I am looking for an instrument panel, speedometer and tach, and two of the visor sunshades that go between that instrument panel and the dash for two steel dash Mack’s I am working on

Who are they? I have been checking this regularly but have been really busy with work so I guess I missed the posts, can you point me in there direction

The sticking rack only started after the rebuilt lift pump was installed

I am resurrecting this thread because I have a similar problem on a E6 350. it became hard starting and would lose prime ant the filters were partially empty. I replaced all suction and return lines from the injection pump to the tank and had the lift pump rebuilt. The problem persists and now the shutdown rack sticks and will not go back in without cranking the engine and it still loses prime. Could the rebuilt lift pump be pushing too much side pressure on the cam causing the rack to jamb? So this thread has me thinking about adding an electric pump to prime the truck and or replace the lift pump. Can I remove the lift pump and block off the hole and replace it with an electric pump or should I put the electric pump before the lift pump. next what electric pump to use?

The 6 lug 15” trailer wheel

I need the drivers door about the rim can I have a friend that lives in Reno pick it up?

That would be great What does the wheel need to be fixed i am interested in the door did you ever find the instrument panel and visor?

Today was fun we found the second injector on both sides were stuck. The drivers side one was easy to free up, the passenger side one required the removal of the rocker bolts to gain access. Then we discovered the truck was actually positive ground. then the starter solenoid was not behaving We did get the truck to run but there is no fuel coming back from the lift pump. now we need to change the filters and work on priming this thing

Ok do you get down to so cal often?

This is one the trailers the this Mack used to pull. It is now in storage at a friends house. This is also the first time the little ford has pulled a trailer since changing the rear from 4.88 to 3.90 and it did fine now I am looking for some 6 lug 15” wheels

Is the rubber around the vent widow available? if it is what is the source and part number

The black powder was on the dirty side of the air cleaner. The place that this truck came from supplied the foundary industry and that back dust is all over the site. the clean side of the air filter element looked new. The pipe was also clean inside

I have been working on this truck slowly due to other commitments. yesterday it got new batteries today I took apart the air filter and air intake and did not find any surprises. I dumped out lots of fine black powder from the air cleaner element which supports it being used in the yard since 1993. In the Farr air cleaner do you clean the outer screen? I also checked the emergency stop and it works fine and now I see how to reset it, pictures are a little dark but in one it is open and in the other it is closed I also got to use my long 1/2 inch snapon flex ratchet to bar the motor over two turns

The issue with changing the gears is not the rear axles, it’s the front axle. In order to remove the differential you have to disassemble the entire axle and the current ratio is the fastest ratio that that carrier can use. So I would need a complete center assembly and I could only go from 4.92 to 4.25. if I really decide to do it the current best solution is to replace the Allison with a 13 speed

Thanks the green truck gets a lot of attention everyplace we go. At the UTI show the teachers were more interested than the students probably because they saw how much work went into getting the truck to this point and I still have a lot to do. right now the truck cruises at 58mph at 2500 rpm. I would like to drop the rpm and increase the cruise speed but with only 210 hp 7.8 ford I don’t have the power I want. Every option I have come up with costs a lot of money and quite frankly I get there, just slowly. So I may just insulate the cab better and turn up the fuel a little and call it good the wife wants stairs, more water capacity. I want to delete the spare tire, or modify the mount to carry a BBQ and close the gap between the bottom of the camper and the bed

Not yet working on getting the parts to replace the passenger side glass i charged a spare set of batteries for it and will soon try to start it washed it on Tuesday, as well as two other trucks. I took the green truck to a car show at Universal Technical Institute today and this red truck showed up making lots of smoke here in Southern California 75 miles in LA traffic is so much fun but the green truck has an Allison so it was bearable

This is the reply that I got from the Mack museum about this truck @The number you provided is a Glider Kit. We have no information on this unit. The Mack Trucks Historical Museum has very little information on Glider Kits.” it is not helpful I would have expected they could have told me what was in the glider and who it was delivered to

I gave that truck a bath today

Are you offering to sell it?

I can’t locate the turbo i also can’t find the spark plugs to oil the cylinders

Same here, fine this morning and now at lunch I have to deal with this. I think I need to start drinking early because of this

Another grumpy old man here and I am only in my mid 50’s

Deflate the bumper and send her to the chiropractor to fix the curved spine and poor posture

I think I will start by getting the glass replaced and then finish cleaning the rat crap from the blue Mack and then pressure wash both of them

How do you make the hand primer? what is the best way to bar one of these over
