So we took the big green International that runs now down to Cumberland, my home town, to a Christmas Parade today. Thing runs like a clock now, no issues. We took all three dogs, they did great too. We heard kids yelling "puppies!" all along the route.

Got the doors taken apart on the parts H Model, I think I’m going to be ok on all the parts that got washed away, hopefully I can catch a break on weather and start putting some stuff back in my doors,, I’m still finding a few parts on the creek bank, I had the front end off the first Mack I ever purchased back in 1978 , it was a 59 B61 , it’s been long gone but I saved the hood, radiator shroud, shutters, I had them laying on a parts conex/ container. All I found was the bent Radiator shroud. The Dog was unharmed! I cut the bent piece off and hung it in my office.

Nice!

Put some of the toys away until spring today. More room in the driveway for Thanksgiving visitors.

Hello forum members, yesterday the weather was right for a trip to our local salvage yard. We managed to get some parts for the B20 Mack. Parts needed were a right front fender, radiator shell, and shutters. Before the trip I had a chance to see if the headlights worked, and yes, they did. Time well spent while awaiting some tune up parts. Have a great productive weekend!.....Frank

I haven't been very active on BMT for the last decade. I bought this dump truck a year ago and been working on getting it back up and going. It was originally a Canadian 5th wheel truck converted to a dump truck. Has the E9-500 with 12 speed. 20k steer and mack rears on camelback. Really could use some shop manuals if anyone has extras they would part with.

Hi all,Today my wife and I had the privilege and honour of delivering the big man himself,Santa, to a local school for a few hundred very excited children in a very exclusive mode of transport.Santa said he never travelled in such style before and he might retire the reindeer and travel only in a Mack from now on as the Cruiseliner is more comfortable and reliable than the reindeer..It was a magical journey and the excitement on the childrens faces made it all worthwhile.My wife Linda,son Daniel,daughter in law Aldrith,daughter Emma and myself would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas.....

Morning, haven’t logged in years here, started out with a new company currently restoring a 1998 Mack rd688 former Mercer county landfill truck in New Jersey, we are about 70% complete with the job with a couple fall backs. Hood was cracked, found an aftermarket hood had it painted and found out it was warped, ordered another one and it’s on its way. Now we’re tackling to do the duel exhaust set up from a single, wait for the hood to come in, paint and then be sent out for fender and fifth wheel. I am much better with social media then forums so I apologize in advance if I post questions in the wrong sections

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone! .....Fred

Haven't posted in awhile. Still running the R Model and hauled hundreds of loads of gravel.

Here it is.

A friend sent me this picture from South Bend Washington I lived there when I was a kid it appears to be an E model Mack the writing at the bottom says it’s 100 feet long my father in law cut timber for years and he cut a couple trees for building keels in ships and they hauled them this way

I followed the contour of the brace on the back of the cab. I then welded a piece of 16 ga for a flange to bolt the boot to. I mimiced the same outline on the bunk and cut the bigger boot down to fit and seamed it at the very bottom. Hasn't leaked yet.

Nothing sounds like a 318 ,,, and it will draw a crowd at a truck show.

My first big truck I ever owned was a Federal 604 Still have it today, 671 in it these days awaiting me to rebuild everything when I get a moment putting the 671 motor in it It still runs and drives There is some old footage on video, before smart phones, possibly before mobile phones of me zooming about in it Young and full of hopes and dreams back then Paul

If I go to a show I want to look at stuff like this, not listen to some idiot blast his stereo

All, I don't often post about myself but I just want to say that this was a very special Thanksgiving. I went to the girlfriends home & before I grilled steak & she fixed broccoli & baked potatoes I had decided to give her the birthday gift that I bought her. I'll be at the races in Pensacola on her birthday. After giving her the earrings that were for her birthday I couldn't just stop there so I presented her with an engagement ring & her matching wedding band. She said yes & we're planning to marry in the summer of 2026. Right now she is going through some health issues and hasn't worked but a few days in 2024 so our 1st step is getting her strong enough to get back to work (she's a private contractor home care provider specializing in dementia patients) then getting a plan together to liquidate belongings and get two people who have lived on their own for a combined total of 36 years into one home. It was just the 2 of us when I proposed but we did get a picture later in the evening at the hockey game.

He is my father. It’s his fault. I could have collected stamps.

I finally decided not to separate the frame from the bogies.Talking to someone that has done it before telling me how intense of a job it is.So I got all the sandblasting done,now I’m just about done with the hand sanding.Hopefully on Monday a fellow will come down and give me a price to paint the whole project.Will post some pictures tomorrow.

Anybody in the northeast seen any? I've been watching the news, and people are reporting seeing drones all over the Northeast, and now in California too. The things are as big as a car they said, but according to the gummint people there's "nothing to worry about", and they're legally flown- even though nobody seems to know what they are doing, who's flying them, where there come from or anything else about them. Rachel Campos Duffy told some politician on tv the other day that all they had to do was follow it back to wherever it landed, and he immediately changed the subject. So they obviously know a lot more than they're saying. I have a feeling they're up to no good, maybe checking things out for a future terrorist attack. If I was in charge, which I am not, I'd shoot a few of them down and take a close look at the wreckage.

Everyone have a great one, stay safe and have a wonderful Christmas no matter whar your doing or who your with Paul

Everyone have a Merry and Safe Christmas..

Sheep Farmer Whirligig - $200 (Hillsboro) condition: excellent Sheep farmer whirligig. I did not make it, design it, or dream it up. It came to me through karma and good luck. I have searched thoroughly for the source of this thing, and as far as I can tell, it's from a deceased sheep farmer. I do not know if it is a self-portrait, or whether this even represents actual farming activities. It's funny, dammit. Don't be a Karen. If you're offended by it, just move along and be offended by something else. As for the price, it's not really negotiable. You either want this or you don't. If you do, you'll know that my price is fair. Hell, it's fair at three times the price. Finally, if you are unsure what you are looking at: yes, the farmer is nailing the sheep. Let's not mince words. You may not actually want this in front of your home. I actually DO want this in front of my home, but I have a wife who wisely has veto power on this sort of thing. It's Christmas. You can't just go out and buy this sort of thing. Scoop this up. Give the gift that keeps on giving.... it to the sheep. post id: 7808505344

Can you imagine how long it took to get the stink of Colt 45 and Newports out of the White House in 2016?

Johnson's also has a 300 series Brockway with a wrecker, that says "The Happy Hooker" on the front bumper, that is very sharp looking unit that has been in the Brockway Museum during the 2017 season. I forget the power train right now??

J.C. I am in total agreement with you.. These P.O.S.'s have made me become a cranky Man.. I have no interest in hearing their music, or seeing their movies. I know they have the same rights as we do, but they are so far out into outer space, they have no clue what regular hard working Americans do to survive... totaly out of touch with the real world.. They also support destroying us, they are sent here by Satan to 'F' us up..

These kind of trucks make me throw up in my mouth a bit t
