Went to dinner but gearhead204 answered it

replace the water pump, just because it seems fine don't mean that it is, if it was caveating causing the air bubbles a $75 water pump is cheaper than tearing into the engine.

More than likely it was shrinkage as it only happened when it was left out side for awhile. Antifreeze will go where water and oil won't meaning that it is a smaller molecule, if it is not leaking and shows no sign of a leak other than that small puddle I would not worry about it. The freeze point is good with mix and the line is not leaking when running, it was probably a shrinkage issue.

If you cant see any circulation it is the water pump, have seen the impellers fall off as most are pressed fit, may not be overheating because of the cold weather

when you look in the radiator can you see it circulate? May still have some trapped air, on my B this past summer the radiator was burping and it was the water pump, it was circulating enough that I trouble shooted everything but, the last thing to do was replace it and found that was the problem all along.

thanks posting the pictures, neat trucks

That's a good deal, when you packing it in for the Republic of Texas?

is your tank aluminum or steel?

Anybody buy it yet? Still posted on CL

Mike When you do can you take the blue lens off

excellent, you should find an empty parking lot and idle shift with the clutch to practice that will help with the up and down

were you able to make it home or to the shop?

what are you going to do with the off brand that was going to be the donor?

Looks great, I like it.

need to get some POR or under coat paint on that frame before the winter takes it toll

seemed priced right but if there is frame issues maybe not

Mike I am not going to go waste the fuel or time to look at it for that money and condition, someone else can do that. I will call maybe in a few weeks if I still see it on CL but I am still looking for a truck with a sleeper. Found a 1973 KW with a newer sit down 36" but the rear suspension is all worn out and the sleeper install needs some work, the guy said they changed it from a crawl in to the sit down and the back of the cab needs some work. Not sure if it would take a 48" sleeper, then again I would have to find one

He will probably stick at that price then scrap it for $1500

No Connection I called on it and the owner swears it is a B61. I asked him if he would come down on the price said a little. Does not currently run, widows been down for at least 10 years, said it had a tarp on it and inside is shot. I asked if it did run when parked 15 years ago he said the motor did but the power divider is out. Does not know if the motor is free or what might be missing. I asked again about the price and he said that that's what the go for on ebay. 1964 mack b61 - $7000 (rolla) 1964 collectors. 237 mack engine. 5 &3 triplex tranlong wheel base. Ran when parked ut. Power divider is out on it. contact by phone:☎ 5735784233 Location: rolla do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers

As Paul Harvey said "The rest of the story"???????????????????????????????????????????????

you can take that button out and clean it and the inside where it rides put a little anti-seize should be good, usually corrosion since aluminum or dirt

So what happened to we need to take up a collection for bail?

if you read it that was the reason for the in frame now that that is done he has no oil pressure and it shuts down, I would trouble shoot with looking at the receipts for the parts and verify they were correct, then mechanical oil gage, then pull the oil pan check oil pump by pass then keep working my way until the problem is found. The mechanic/shop that worked on it should be coming good for the work otherwise I wouldn't pay or try and get my money back if you paid by credit card contact them and dispute the charges

looks sharp nice colors

get a lawyer if you can to meet you there or at least call one and get some advice, the company seems more like moral support but are they going to help pay the fine? There are plenty of traffic lawyers always ready to help out for a couple hundred bucks.
