  1. I believe that none of the gas jobs had functional shutters, but I am not certain.
  2. I’m not trying to rub salt in your wounds. How much will you have to take the truck apart to get the engine out and how will you avoid messing up the paint? I’m no mechanic. I’m sorry for you loss. Thoughts and prayers and all the other dumb stuff that people say. I know you can fix it though. Mike.
  3. Well that sucks. Sorry to hear it.
  4. Sounds great. I’ll be up in Canterbury on the 28th. Can I take it for a test drive? Mike.
  5. Daryl Emery in Hamburg PA bought a lot of F model sheet metal at an auction 12 years ago. Look him up. Mike.
  6. I got 1 new torsion bar with my ‘64 F715 but I need two. Watts could not come up with one. Let me know if you find a hoard. It sure is a pain in the ass tilting the cab. Mike
  7. Where are there are the trucks?
  8. I don’t have an answer for you, but my A model fire truck has a red painted interior and you can see the green under it where it was worn. I’m sure the red was done by Mack as all the Mack fire trucks I have seen had red interior. The exterior of mine was ordered yellow. Just because yours has green under the brown doesn’t mean Mack didn’t paint it brown. Mike
  9. Welcome. That’s a lot of years with Mack. Do you have any photos to share?
  10. Gotta move that appointment up so you can drive it to Mack Day next week.
  11. The rockers and floors are rusted, but otherwise it is solid. There are places where there are bare metal. I might need to have it clear coated, but I will not have it painted. Can anyone recommend a good mechanic who would go over the entire car? Thanks. Michael
  12. The H613 is 1 of 3, just the only one left. I feel very lucky to own it. I am very proud to own all of them. My father has another MH of theirs and a Brockway 257. I am proud to preserve their history. Last month we went to New Hampshire and picked up a 1954 Chevy wagon that their salesman used in New York. It hasn’t run in 50 years though. It needs complete gone through. Also, I made two great friends in Tom and Ron Smith. Mike
  13. Now you really don’t have an excuse to not drive it to Mack Day.
  14. Mine’s a piece of junk compared to that one.
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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
  19. I sold an EQSW a couple months ago. I bet that guy would sell it.
  20. Looking like it will be done for Mack Day. Keep plugging along.
  21. 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.
  22. I believe I saw Ken in passing at Macungie this year. He was doing well last year at Mack Day. Mike
  23. 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
  24. I thought you quit on this project. I was going to come up with a trailer and have you push it on with a bulldozer to get it out of your way. Think of all the time you would have without it. But if you decide to keep going…I hope I get to see it sometime. The offer is still open if you do give up on it. Mike
