I'm like'n that Autocar with the scream'n demon. They're some pretty cool trucks. Thanks for posting. -
I'm pretty sure I've been by that guy's place delivering aglime. I don't think he's had that truck a long time.
-
I'm thinking that might be the way for this guy to accomplish what he's hoping for.

R models are not as wide as most anything else. If it's not going to see on road service, should be easy to splice something else on it. Like from a packer or a mixer. (something geared lower for it's application. Just couldn't be another R

Separate the frame and bogies
Mark T replied to hicrop10's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Most anything still serviceable is way past body bound bolts and well into the huckbolt era. I remember my first exposure to body bound bolts. Guy thought it was funny watching me cut the head off with a torch and trying to drive it through the frame. -
That old girl still has the New Jersey look though. Did you know of that company ?

Windshield wiper stud
Mark T replied to 2014pinnacle's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Those are a real treat, and not for the faint of heart. I've never done one the nuts didn't have to be cut off the wiper post. -
😂 that bolt through the top flange is exactly what it needed

For what he's talking about, he'd be better off splice'n a bigger lower geared cut off to it (like out of a CL) . Some of those Rs (like that one) had tiny frames and some don't even have a shim between the crossmembers. I've done repairs on those and had a local guy bend some flat plate like a liner for the frame. Crossmembers had to be shortened. Lots of work. He's not content with the axle either , aside from the broken frame.

Seems like a fair price for that truck. If I'm think'n right???? I'm about an hour away from it.
-
Lots of work to address both those issues. Maybe a bigger tractor that needs an engine like in your truck ???
-
Wow. Can't be many left waiting to be found in that shape.

Separate the frame and bogies
Mark T replied to hicrop10's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I'd be real surprised if that frame sprung an eighth of an inch. Looks like the angles for the fifth wheel and rear crossmember and the end plates welded on the back would have to come off. Then slide it all out the back in one piece. All I can picture in my head right now is the Proctor truck. -
It ain't over yet. He could still make an awesome special council.

That Good truck , wasn't too long ago it was a fairly easy thing to see it on route 322 working. There was an extended hood W900 painted the same way too. Beautiful trucks.

75th. Birthday gift B20 dump truck
Mark T replied to Derrico's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Congratulations. Cab looks to be fairly solid on that truck. Oh..... and happy birthday. -
Finally some DM progress
Mark T replied to mowerman's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Look at that thing. Like paul said..... run run run. Now ? it'd have to have a particulate filter and DEF and all that fancy ECM and all. -
Looks a little like Danny Bonaduce.

I PMed you.

89 superliner in Hot Springs Arkansas on govdeals.com
Mark T replied to tjc transport's topic in Trucks for Sale
Looks to be older than an '89. Be a nice truck for someone though. -
Let it out.... it'll be cathartic 🤣
-
If it was big mike there'd be a mushroom stamp on there too

Tip turbine boost?
Mark T replied to Licensed to kill's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Isn't that what you're supposed to adjust with shims ? I think I remember a diaphram being in that cylinder too. I'd be real surprised if any of that stuff is still available .
