Hey.............so I'm at Thompson Saturday for a stick race and while I'm at my trailer waiting for another round this fellow comes up to me and says....."I know someone on a mack website that knows you. He lives in Florida". I kinda get that deer in the headlights looks and then I start to ponder. Hmmm, Hat? Nah............then he says "the guys name is Bill". Hey, that's BILLYT!! Yup. Seems your buddy "Bob" wanted to tell me that whatever long legged story you try to make up about him.........is likely TRUE! Hope you're weathering the storm okay!

Movie? Super Sucker? The Meanwhile Bar. With all those axles it must be Michigan.

Fuel pressure? Just a coincidence filter got plugged up?

My old house isn't horrible, but it had a bad sag in the middle going into the living room area. You would walk and feel it dip down. Now, it has a 3/4 basement with a crawl space so there is sorta a foundation wall supporting that crawl space right under that dip area. I was able to get a big bottle jack on the block and jack the floor til it felt straight. A few accurately cut 4x4's made nice supports and 13 yrs later the floor is still level. I just had vinyl siding done a few weeks ago and the guy was telling me how bowed the walls were, you could see the roof ridge difference. Once he sided it and closed in the ridge areas it looks nice and straight. You couldn't really tell before, but he did a nice job of keeping it looking straight when done. Same with roof when he did it a few years back. It dips and moves around. You can't tell, he was able to run the shingles and hide it very well.

String? String? WE don't need no stink'n string.............

Holey Shnikeys............... That's looking AWESOME!

Wow....Fantastic!!!!!

Bobtailing that old motor will do just fine, as long as it's not gear bound in the back? Mine with 4.62 gears would run 65 mph all day on the governor. Ya, slow down on the hills with my trailer, but always got me there. Yes, my 237 makes it much better around here on the hills.

I sometimes imagined a convertible cab for my truck. Going to the races with the top open? Sounds like fun.........til it rains LOL!!

Bob was actually third, but he knocked 2nd place in a ditch along the way. They still haven't found them...............

Depends if it is commercial or not. If it is a antique, you can get it registered as historical and fly under the radar. If it is commercial..............good luck............

If that would have been just a couple inches lower............he might have made it through...............before running into the bridge instead. Someone just posted about a dumptruck hitting a bridge in Marysville, Ohio recently. I know the old story was a dump truck driver has either laid one over is going to. Guess that also applies to hitting bridges?

Man, I get busy for a couple days and come back to a post like this? Wow...good things do come to those who wait! Thanks Barry.

Rust free V8 R model? Should be gone quick. Neat piece.

Honorable mention too......

Heck no. You can see the flat spots in that picture, from the front radius all the way back to the collectors. They are level with the oil pan now so I don't think it will get any worse... I've got the clutch/wheelie bars set pretty well and it keeps the up/down movement smooth and doesn't allow it to drop so hard.

Ooops, sorry, not a Mack.

Close as I'll get to pulling: I took it as far with my n/a 673 as friends 350 Small cam KW. It was just a fun run kinda thing...but I could really enjoy doing it more! I could just imagine if I had my 237 in there back then.

"Yes, sir. Got a whole load of sailboat fuel for the shipment of new boats coming next week." Here's your sign.............

Run into the ground by fleets and likely scrapped a long time ago.

From what I know wheel speed is EVERYTHING. Get the motor at max rpm, wheels spinning and go. Yes, the front end up so all the force is on the rear tires, but you want it spinning to get ground speed which will take you the farthest.

I know Tom runs a K100 with a KT600 and is very competitive with it from the videos on Youtube. Mack Tech brings a good point about being on top of the engine..........
