countryboy5487 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Our mack dealer here in Charleston is actually still pretty good with the older stuff. I guess with alot of older dogs still hauling coal there still selling parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Try Springfield Mack a.k.a Ballard Mack or Courvilles Garage in Montville, CT. They both know the older trucks if you get the right people there. Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r686st Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Got the truck fixed this week. I got a new clutch, motor mounts, flywheel resurfaced, pinion seal, flex pipe in the exhaust, top to the fuel pump to stop oil/fuel leaks and new oil pan gasket to stop the oil leak. I got the two windshields installed. Finally, got the lettering done(picture included). Tomorrow I'm going to wash, grease, adjust brakes, connect trailer and fix one brake light. I'm going to be working nights this weekend again so I'm excited about making some money with my investment.BTW: I turned the fuel up on the pump so I'll be rollin' coal!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post r686st Posted November 20, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2013 Everything went well this last weekend working nights. I had to replace a brake chamber and air line once I got home because they were leaking. Turning the fuel up sure did help this truck come alive! I'll be paying my federal heavy vehicle tax this week so I'll be completely legal. I included some pictures for your enjoyment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
