  1. BTW, if you do find one, be very careful installing it on the correct head. There's one for the front head and one for the rear head. Mixing them up can do serious valve train damage.
  2. Reawakening a dead 17 year old post for this? Why not just start a new thread or one over in the engine section? There's plenty of places to ask that question and get good responses. Try Facebook. There's numerous active Mack threads there that you could network through with bigger audiences. Someone will have what you need? I'm not sure they are currently being manufactured for two valve engines. I bought a new one back in 2005 that was a knockoff brand that I put on a 673. It's now on my 237. They're out there just keep asking.
  3. As other have said, Restoration Specialties, is one of my go to’s. Steele Rubber Products carries some B model parts. They are a little pricey, though. There are a lot of parts that can be gotten from other venders if you know what you’re looking for. I rebuilt the window regulators on my B73 using some Model A parts. They were a direct replacement for the window regulator shaft and spur gear. The original pot metal shafts broke. Replacements were steel and riveted right in. Some times you have to get creative in located parts and locating them through other sources and making some modifications.
  4. Congratulations, we’ll deserved!!!
  5. It's been a great year, with lots of miles on our trucks!!! Looking forward to even more next year!!
  6. I added the picture that wouldn't upload last night to my last post.
  7. Busy, busy with the B73 this weekend!! Spent Saturday morning cleaning it up from Lititz for an event Sunday. Then Saturday evening my wife and I were in our Tahoe enroute to a family event, when a brake issue left us stranded. Rescued it with the B73. Then out all day Sunday at the “Back the Blue” motorcycle ride and car show, hauling vehicles for the State Police Museum. Another great event and weekend with the truck!!
  8. Welcome aboard!! Really great find and pretty rare, too. I love the B70 series, either B or L cab. Not too many 77’s around. Keep us up to date with what you do with it? Matt
  9. A GMC V12 cabover survivor that actually runs and drives. I heard it only has 12,000 original miles. Jim Rymes out of Florida, formerly of New Hampshire, just bought it on his way to Gerhart's in Massachusetts.
  10. A large amount of Superliners showed up. There must have been at least four dozen there.
  11. Factory sleeper B61. This one was really well restored, great paint in and out and a lot of attention to detail poured into it.
  12. This guy built a replica of his full size cabover. I thought it was remote controlled. Nope, tilt the cab up and slide into it. Amazing detail he put into it!
  13. So many things to see there. Amazing trucks from all over.
  14. I actually landed there, between your trucks and the power lines, during the Anthrax investigations several times with the State Police helicopter. Brought in FBI agents and State Police bomb techs and investigators. A woman from Oxford died from her mail that was cross contaminated from that postal facility. I think that was right around October, 2001. Five people over all died in the region due to that.
