    I never thought of that...sounds like a great idea!

    If it was doable, a V12 Superliner would be a very cool truck.

    That's a Clariben hood...aftermarket replacement.

    Good tip! Theirs have the correct star washer, and they're cheaper too.

    Which triplex is that? I bought the black tandem here in Columbus back in 1995, but it's too rusty to save. This green one came from Ed Pruss in Longmont CO; I bought it 10 years ago. I'll get the bodywork and paint done and put it on the tandem chassis.

    I pulled my donor cab off today, this makes the second H cab I've pulled in the last year. I'm bolting casters to the underside so I can roll it around the shop.

    Nice R, and nice White 3000!

    Yes, and they're #4 pozidriv which is not an easy bit to find! I was able to get some from KC Tool.

    The only ones they had in fine thread were slotted. I also found a lot of allen heads, those two are worthless. I've had the best luck with phillips or torx when dealing with flat head bolts.

    My door hinge bolts were rusty and crusty, so I checked with Watts--not available any more. They are 5/16" NF phillips flat head, 3/4" long...I hunted all over the interwebs and could not find any fine thread. Lo and behold, after some phenagling I found out that '50s and '60s MG cars used the same bolts; I found some websites that sell MG parts and bought a set. They work perfect!

    Yeah, Gilley's was smokin' hot also! (The place burned down and there was some question about insure-and-burn).

    In the early 70's my dad was hauling paper rolls in 40' containers out of the St. Regis paper mill in Jacksonville FL with a '69 F model (day cab tandem, 237 and maxitorque). He took a curve too fast and the trailer went over; the container came loose on the front and twisted the container chassis almost 90 degrees. The 5th wheel stayed latched and the tractor didn't have a scratch on it. That chassis sure looked funny after they towed it back to the yard, the tandems were sitting flat on the ground and the landing gear was almost sideways.

    I know what you mean about cup issues...but I think they've been solved.

    Welcome! If you hang around very long you probably will end up buying an old Mack.

    The detail on some of those trucks is amazing...I always enjoy seeing these vehicles.

    Frame is finally painted.
    The truck is looking great so far! Nothing like getting all the rust and crud cleaned off and a new coat of paint.

    That's what I don't miss...fuel jelling up in the primary filter, having to heat up the air dryer exhaust so it would stop leaking, pulling the main line off the compressor and pouring alcohol in it to melt the ice in the system. The worst was bringing a truck into the shop and laying underneath while it thawed...ice cold water with salt mixed in dripping on me.

    I'm stripping down my donor cab, getting ready to pull it and send it to the body shop. I removed the dog today, seems kind of symbolic to remove the dog from an old Mack truck. I'm looking forward to the day when I can put it back on.

    I like the stacks! Good-looking truck.

    Always saw photos of this truck, had no idea it was Cat powered. Is this the only 1693 powered H in the world?
  22. h67st
    Dam nice photo! (sorry, couldn't resist.)
  23. h67st
    I'm sorry to hear that your brother got hurt. Some photos of the R model would generate some interest in it.

    Very nice album!

    Those of us in central Ohio have no knowledge of snow like you NH guys do. Nice plow setup!
