Have you got the old bearings out ? They should have a part number on them and should be marked, Standard, or .010,.020 or something like that and like Joey mentioned if the crank has been turned down it should be stamped with the amount it was turned down to. There’s a bunch of them still running . There are a lot of variables when your asking for bearings, you will have to get those numbers .

Haven't Drawn in Probably 3-4 years....Been talking about a cabover with my boss and I figured I'd draw it up and give it to him. No it's not a Mack but hopefully yall like it. Be cool to have it become Reality but who knows

I’m unsure if Frontier Transportation was one of his companies or perhaps it was the company he sold his business to, I think he sold out in the late 70s . But that may have been where he got the idea to paint it Yellow with a Red stripe, frame was also painted Red . I’ve found a lot of interesting information about this truck, but I’m sure there is some more information and hopefully pictures out there. I’ll continue to ask questions about it. Thank you for your help.

Even if you do a delete tune you still need to knock the guys out of the doc nd the dpf or it will plug solid and choke the engine out. What were the issues with the emulators?

This is what he really looks like.

Yes any help with part numbers would be great! Appreciate your response! No we have not looked for the numbers you mentioned .

I am selling my interior and dash if you want it let me know I am selling hood too if anyone needs parts I’ll tell u if I will sell

Interesting articles, thanks for posting. The yellow trucks with a red stripe, of Frontier Transportation Co. were a common sight in Alaska in the 70's and 80's. They did quite abit of the oversize/heavy haul/oil field related and other, during those years. Also were early users of long doubles in the early 80's (don't recall exact year) when the combination began being allowed in AK on certain routes. Trucks I recall seeing seemed to be all conventionals with a lift axle and also later some trucks adapted to also attach a tag axle behind the rear rear drive axle. I don't recall seeing this Mack , seemed that most of the fleet were KWs with sleepers, (8v92 powered iirc) and in early 80's KW and Peterbilts, some w/ Cat 3406 also as I recall.

R model, R688ST, 1984

I know all about LHD in an RHD country.......Not as bad as people think but there are times you need to be that bit more careful.... Paul

Yeah known as a cleat here in Ireland by the very few who know anything about Dayton wheels... Paul

Got some new hoses on and 2 of 2 driveshafts are on

Do you need part numbers ? P.A.I. may have them. Have you looked at the crank to see if there are cut numbers stamped in the counter weights?

Looking for main bearings for a 1962 B61T ENDT 673. Called a couple of Mack dealers including Watts but no luck so far. One no return call after a promise to and Watts didn't seem overly promising which surprised me being B model savvy . It was a maybe somewhere possibly sort of nonchalant. Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated!

ok, thanks for that explanation Paul. here in the states a centralized cab was called an RD instead of a DM, the DM had the offset cab just like the U model

Yeah, that's how they are called here for the most part.

Bob I reckon the New Zealand R 800 will have a 350 or 320 coolpower with its dual aircleaners from new Paul

Paul I think this tread is for ranting lol

Oh it’s the same routine here we used to laugh about politicians promising the world and doing nothing!!!!! Now it’s just scary…. Everything has gone crazy both sides making huge decisions that effect everyone and nobody gets to decide anything anymore…. Seems to be turning communist and 3rd world slowly… we have got way too many politicians now making way too much money…. And running the place into the ground

Thanks, Paul besides the fact that I’ve had enough of that thing for a little while… Bob

I figured you were gonna say they were all Mack engines. I was going to guess it would be quite a chore trying to put right hand drive in a DM 800…. Thanks for all that Paul …….bob

Enjoy the show, the truck will still be there tomorrow or the following days Paul
