I still have it. I can't promise but I don't see why not.
-
This was a lot of work to make this look correct. To get the y pipe in the right location. I had to slide a crossmember back 3 inches or so to the next set of holes drilled in the frame. Luckily that was fairly straight forward but then I had to fabricate new fuel tank frame mount brackets. To someone not familiar or knowledgeable with Macks it looks like it's factory.
-
That's what I ended up doing. I got a little nervous because there is more cab overhang off the frame to the drivers side than it does the passenger side. The center of the cab at the rear window is dead center in the frame. Are the r cabs wider to one side to accommodate the driver.
-
I am in the process of converting this truck to a dual exhaust. Cab is a solid mount non airside. I measure the vertical stack mounts from the inside frame flange out on both sides. Both are at 26 to center. Tacked the dr side on and have to pass side clamped. The drivers side is 1 inch closer to the cab than the pass side. The cab mount that rests on the bar at the bar is 1 inch closer to the inner edge of the vert bracket than the pass side. The hood and cab line up great. Should I be concerned or just move it 1 inch to match pass side.

That's what they wanted for that tank. Huh
-
I do plan on doing a hundred or so spot welds. I've seen the demonstrations and I'm not quite convinced enough to go ahead spend the cash on the epoxy and special gun when I have a welder on hand. A friend used the 3m epoxy to attach a hood scoop on his pu. Why he didn't use 3m double sided tape is beyond me but anyways the scoop wasn't on long. Not to be mean but I'm glad it didn't hold, the scoop downright wrong.

Are the rear rain gutters still available?
-
I'm getting ready to reskin the roof on my r model. My question is do I need to cross race the cab to keep it from twisting once the roof skin is removed. The doors are off the truck so all that weight is removed. I've done several hot rod chops and have always braced them but there seems to be quite a bit of structural steel around the doors connecting front and rear panels.

Saw a guy with a load like that go around an on ramp a bit to fast and the load shifted so much they had to bring a forklift on another flatbed and restack it right on the ramp. He didn't make it 3 miles from the shipper. Nice work shoring it up.

R model bumper. Looks to be aluminum but painted black. It has some dents and a tear at a bolt hole. 50.00 if you want it. Can bring to macungie also.

I'm looking for 2 tan door armrests for an r model.

Are you ready for some football?

That bus is pretty sweet. Does Jim still own it or did he sell it? -
The truck looks great without the bunk. Nice work on the engine swap.
-
This is off subject but so you know who bought the cruise liner with a v8 in it from the cogen plant in Mcadoo?
-
Finally time to start assembly.

I have used the universal painless wiring harnesses before. They are very well made and for what you get a great price. I would measure the distance from where you plan to mount the fuse panel to the rear of the truck and to the front. Just to be sure the harness will be long enough to reach your rear tailights and turn signals. -
I will be there. What do the pyrometers usually sell for? I have not looked into it yet.
-
Thank you but I have already purchased one.
-
Does anyone have any closeup pictures of a cab mounted luberfiner for an r model or superliner? I am curious to see what the mounts look like and how they clear the cab vent. Any help would be well appreciated.
-
What is the purpose of those spacers on the front hub?
-
Doesn't the value liner have a straight frame, and the r and superliner have a frame that spreads from the tanks forward. Maybe that's why the box is outside the frame.

Radiator Core

Ray and Bobby at Marko will be able to handle whatever you send them. -
I'm looking for some r model parts. A cross member. I think anything back from the spread will work. Also a tan fuse box cover ,a Mack pyrometer, and a 1980's radio.
-
Pbp 33-002 was the one that I bought. The measurements that they had posted matched the one on my truck.
-
I just purchased one from niuparts. It's chromed plastic. We will see the quality or lack there of pretty soon.
