "****". what are they trying to do. "Smuggle it in to Miami." L Diddy
  5. Hello again Rob, Thanks for the pictures. so true is the statement that sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Appreciate it. L Diddy
  6. How do "You-all" down under say it "G-day". Thanks' for the reply "Gearbox". With the difficulty I'm having in finding another B-Model cab around here in the Northwest. I have thought of adding a sleeper. Actually found one within a couple of miles. Member "Freightrain" is doing a fine job with his. I also thought it would be cool to find a B-71 with the integral sleeper. My issue is that I have 3 teenagers. and we typically travel some long distance with the horses. And with their long legs, and cell phones, I phones, head phones, you name it. I would like to have a little more distance between the back of my head and their "gear" plus just being Brothers and sister, going down the road. Thus, in my opinion. The work is worth the benefits. Have a great day' L Diddy
  7. Thanks for the information Trent. And with the information I have been seeing in "Wiki" of the series/parallel switch. Think I'll convert to 12volt. Best regards' Lonnie
  8. Thanks' Lmackattack In looking at the B model cabs. I see mine as a flat back B-613? and is the concave cab for trailer turn radius clearance? I don't completely understand "Dog house in cab firewall" though. There is a box on the floor between the driver and passenger seat. Thanks for your time' L Diddy
  9. Thanks Leversole, I found the PDF file for B Model cabs. And Thanks for the direction to the Wiki forum. Guess that's why I'm still a puppy. "Didn't Know." Best regards' L Diddy
  10. I have a B-613 cab on my "58". And I have been searching for the same type of cab to marry up to. For a crew cab conversion. How do other model B's compare in contour and dimension's. Thus, would any B-model match? Thanks' L Diddy
  11. Thanks for the welcome "bigen" no relation to P Diddy. But, witty question though.
  12. Thanks for the welcome and the info on "freighttrain". I will deferentially look him up. Best regards' L Diddy
  13. Thanks for the welcome Rob, You are correct in the former owner. My understanding from Scott is that he purchased the truck in Oregon. However he lives just North of the Columbia river. Here in Washington. You are also correct in that he kept well care of it. I couldn't believe all the documented info and hard to find manuals he gave to me. Thanks' L Diddy
  14. A-LOTTA SMACK.pdfGood Morning to all, My name is Lonnie Renz, but from here on out I will go by L Diddy. I am New to the Old Mack Forum. However,I have been viewing the correspondence through you members for quite some time. Your correspondence has helped broaden my love for Old Macks. My father is a recent retired long hauler. And along with my Grandfather, have instilled in me a love and respect for things built tough and meant to last. I had been looking for a Mack model B for about 7 months. and was fortunate to find one about 6 weeks ago. I was also extremely fortunate when I purchased my 1958 B-613LT Dump. Which had an in-frame 6 years ago. and runs great. It also came with an additional ENDLT-673 with a jake. and an additional TRTL-72 Duplex transmission. Being so lucky I probably used it all up and can forget about purchasing any more lottery tickets. NOT! I have so much I want to do in restoring this MACK into a thundering road warrior. My biggest undertaking with this restoration is that I plan on converting it into a crew cab with a goose neck hitch, dump flat bed. For hauling my 40' Brawley 5 horse trailer (coming in at 13,366 lbs.empty). My wife and I along with our 3 children enjoy taking the horses all over riding in the mountains or at the beach and competing in rodeo's. If any of you have undertaken a similar approach or know of someone that has? I would greatly appreciate starting a conversation. Especially the conversion from a single cab to a crew cab. Thank you for your time, L Diddy
