When it comes to Pizza Hut I'd rather eat the box it came in than the pizza. Sorry to hear of your unfortunate dinner event.

Always wanted to go to the Big Texan. My kid went for a roadtrip from Boston to Phoenix with his friend and texted me a photo of his steak at the Big Texan. Rotten kid.........

Putting it away looks like folding a map.

Didn't get a chance to look too close underneath them as my wife was waiting in the car. Yeah I was happy that they didn't do anything irreversible to the EF

Yup, business trip to Vegas for the sign trade show to see my customers. Work work work. Plus the marathon is the most boring thing I can think of.

Way Out Wayroc C Model Mack
66dc75 replied to j hancock's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Used to see a lot more of them 15 -20 years ago. When I first met Merk (R model Mack pickup truck that's at Macungie every year ) he had 3 of them lined up out back in Shrewsbury Ma. They are long gone now. I don't think the Wayroc truck got driven much they said it was like having concrete tires it rode so hard -
Way Out Wayroc C Model Mack

I think that Barrington show was about the only onehe ever took it to. Walter Balchunas, an old truck mechanic friend of mine next door to my old shop did the mechanical work on that when it was being restored. -
Way Out Wayroc C Model Mack
66dc75 replied to j hancock's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Wow I didn't realize Wayne sold that truck. It was parked in a garage 3 miles down the street from my house. It was the only C model I've ever sat in, didn't get to drive it though. -
My dad was the milkman fir a couple of years in the mid sixties. He went back to building houses and from the Divco to an Autocar dump. I used to drive by the Divco dealer (Whittemore Truck Sales Brockton Ma) twice a day going to and from work in the early eighties. They still had a bunch of used ones there for sale and ones being repaired. Went to our son and daughter in law''s house Saturday and noticed they had a milk box by the garage door, home milk delivery alive still.

My first car was a 65 impala 230 straight six with a powerglide slow as hell but I loved that car. Wish it had that hood ornament. Had an 04 Impala too, real good car keep an eye on the coolant level they almost always need intake gaskets by 100k.

Who does this?

Doctors could use that photo to induce vomiting -
Actually both, cut all the rust out but didn't want to do 5-6 little patches so put some rust reformer stuff on and welded an overlay on. Hard to tell from the photos but that door has a pretty thick skim coat of bondo on it from a previous paint job, overlaying brought the metal closer to the same level as the rest of the door. I was planning on being there yesterday but the others guys couldn't go and I haven't got much done lately, hoping to get the fenders on this week.

Got a few more small things done, interior lights, front shocks, patched the passenger door and made and installed kickpanels with speakers. I need to get under the dash and finish tying the wiring harness up. I got some gas struts off amazon for the hood. I held the randomly ordered mounting bracket up to the Mack bracket that was on the hood and THE HOLES MATCHED UP PERFECTLY! The pistons worked out great, they don't push the hood up when it's closed and holds it up just right. Found some time to relocate the toolboxes on the new crane truck from on top to under the body.

Buy that thing and that 63' fifth wheel camper and hook it all together

Fired up the vinyl plotter yesterday and put some lettering on it. One of these days I'm going to learn how to hand letter and stripe.

Need help identifying Cummins engine
66dc75 replied to Tony Ingram's topic in Engine and Transmission
NH 250 was non turbo and did not have external injector lines, just a line to the front head and a return from the rear. -
Could have had an NH220 too in those trucks the engine was laid over to the right.

Why I like staying at the Holiday Inn Express...
66dc75 replied to RowdyRebel's topic in Odds and Ends
When I started in the sign business we used to do a lot of traveling to do installs. The boss would give us his American Express card to stay wherever and eat whatever we wanted. He said we were away from home making him money so we should at least eat good. Steak, lobster king crab, scrapple, we were spoiled. Now I 'm happy if there is a waffle maker in the breakfast room. -

I've using Hagerty, 3 trucks under $500 a year and they let me pull my trailer as long as I'm only hauling my stuff. They sent me this email today, looks like they are embracing old trucks. https://contentsharing.net/actions/email_web_version.cfm?recipient_id=2743836350&message_id=13987629&user_id=HAGERTY&group_id=4054938&jobid=36542083

Cool old R model
66dc75 replied to sodly's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
That truck is a couple of towns over from me. I looked at it a few months ago. Walorz trucking used to be an authorized Mack service center. The B model which is advertised with this truck was restored by them i believe for a customer who didn't pick it up and it became their's so it was relettered. It seems that the family hired a 3rd party to sell the trucks. The asking prices are pretty high and they have been for sale for well over a year now. That R model has been outside the whole time but it is as solid as it looks in the photos. Being a Mack parts and service dealer they probably had a new steering wheel hanging around, just me guessing and I have been known to be wrong. -
yup just getting broken in
