    Tom, This is sad to hear. But it fits with "New Breed" of trucker who do NOT know that to sit down at a relaxing meal makes them safer on the highway as well as keeping their blood pressure down. Most all of the family style restaurants, that had truck parking, that I used to frequent have gone entirely or are no longer 24/7.. Pilot was one of the worst for remodeling the restaurants they bought with a D-8!!

    GW, May Rory RIP.. My thoughts are with you as I can still remember some of the dogs I have had over the years.

    The truck definitely looks like they could have fitted a 12V71 instead of the 8V71??

    The LTH looks great just as it is!!!!!! Presently it is in its historically relevant retired horse van operating colors. I would not paint it or change anything unless I found its true colors from Alaska???

    Here is a picture, from 2013, of one of the long doubles Far North mentioned above. The second picture is of a truck trailer combo I played hopscotch with on the approximately 250 miles from Tok AK to Dawson YK, 120 miles of which was dirt road.

    Found it!!! That article was well written. I hope you can get a couple of extra copies?? Dawson will have to preserve one so he can show it off when he is your age.. Attending that exhibition and meeting the Mack CEO will be a highlight of both your lives, to remembered for all time. Dawson will be the top kid at his school's Show and Tell!!!

    At a first glance he has a John Wayne look ?? And probably just as tough!!!
  12. Brocky
    WOW!!!! This story keeps getting better an better!!!

    We will need more numbers and information to answer your question. With better info you will get some answers here and if not call Barry at Watts Mack, the sponsor of this site, and he should know.

    I will let you tell about its horse van escapades..

    Welcome to BMT.. Yes we have several Canadian members as well as Ireland, Australia, Russia, and other parts of the world!!! Please post some pictures and complete model number and ask any question you want. There is NO such thing as a dumb question!! There is a lot of expertise on this site..

    That would be a simple on/off switch with a wire from it to the push button. NAPA might(???) still carry something?? Try calling Watts Mack, the sponsor of this website, Barry would know how to get one if he does not have one in stock.. For your described usage a simple toggle switch would work!!

    The only other air over cable parking brake I have seen is on the Early 60's Diamond T that a friend of Jeff Lakaszcyck from Connecticut built and was at the 2012 Springfield Mass show, and also at Macungie in 2013. What is the original Transmission set up??, that they needed another 3 speed auxiliary???
  18. Brocky
    What is the third stick for????
  19. Brocky
    Does it still have the cable operated spring lock brakes??????
  20. Brocky
    May have been for a pole out front, BUT I bet it could be attached to a barn wall??
  21. Brocky
    OK!! I will bite!!!!!!!

    There is one for sale in the latest issue of ATHS Wheels of Time:: Lighted dealer pole sign $2500, Colleen, 402-650-8529 (NE) cmckay21@hotmail.com

    I meant to ask you Saturday, that trailer brake handle / valve set up is different than any I have ever seen.. Does it have any connection to its life in Alaska???

    Bob, Were you folks on one of the Cruises???? They have to stay out in the ocean more than the ferry. Also their port time is NOT always long enough to see the museums.. I recommend a boat or fly one way and rent a small motor home the other way. We did the motel bit and sometimes they are 100 miles apart!! All of Alaska's major highway have multiple pull offs to spend the night in an RV.

    See if you can find the serial number.. A plate on the right door and also somewhere on the frame, usually near the steering axle spring hangers. Search some of the other topics for a better description of the location. Then send it to the Mack Museum, with a donation, and they will send you all the info when it was built.
