Send an email to Doug Maney, the curator of the Mack Museum.. He may have a contact to help you.. PM me if you need an email address different from the museum's website..

I have seen one of the Farmall M's converted to a grader at Stew Paquette's museum in Leesburg FL where he used to host the ATCA Vintage Trucks of Florida winter show.

Since you are in ILL Check with the people at the Iowa 80 truck museum in Walcott Iowa. Another thought is Sid Kamp trucking, they are in ILL, I think the Joliet area?? And are big Mack restorers. Take a bunch of pictures to attach to an email you might send them.. Each of these places may be able to give you a price and/or a potential customer????

I am thinking Colonial might have had some twin steers???? They had some big a$$ed F-800's also.

Do not know about phones, But on you desk top go to your picture section, create a new folder and name it. The right click on the picture here and in the drop down menu chose "save image as" and send it to the new folder.. You may have to play with it to make it work!!

Is this gas or diesel???? IF gas be sure to use ethanol FREE gas!! Laced with Sta-Bil... With regular gas the ethanol will separate, eat up rubber hoses, fuel pump & carbs rubber components, turn to brown sludge, and draw moisture.. If diesel add some algae killer just to be on the safe side. You could transition to the Antique and Classic section. Not sure about North Carolina, but most states consider 25 years old to be eligible for Antique / Historical plates and insurance. If you are an ATHS member, Haggerty offers a discount.. What do you plan to do with it as these plates and insurance have some restrictions.

As long as your sit down breaks are NOT in front of the TV or on the computer they are allowed!!!!

Thanks, looks like a great show, But a tad far for me!!!

Joey I think(??) you just got suckered into giving some Chinese manufacturer the information they need to build more JUNK for us!!!!!

That must have been at the Carolina Piedmont chapter show?? One I missed..

BUT there must have been an autopsy on the bystander????

The H-81 was a monster!! Think Colonial Redi Mix and Edgar Browning in NYC.. I think (??) I have seen pictures of them???

James, Was the tipped engine you remember seeing a Mack or Cummins???? I have never see a tipped Mack, But I have see a lot of that configuration in Cummins.

I was in Bear Creek AL delivering a load of scarp copper. The fourth plane was still in the air and everybody was worried about it heading for the nuclear power generating plants on the Tennessee river near Florence AL.

Back in the 70's the man I worked for had a 2 gear dohicky that we hung on the wheel to increase the torque by hand. I have also used the cheater pipe and jumped up and down on it!!!
