Still good here in Canton, Ohio. Nothing overnight. Might come later? Tom, if you sneak through the area, stop by and I'll buy ya a cup of coffee. I'm off til Jan 2nd.

Very nice! I'd be think'n my heart rate would be slightly "up" LOL!! My normal Dr. is pretty cool guy, he reminds me constantly that I'm in much better shape then most of his patients. I still have to walk him through a DOT physical. Seems I'm the only one he ever does? I'm due for a new card this spring, not looking forward as usual. Will we have to worry about the wallet card anymore since it now has to be tied to your drivers license? Where can I get an official blank wallet card? I'm out of them, and not sure my buddy has anymore either.

Wow...that thing does looks as dry/clean as a C model can get!! Not beat up or rotted out? Very nice survivor.

The Mayan calender..................

Yup, same sheet I have. When it came down to it I just leveled my panhard bar and called it good. Seems I couldn't get both side even, like the frame might have a slight twist in it(came from dump truck). Got two years on it, no problems. I also removed one valve and just run one now. I had/have an issue with an air "leak" noise occasionally. Was told that maybe one of the valves was off enough to fight the other. Removed one rod and plumbed to just one valve. Still have that "air release" noise randomly. Won't do it just sitting still, only when traveling down the road. When I first did the back, the bags would leak off in an hour due to the old valves.. Put new valves on it, and it will sit for months and not go down. I like it!

Freak'n stupid people keep procreating. Remember when a lawn mower didn't have all the safety crap. Stupid people trying to get grass out of a running mower by reaching under the deck while it's running...........DUH!!! Can't back a new tractor up without turning blades off because too many morons ran over their 3 yr old kids> WTF?? Why is your 3 yr old kid playing anywhere NEAR where you are mowing?? No different then gun control. They blame the gun for stupid people. Stupid people are EVERYWHERE!!!

OH OH OH OH OH>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Pick me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "motorboat" is the only word that comes to mind right now.

Welcome to the site! Awesome trucks!!

Take it slow and easy. Won't take much to throw it all outta whack again.

Before you pull it off, you might want to check operations. The line going to the compressor head should have NO air going to it when you start truck(with basically no air pressure yet). The govenor should hold back til you get to 120#, then it should allow air to go to compressor head(unloader). Once it drops down to 90#, it should shut air off again til it builds up. That govenor is an air switch basically. If you remove the line going to compressor, start truck, and get air from that line. The govenor is bad.

My first Shadow(1986) 700, it was like brand new with only 13K miles on it when I got it about 5 yrs ago. Good running lil bike. Loved those 80's Hondas. ' Traded it off for a 2000 model 1100, which I sold off for my 2007 HD.

I have a very short clip of me driving Stan Lemans V8 truck, but can't seem to get it off my phone and to my computer. Argh. Someday.........someday I'll get a chance to take it for a real drive!! Someday........

I remember those universal kits, yup mounted right over door panel, looked like an arm rest of sorts. Been years, I'm thinking that JC Whitney sold them?

Really, what car? Um, don't seem to see it in the picture you posted.......................

Wow, they musta kept it under wraps. Never been to Lynn's, but know the location. Just a few blocks north, Rohr's towing has a B75? tow truck sitting in the back of their shop. Hasn't seen the light of day for many, many years. I purchased my B model from General Towing in Canton.

Very cool truck!

I'm pretty sure I still have my original tank. I had to remove it when I put the air ride on. Free to good home, but the cost of the trip might not be worth it? I can throw it on a skid at work and COD the freight to a terminal near you. We use a variety of companies daily. Has two drain valves in the bottom, plus the connection across the top with check valve. I can get you pics. I think I have the straps too?

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Basically, the governor is just like on a shop compressor, only it just pushes on the "unloader" which holds the valves open so the pump freewheels(instead of shutting it off like a shop compressor). If the spool valve portion gets sticky and won't move, or the O rings get dry and leaks by it won't function properly. Here is a post on my recent rebuild: http://www.bigmacktr...ulatorwore-out/ You need to join up with the NEO chapter of the ATHS. https://sites.google...ochapterofaths/ Bring that bad boy to our show in Ashland next June!!! This years show: https://sites.google...-truck-jamboree Heck, if you need someone to drive it there..............I'm available LOL!

My work deals with Dimension Industries in Columbia station(on Rt. 82). Been up there a couple times myself.

Ask and yee shall receive............ http://youtu.be/RF3MuStIm18

Englishtown holds it yearly. Quakercity did it for a few years, but they didn't advertise it very well. Low truck counts, only lasted a couple years and never again.

I had mine out in the rain yesterday also. Hauled my buddies Bobcat back to his property so he can use it too! I have free dibs, but that usually includes fixing what's broke so it's ready for him the next time he needs it LOL!! Sorry no pics, and no other Macks were seen.

Yup. That threaded part, with the o-ring screws into the block. But I see you already have this fixed and truck running. Thought I would reply just in case someone searches this.

Sonny Trapp, from over Jersey way handed me my hat. That barndoor runs mid 15's all day. It's awesome to watch. He puts it on the gov'nr and let's it fly. I have some video, but need to get it tranferred to computer. BTW, the ol dog only goes about 26's at 49 mph LOL!! He runs 15's at 80 mph!

This is truck racing............back about 2004??
