  1. I'm sure glad you saved that C model, too many trucks rust away sitting in the weeds.
  2. On mine it's stamped into the frame rail, on the RHS near the front axle rear spring hanger.
  3. You're right, aren't the windshields shorter on the L model?
  4. Did you buy new glass? I'll be buying new for mine soon if anyone has recommendations.
  5. Nice looking rig! I'll bet some heads turned as you drove that route.
  6. I went to the show Saturday in Ashland Ohio, not nearly as big as Macungie but still a lot of Macks and other trucks there. The weather was nice and cool, but pretty windy. Probably the finest R model I've ever seen: One of the famous tri-drive B models: This one has a Cat in it: Some guy named Fetterly:
  7. Those twin steer units are some big dudes!
  8. Yes, that's the breakover spring.
  9. fjh is right on that one, check that breakover spring first. If that's not the problem you can check his idea about the governor by dropping the front or back of the truck in a low spot so the truck isn't level. If the idle smooths out then the governor is the problem.
  10. I've seen them on ebay, just search for Mack battery box cover. Also PAI sells them.
  11. If that's the same truck, they switched the fronts to budd wheels. Everything else looks the same.
  12. In the last picture it looks like the fenders had some rust in them, looks like you got them straightened up nice!
  13. Looks great! I see the V8 emblems on it.
  14. In his obituary, it says Mike was in a commercial. If you watch for the Superliner on the racetrack, that's Mike.
  15. The headlight trim panels were hosed, and of course nice ones can't be found. I searched for similar textured metal, but that's not available either. I found onlinemetals.com (Thyssenkrup) had some decent looking textured aluminum so I bought that. A buddy of mine runs a fab shop and he cut them out for me. Turned out nice!
  16. I have an old Overdrive Magazine with an article about Brockway, it shows them building the trucks by hand on the assembly line. Definitely a tough old truck.
  17. I'm very sorry to hear that, he was definitely one of the "elder statesmen" of BMT.
  18. If those trucks were here in Ohio, they'd be rusty rust.
  19. Cool old truck...$6,500. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2476194762511896/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ae6020877-9fe8-4d53-8e17-7effb451c20d
  20. In Greeneville TN, says the truck runs. $2,000. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/449453736868588/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ae6020877-9fe8-4d53-8e17-7effb451c20d
  21. I found a use for my old masks. The only thing is, I've got to remember to remove it before I start the truck or else I'll have to get the truck vaccinated.
  22. The H model got $25,000, and the '62 B61 got $19,000.
  23. The truck is in Germantown Ohio, $15,000. Says it's a one owner truck with 211,000 miles on it. No specs on the engine but it looks like a shiny 290 with a Jake brake. https://dayton.craigslist.org/hvo/d/germantown-international-4370-semi-truck/7486771505.html
  24. Did any American trucks have Rolls-Royce engines as an option? I've never heard of one.
