I finished the bumper today. All it needs is the school bus yellow paint. I'm happy with the way it turned out. Here are some pictures. With respect, Frank

Tadaaaaa, We had a hammer ready but they slipped in effortlessly. Nice. Onto piston and rods.

Hell, Id be happy to give her 6 inches to play with, just sayin'

I like beer, and everybody loves boobage.

I might have gotten snacks for nothing, looks like Virginia's in the clear. At least I had a good excuse to go to the Winfall Supermarket, it's always an enjoyable trip.

After you put that shifter in, you can also remove the air bag from your seat..... You wont be needing it.. 🍻

Peterbilt??? Probably 5 ft tall and a glitter ball on the end.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good evening forum members. I have some updates on my restoration of the B-Model to share. First pic is a rig I made to press in the spring bushings. I made a plywood mockup (that's it laying on the floor) for the front bumper to get all of the dimensions before I ordered the steel and had it bent. I have been putting it together and came up with this. So far so good! Sure, saves money with the mockup before ordering the steel. Also makes it a fun projected! As always with respect.....Frank

Of all the times to not have a phone or camera!! "You won't be taking any pictures of that if you know what's good for you!" "Oh no, it's not for me Princess, I'm just doing it for the guys on BMT! I have my eyes closed now".

They started out saying "expect 21 inches or more" then it was 14", now the TV says 4-8". Maybe by Sunday they'll say "never mind" and I won't even need the snow removal expert that I hired to be on standby when I was in Winfall the other day.

Dunno about your weather, but we are on the kero kite getting out of Dodge as they say in the westerns

Never could figure out why them guys like that shifter to the roof, sitting on the floor, and a visor covering up three quarters of the windshield! terry 😂

Hey y'all, so if you have seen my other post, I have made a deal to buy my childhood dream truck off it's original owner!! It is literally THE truck that put the Superliner on top of my bucket list and made me want to be a truck driver!! A truck that I have dreamed about since I was 5 or 6 years old!! The truck is a 1987 Mack Superliner Freedom Edition. It is far from perfect as it has sat for many years but still has a lot of life left in her... so... As we approach the 140th Anniversary of Lady Liberty, this Freedom Edition is showing her age. She has weathered decades of work and countless miles-but her soul is still there. You can still feel it. She deserves more than to fade away or be forgotten. Now is the time to bring her back-not as a replica, not as a museum piece, but as a living, breathing reminder of trucking's golden era!! The owners, who were more then gracious to sell me the truck, have put work into it recently but she needs some much deserved love so she can rule the road for many years to come and to preserve a piece of trucking and American history!! All the work will be posted up on my YouTube (and possibly Patreon) from the day I pick it up, till the day she is all done and 100% again!! I have an amazing couple guys here that are willing to help me accomplish this goal. Guys who have been involved in truck building, customizing and restoration for many years If it's something you'd be interested in helping out with, please let me know, I'd be so greatly appreciative!! Preserve History: 1987 Mack Superliner Restoration

Hopefully we can get both done, I’m wanting to start on ours when it warms up in a month or so,, Keep us posted and take a lot of pictures and post them. My Grandson has got this one pretty clean, our first project is to remove the aluminum frame and change it to air ride. ( My back surgeon said the X-ray of my back looks like 10 miles of bad dirt road,,, I blame it on Mack Camelback Suspension! )

Neither do I !!!!!!!! Mother Nature put it there, She will take it away.....

I spent some time last night discussing the details with my motor guy. He says "run it". So I feel pretty good hearing that. He doesn't do large diesels but does Duramax and Power strokes and it is all the same....just a bit larger. On with assembly.

This is what 3rd world country type behavior looks like. Corruption and Chaos rule those environments. Whats even more telling is, this type of behavior when seen in America is almost always in Democrat ran cities.

I don't have a photo to prove it But was dropping my boy at Melbourne airport and Princess in her not so kindest voice exclaimed "would you look at that" So I did look and then got into trouble for looking Anyway the view was a lady with a dress on the was shorter around the waist than most mens shirts, bent over attaching the label's to her luggage I made a remark about the possibility of seeing bearded clam, than was informed by the Princess the clam was infact un bearded Wonders will never cease Paul

"make billions for himself" this one is great. Only President that came into office with more net worth than he left with and came back to do it again. Anybody really think the man isn't aware of his own mortality ? No doubt, we're at an ugly place. No getting out of it that's going to be pretty. Lots of these things that are unpopular need to be done. Personally......I'm not see'n Gavin Newsom or Harris capable of ever doing any of it. Not even that man's man Walz. (oh wait a minute...he's a little busy with his somalis people who truly love this country no profiting going on there)

Yes, you can always put more clothes on when it gets cold But when it gets really hot if I keep taking clothes off Illjust get arrested 🫠 Paul

Oh my god…. Someone has something that looks worse than mine!!!!!!!! Have a ball with it … bob

Well I was sitting about, twiddling my thumbs and heard something about shovelling snow Quickly stuck my hand up So was handed a shovel and pointed towards the drive way End result was less snow on the drive So I have pushed this white stuff off a drive Cross that off the list of lifes achievements lol Paul

Crazy how theres a bunch of White Americans calling Trump a bad man for getting Maduro, and Gazillions of Venezuelans are cheering in the streets... How much are these idiot protesters getting paid to be stupid? 😆

Fortunately My Mom & Dad took a lot of pictures as I was growing up, and it seems like I inherited that same trait,, if I take a picture of a truck or vehicle I try to put someone in the picture like they did,, it means so much more years later. ,, Top left is My Dad and Me in front of a old Plymouth he had in the mid 60s , notice trucking hat & cast on his arm, he broke his wrist helping my Grandfather put a clutch in a car ,, he did some trimming on it because he never missed a day of work,, he still drove a B Model and shifted a duplex with it . The color picture to the right is him and the B Model,, I had it colorized and blown up, the other with 3 black and white small pictures are Dad and Me, old Hennis Freight pictures from the early 60s . The other color picture is Dad and Kyle at the National Truck Show in Greensboro in 1999 in front of a ( unknown owner) LJ . Thanks for the interest,, I have blown up so many and framed them I ran out of room to hang them.

Merry Christmas,, as 2025 comes to a close it’s been a up and down year,, The year started finishing up the LJ as we were still digging out from the flood damage, as the summer went on we were fortunate to take the LJ to several shows, including Mack’s 125th birthday celebration! We were blessed to have a lot of fun. But as the year came to a close a couple weeks ago tragedy struck with 2 really great people I knew , Jamson Gibson a local big rig race driver , friend , really great guy , and Greg Biffle ( former nascar driver ) and his family who helped us a lot during the flood, delivered supplies to our Church very early after the storm with his personal helicopter . He was involved in a lot local charity work with kids. I had just talked to him a few weeks ago at a charity event at his farm. Very Sad, Hopefully 2026 will be better for all of us.
