mechohaulic Posted yesterday at 12:25 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:25 AM ever think of posting this DM rebuild on U tube as an editorial for us folks to learn ?? don't know how that works but your subscribers might help with the $$ to repair that DM. from fiberglass to steering box over haul this has been for me very interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/73/#findComment-580495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted yesterday at 12:30 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 12:30 AM Yes, I’m anxious to get back on the fiberglass and yes, I kick myself in the ass every day for not buying that nose for $150 that was in way better shape than this one. I was right there with a pick up truck and the money 300 miles from here That was a very dumb move But yes, it will be straightened out just a little bit more time than I thought a pretty anxious to get this box wrapped up and change that rear seal and get it out of the garage Funny you mention YouTube one we were on our ship cruise to Alaska last year. I had on a watts sweatshirt that had a super liner on the back and it said built like a Mack truck. I was hanging over the rail, taking a video. and somebody asked me if I was a tuber I laughed and said now I’m just a goofy site see er 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/73/#findComment-580497 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve probably mentioned I’ve made a bunch of bonehead maneuvers in my life. I could’ve been sitting in paradise with millions, if I was to make the right move at the right time but who knows eats at me as much as selling my 62 Ford wagon 490 it only had 78,000 miles on it. Yes I’m still kicking myself and I sold that thing Around 35 years ago.

I don’t know what the weight is on the tandems but at one time somebody change both drop ins they are a different color than the housings as far as bumper. It will be painted black if I live that long, we have a steel yard here in Reno that sells by the weight I will just go down there and grab a chunk oh something that looks good 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/73/#findComment-580515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
