  1. I talked to a guy about radiant heat who said he had worked in a shop that had it. He said if you are working where the radiant heat does not hit you, you are cold. If you are where it does hit you, it is too hot.
  2. Have they done an autopsy on it Mike? What was the cause? Does Mack still do the rebuilding? Companies farm out almost everything these days, and I think it is common to have another company do the rebuilding.
  3. That pipe just looks good on there. Stacks to the moon would not look better.
  4. Nice image of Chief Oshkosh on the truck. Oshkosh never sold many highway trucks in the U.S. either. They were very rare.
  5. They did make some van prototypes of it and that was before the Big 3 came out with their vans that were so popular in the sixties. It was a good looking van and it is interesting to think of what might have happened if they would have produced it. Later they did make a few of them for the military.
  6. Some checks are needed. Volts, amps. That will tell you where the problem is. Don't replace the starter until you know what it is. It could be something like a bad ground connection. What happens to the lights when you crank it? Dims a little or a lot?
  7. A recent thread: http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44363-925-hp-v-8/
  8. Go to BMT Wiki in the tool bar at top, then Antique and Classic Mack Info.
  9. 3010 or 3020 gas, row crop with standard fenders ?
  10. I think that is a writ of habeus corpoose -
  11. That was after he told her he was leaving to cook pork.
  12. So from what I can gather, an RD would have been like the earlier X models. If there was an R like a B-61, an RD would have been like a B-61X model. The main feature was a heavier frame, but usually spec'd with other heavy components.
  13. Would one of that vintage have had the parking lights next to the headlights?
  14. 2600 hours is not a lot of time to build something like that.
  15. . "a new 10-speed automatic transmission co-developed by Ford and General Motors." That was quite surprising news to me, but I did some looking and found GM and Ford have already developed two other transmissions together in recent years.. I would think Henry Ford and William Crapo Durant are rolling over in their graves.
  16. It is all there. There are pages before the opening page - to the left.
  17. An attention getter:
  18. Wrecker looks like a Dodge D model.
  19. I think it was Sterling. They made an early COE with a mostly flat front and the floor over the wheels. And that was the first COE of the modern class 8 style I believe. I do not know if that one tilted though.
  20. If you like the Harley, keep it - and take the money and buy a Mack
