Do you have a photo of your H on here? I'd like to see it.

Mine’s a piece of junk compared to that one. 

He usually brings it to Macungie and Mack Day so you can look him up in a couple weeks if you get there.  He drove my H613 to Macungie a few years ago and caught the H model bug.  It is a neat truck.  Mike 

Less than a month till Mack day. The paint on the hood will be dry by then. Maybe hold off on the rollback until after  the show so that doesn’t keep you from bringing it. 

39 baby Mack says the bulldogs on the flaps are supposed to face in!!!  Looks great. Should be ready to drive to Lititz no matter which way they are facing.  Mike. 

I’d try Cal Little in Hummelstown PA.  Pine Hill Trailer Sales.  He might have one or more. If you find one you can have more made.  Mike 

I sold an EQSW a couple months ago.  I bet that guy would sell it. 

Looking like it will be done for Mack Day. Keep plugging along. 

I got a $1000 quote for a core for a 53 Chevy pickup.  I need to send my stuff where you get truck cores for $750.  

Way to go.  

My 1951 405A is 6 volt.  Also positive ground.  It should not matter if it is positive or negative ground.  Just hook positive to positive and negative to negative to jump it. I don’t remember if we did a tune up in my 405A.   We might have just cleaned everything up and ran it. I think we replaced the coils but if we did we just went to NAPA and asked for a 6 volt coil.  They always ask what I am working on.  I tell them but them tell them what parts I want. Let’s see a photo. Good luck.   Mike 

If you need photos of my LFT as guidance let know.  It is pretty much stock.  I’m glad for easy photos now.  I forgot how to put stuff back together in minutes of taking it apart.  Mike. 

How about the story on the Jeep?  I am looking for a WWII jeep.  My son is really into WWII right now.   

I’ve had the A30 for 11 or 12 years, but have done nothing with it. It is very clean. Just a little rust on the fenders at the bracket.   
A friend worked out of the overnite terminal in Stowe PA when they were bought out.  I asked if he could get me a sign from a trailer but that was the best he could do.  I have 2 overnight H63’s that are on the project list. Mike 

1964 IH V200 open cab hooked to a 85’ pirsche aerial from Marion in Reading PA. It is hard to get a good phot they way it is stuffed in there. Mike 

Great.  The water pump on my A30 firetruck needs rebuilt, but I am considering selling it rather than fixing it. 

Glad to hear you are taking care of a unique truck.  Not many A20’s left.  I send my water pumps to Arthur Gould Rebuilders.  They do nice work and stand behind it.  Mike 

Maybe I could apprentice with one of you guys.  I wish I could do work like that. Mike. 

I AC is a fire truck and it has a switch in the dash for distributor, mag or both.  The spark is in the left life of the steering wheel and I push it all the way up to start.  
My AB has only a mag but has been messed with and has a newer switch on the dash.  The linkage for the spark and hand throttle are gone so I cannot adjust it.   Mike

I'm probably off. From what I saw in a quick search I did, the 421 was a "cheap" version of the 42. No oil cooler and several other things deleted. I think I was mixing it up with the 422, which did have an overhead valve engine. There was a site from where the B model registry came from that had a lot of engine and transmission reference material from Mack posted on it. I can't seem to find it, so it may be gone.

422 has an over head value Thermodyne.  I think an EN 460.  Mike. 

While there were a lot of EQ’s made, not many remain. Thomas Warth’s book say 10,661 were built between 1937 and 1950.  Considering production ended 72 years ago it is no wonder there are not many around.  
Welcome to the forum.  Let’s see a photo.  Mike. 

Nice truck.  I’m glad you got the radiator figured out.  Your license plate it for a half ton truck. You should get one that starts with a Y.   Mike 

Congratulations.  That’s just what you needed.  Post more photos of the trip.  Mike
