That oughta keep ya busy and outa momma's hair for awhile.

yes, turboed 673 with a quadraplex.

Hey guys, I was sittin' up here in the cold and got to thinking about puttin' my B model to work next summer if things work out. I do have a few questions that arose as I was cipherin' and computin' . 1) My truck is a B753LS so being that it was originally a straight truck will that effect any thing if I decided to put a 5th wheel on it and and pull a trailer? (it already has a johnson bar and glad hands on it and a 5th wheel set on the frame not bolted on yet) 2) How (if treated right) well will my ole girl hold up to regular use again pulling gravel trailers? I know that sounds kinda stupid but I dont want to destroy this truck I just want to pick up 2-3 days a week hauling gravel. 3) How can I tell what rears (how heavy) are under my rig? I am hoping to get to work on my truck some more in February and hopefully have it finished so I can bring it home. Thanks guys.

@slpwlker I thought it looked really long too. @Mike Brown Welcome to the site.

Nice looking dump truck, I hope it serves you well for many years.

Cattle feed, or cake as its sometimes called. Our cake up here looks like giant 1/2-5/8 in round rabbit pellets and they are as hard as rocks.

What a bummer. I thought this "leader" was supposed to make more jobs and fix everything while giving us free medical etc. etc.. Hopefully the morons (yes I said it) learned their lesson and vote based on common sense rather than what can I get for free outa this. Better stop myself before I have a flippin' meltdown while ranting and raving about the state of this country.

MSU Northern in Havre MT has an awesome 4 year diesel tech program with a very high percentage job placement right out of school. I heard but dont know for a fact that caterpillar will hire 100% of the students with a B average or higher.

We have a 97 KW T800 converted to a straight truck and the first time I drove it it felt like a tippy waterbed on wheels. A little research and I found a kit called Timbren (I think its how you spell it) and it made all the difference in the world. I think it was $1700 installed if memory serves me correctly.

Wasnt the Plymouth Superbird banned from Nascar? I have heard that rumor for years just dont know if its true.

What a neat little tractor, I just got a 1948 ferguson TO20 and ended up finding new parts for it on antiquetractorsrus.com Maggie will be able to help you if anyone can. Good luck.

Do you have any full pictures of the truck? I would like to see one.

LOL! How true, now that you've opened my eyes to this phenomenon it all makes sense why I "irrationally" spent all that money on women when I was younger. Probably still would still be irrationally spending my hard earned money except that since I got married I never have seen my check book again. Oh well.

Also try the wiki pages on this site, they have a lot of really good info.

I love that tow truck, it would look good in my yard.

the L cab looks lots roomier. Wish I had one.

LOL I have a similar problem with my B model Mark. I am 6' 3" and weigh 275 so its pretty hard to fold up a tall fat guy into that short little cab with no leg room. Did anyone notice that trunk in the front of that B67? Kinda looked like it was a factory accessory maybe since it seemed to fit perfectly under the passenger side dash. Was it an early over night truck for clothing or something?

I guess when he starts listing parts I will give him a call and buy some goodies for my truck.

I havent done much business online and I dont understand most of the lingo so what does NOS mean?

Good to see it running. I never really cared for cabovers until I saw the old mack cabovers like yours, somethin' about the narrowing of the the cab and the cool fender steps makes me think I need one.

Right on Rob! Bunch a snivelin' liberal hypocrites is what they are. I had an email sent to me once and it had a picture of a news paper segment where some PETA PITA quoted something to the effect of quit killing animals for sport and food and go to the store and buy it where its made. How can you argue with stupid like that?

Cool video. Anyone have any Mack Logging Truck videos? I think they would be cool to see as well.

Hell yeah youre right on that. I drive a 79 Dodge by choice simply for the reasons you stated above. My wife thinks I should get a newer vehicle and I tell her I can buy a lot of gas and parts for that ole girl when compared to the payment and full coverage insurance costs that a newer vehicle would cost. Plus I use the hell out of my full size pickups and in my opinion these "compact pickups" do not get enough of a mpg increase for me to desire one. My brother has a 99 or 00 tacoma 4x4 with a 5sp and 4cyl and he averages 18 mpg, my wifes full size club cab chevy 3/4 averages 14.5 and can see 16-17 hwy. To me that's not a big enough difference for me to sacrifice the usefullness of a full size pickup.

So can the pin simply be removed to make an 18 spd out of it or is it more complicated than that?
