Jason roop Posted Tuesday at 11:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:06 PM I bought a new gold dog for my r model, an the front paws don't set flush on the pedestal, neither on the old one or new one. Anyone had this problem? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75846-gold-bulldog/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted Tuesday at 11:32 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:32 PM I don't recall the front legs sitting on the pedestal . one of those things didn't get attention. to me it's another sign of the times items being made cheaper in quality not price. as a thought . cut two pieces of the rubber/ felt put on chair bottoms ? having sticky glue ? install on front legs . neat job in cutting won't be seen but might take the gap up and add support?? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75846-gold-bulldog/#findComment-580571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted Tuesday at 11:44 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:44 PM would be interesting to see if someone else has this situation ? grinding the back legs might require some engineering if I remember the back legs sat on a beveled pedestal . grind one too much the ole doggy will be cock eyed . 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75846-gold-bulldog/#findComment-580579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted Tuesday at 11:46 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:46 PM And the back legs are threaded. So the bolts will need washers to fit right. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75846-gold-bulldog/#findComment-580580 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mechohaulic Posted Tuesday at 11:57 PM Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 11:57 PM I had the bulldog and pedestal mounted on my '77 F-350 hood. had to slightly notch the bottom center to fit ford hood. don't remember how doggy sat. he did have a custom made red/white/blue winter hat to keep his ears warm. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75846-gold-bulldog/#findComment-580583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 70mackMB Posted yesterday at 03:11 AM Popular Post Share Posted yesterday at 03:11 AM We were at the Mack museum a few years ago. The older lady in the store said she had worked at Mack for years. She didn't like the style of the new bulldog. Said it looked like a bitch taking a piss!!! LOL! My son's '75 MB fire truck has a red, white, and blue sweater. l still have the red scarf off my '77 R model thats at least 40 years old. It's keeping the dog on the ash tray warm. .....Hippy 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75846-gold-bulldog/#findComment-580590 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago What cracks me up about this thread, is that I pride myself on what I know about Mack's, but I cant say with 100% confidence about how the Doggy stood there.. It's not like I haven't opened thousands of Mack hoods..

I’ve never really noticed if the pause touched the pedestal or not.

mowerman Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago yeah, moving as a real bear I wind up doing the same thing you know it’s bad enough. This house is way full of shit but then I’ve got two sheds and a workshop and a garage. It would take quite a bit of help to move out of here.
