Ah so...............KInda wondered about that when I saw it. Wasn't thinking about a tilting cab. Also looks like a real bieotch to climb over getting in/out of the bunk! What I don't see is the TPV or the parking brakes.
-
Wow....that's one clean F model! Surely make someone a very nice truck. I see it still only has a hand brake in it. Wonder what the reserve is?

Industrial auction - injection molding machines
Freightrain replied to Olivetroad's topic in Odds and Ends
Well, you hit the muther load there. I've been in the screw/barrel repair business for 25 yrs(same place). I'm very familiar with most of that equipment in some way or other. -
Ohhhhh, had another chance to go cruise today. Just over 40, no wind..................so I hopped on and put 10 miles on it after work. I pulled the muffler inserts out to see how loud it got. Not bad at all, nice deep rumble with those stock muffler casings. Likely leave it this way now?
-
Naw, not me. This one is still pretty stock, modified stock pipes just give it a nice rumble. Over time Ill likely tinker with it. 96 inch/6 spd. It is driving me nuts just looking at in the garage. Weather is very mild and if it stays dry and over 40 Ill get it out again
-
I'm just guessing, but since it's a California transfer, I'm guessing it doesn't see the "off road" that a typical East coast dump sees. Maybe not? Just thinking out loud.
-
I FINALLY got to take my new toy for a spin today. Got dark too quick to take a nice picture with it outside.
-
Hot Damn I thought that parking lot looked awfully familiar LOL! I stop for fuel there when I go that way. That black/red Freightliner? Or whatever it is sits there all the time and was my clue that is where you were sitting. I'll send ya my number so if you run into trouble give a jingle.

Long live the WIG WAG!!!! LOL!! No annoying buzzing required!
-
Geez, there ya are stuck in Canton...............and did ya call ol 'train?? Nope, nadda............. I'm ashamed....................LOL!! Only time I was at KW of Canton was for a truck show a few years back. I see Reed's brought their big boy to haul you away. Trying to fig'r where you were stuck, but not looking familar. Almost looks like the Duke down at rt 36 and 77?
-
Wow...that really suxs. Sorry to hear about it. My gut hurts thinking about something like this happening to anything I own.
-
Oh, I see. There's a bounty on my aquired possesions............................."me", not so much. Didn't see that coming..................LMAO!!!
-
Thanks guys. Time will tell. I'll take the cake anyway.
-
Come on guys. Time to belly up and do a good deed for the day. I have to work on collecting my "bail"........................... http://www2.mda.org/...031&pg=personal Even a dollar makes a difference. Thanks

Custom Tilt Nose B61 on Epay
Freightrain replied to jaysm35a2's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Not bad, they welded the stock front end together and made it tilt. Much better looking then a Clariben! They list it as a 235HP motor. Not! Don't care for the tiny air cleaner either. I can't say it should last very long before it gets plugged up. Doesn't not look like it would have enough surface area. -
Cold Start
Freightrain replied to leversole's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Ive fired mine in near single digits just to see if it would. No block heater, no ether, just batteries and some cranking speed. I was surprised when it lit off! Those four group 31 batteries roll that lil 673 over effortlessly. Kinda hard on things but I wanted to know if it would come the need to. I kept it just off idle til it would stay running on its own. 50yrs old and still going strong. BTW the block heater isnt too hard to replace. I had to remove mine to allow for spin on filter set up. I could have reinstalled it farther back in the block but didnt feel the need to have it anymore. -
Wow.............find me a nice ENDT673C and I'll set ya up with a smooth running P motor LOL!!!
-
Hope you find the lil pricks AND get the chance to teach them a lesson in reponsibility.

I am another that rarely talks while driving(unless I have to). If I know I'm going on a road trip I grab my ear bud and stick it in my pocket. That way when I get on my way and need to call I just stick it in my ear and chat away. It's funny to see people with them in their ear 24/7. I use it, then take it out as it does get uncomfortable after a while.
-
Ya, no sense in having the chance of screwing this one up Wayyyy to nice for that. Ill grin and bear it til the roads are cleaned up, no fine gravel!
-
What suxs is it's been really nice up to this past Thurs. We haven't had much of any snow yet this year. Of course they called for a good dump on Friday/Sat and it actually did! Of course they say mid 40's by Tuesday, so it's not long lasting. Don't want to ride in the salt/crap, but likely will take it around the neighborhood at some point. Most I can do is sit on it and rev'r up LMAO!!!
-
Bit the bullet and got what I really wanted. Been looking for a few years and this came into my life and I had to get it. Super clean, low miles, near unmolested and ready to ride. 2007 Softail Custom, 96ci/6 spd. Black and chrome! I trailered it home today(uh, it snowed yesterday), so now I have to sit and look at it for 3 months LOL!!! (woe is me). The picture does it no justice. First saw it Monday evening and knew I was going to do whatever it took to own it. Just had to share.

As you get older, it is funny to watch the very "non caring" world of a baby. Eat, sleep, play, repeat.
-
Right off the treadle pedal would be my best guess, at least that would be close to hook up anyway.

Is the cable in good shape? Not real sure, but maybe a good ground from the antenna to chassis might help. You would think that the shield in the cable would ground it back to the radio and would work fine? What brand antenna? could be faulty? Tried a SWR meter on it?
