    Got stopped by the police one time, he couldn't believe a truck could have 2 shift levers.

    Getting ready for winter again…yuck! I painted the frame with Chassis saver (thanks big dog) the rest is still in pretty good shape. Now its ready for salt again

    What a cool truck!!! See that frame… wow ! I don't think it would be too hard to get that beauty looking like the day it rolled out of the Oakville assembly plant. Lets see, 4000 Km from my place. Never happen. I hope someone that appreciates it, ends up with it. Keith

    Sorry J_martell, I don't know the answer to your question. I am thinking they are lighter, but don't know for sure. Maybe someone else on here may have some insight. Good question though. Keith
  10. 85snowdog
    Yes , a hook lift. He has a different bins and the flat bed for it. I agree though, rusty flatbed stands out.

    A good friend of mine just got his new Granite. It is the first Mack he has ever owned. I hope it works well for him. I might have specs wrong, but I am pretty sure - 345 cummins with 6 speed auto, 14,6 front 23 rear, air ride. I got to take it for a spin. O wow, what a nice truck. I'm think'n it would be easy to spend a day in it, as long as your not sitting at the Mack dealer waiting for repairs. Very nice truck!!

    Looks like we have more than chassis saver in common. I had a 70 chev too. A CST (custom sport truck) It came from North Carolina. I did a frame up restoration. I loved that truck. Sold it at Carlisle so I could by a 1979 Brigadire. Wasn't one of my smartest moves. I am going to get some boiled linseed oil, and be careful what I do with the rags. Thanks Keith

    I'm not familiar with treating metal with linseed oil bigdog. But I am thinking it would be a good rust preventative for the cab. Everything else on the trucks gets crown rustproofing. Would I just wipe it on, then wipe off excess? When I wash the truck would I be washing the linseed off? I also wanted to thank you, You mentioned chassis saver to me. I replied I had to find out what the Canadian equivalent would be. Turns out I can buy your chassis saver here. I recently painted the frame of my snowplow with it. I agree with you, good stuff. Keith

    You have come to the right place. A lot of knowledgeable Mack people here. Keith

    I would think the barn demo job would be very dusty . Could it be possible the air cleaner has got plugged up?? I wouldn't think so, but an easy thing to check.
  16. 85snowdog
    Is it possible they changed engines because they are in the oil recovery business Very nice rig ,either way

    This is a 1988 restored superliner for sale. For some reason I can't post it in the for sale forum. Here is the link, it is worth looking at. VERY SHARP !! http://wwwa.autotrader.ca/a/Mack/Superliner/BANCROFT/Ontario/19_8229197_/?ms=heavy_trucks&orup=13_15_95

    Looks great! Thanks for the pics Vlad.

    Don't be afraid to show off your truck. We love em all. From ones with trees growing out of the hood to shined up show trucks. Keith
  20. 85snowdog
    Glad to hear you got your problem solved. I am also happy your son is getting his hands dirty working on your R. On a different note, I noticed your air cleaner has been redone, I am sure it met the same fate as a lot of Canadian R model air cleaners, Rotted out behind the lower strap. Is the air cleaner new, or did you rebuild it? And the air cleaner bracket, is it chrome plated ? Keith

    Welcome aboard ! To help a newcomer out , a pic of your B (I hope) and the link to your thread on the other site. Hope I got it right. Very nice B, and very cool story. Keith . http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1655065_.html

    Thanks for trying to keep the R700 on this side of the Atlantic Ocean

    Something else to check Vlad, I have had the plunger at the top of the treadle valve hang up a bit. If you take the pedal off, take the plunger out and clean & lubricate it. I have had that trouble myself in the snowplow, now its part of my regular maintenance . Just a thought.
