  1. What an odd mutt. I like it. 68-f-model you gonna look it over for us... Suspension type(Reyco)? Jake? Mileage? I'm certainly interested.

    Spent time moving mobile homes perhaps?

    Anyone else notice the salesman's name is Will Ferral???

  2. Does anyone know where the orange wire 2nd from bottom goes? LOL. I was bored today so I figured I would tear the dash out and count the wires. I was getting about ready to paint the interior and thought I would pull the dash off and do a better job. Then I found some bad wire repairs so I spent the day cutting out unused wires and fixing others. No wonder I never get much done.

    Jesus that looks like a lot of work.

  3. Well I got curious so I went to dynamat website, yeah I guess its the dynamat extreme I used, although I didn't think it was called extreme and the closest thing to the packs I bought is the bulk pack. I will try to dig mine out of boxes to see what it says, I've had it a couple years as I got a big discount so I bought 4 packs at once and I have two left. Looks like they have some other stuff I may try out in mine I maay do one layer of dynamat and one layer of that black foam version in 1/4" thick under my carpet and in the roof, firewall.

    Yeah dynomat is awesome stuff I did the cab of my 84 V8 Superliner and it cut the noise and heat from the firewall and floor in half. I could barely hear my phone before and after it was like the cab of my 04 Granite, I did the floor of the Granite also, Macks have issues with radiant heat on the firewall of V8 trucks and the floor of all of em. I promise its worth the time and money, I have two project packs sitting here waiting on time to pull all the interior out of my 85 and do the whole cab in it. I have been a believer since I used it on the first truck and I've used it ever since.

    How about the cheapie Lowes or Home Depot alternatives.?? Have any experience with that stuff?

  4. The bigger ones are original for the age of your truck. Generally head bolts break when the head gasket starts leaking antifreeze and the antifreeze gets under the head bolt and pops the head off.

    I have heard that they should be changed every time a head is pulled.... I know this engine has been apart, but they must have reused most of the bolts. As a course of preventative maintenance should that be a concern for a truck I'd like to put to work?

  5. I've been perusing Western Mack pics now that I'm the proud owner of a '80 RW, and one thing I've noticed that puzzles me and was hoping for some insights:

    All the WS Cruiseliner's I've seen have the Bulldog cradled in a horseshoe donning a (ridiculous or is it curious?) cowboy hat.

    Why is this not-so-subtle nod to the truck's Western (including the spurs) origins missing on all the Hayward built Superliners?
