  1. Makes me wonder. Back when that truck was new, I don't think they had cameras or film to take pictures like now. How much changed since that truck was new.... beautiful job of preserving some history.
  2. An older RTO ( cheap ) Eaton 13 is only .87 overgear. That's a lot compared to the Mack or RTLO the Mack 13 or 18 would work too with less searching for parts. Wonder what axle ratio is in it ?
  3. Your Mack transmission has a fairly high overdrive. An Eaton 13 would need to be some form of RTLO 13 or you'll lose road speed.....and an Eaton isn't a direct replacement for a Mack transmission.
  4. A Small Cam in good shape also sounds fantastic. Not just the exhaust. The engine itself has a certain distinctive sound.
  5. Then that's likely converted to a 350. Which in my opinion makes it an even cooler truck
  6. Did 335s have an intercooler ?
  7. I think someone has a soft spot for Mack mixers .
  8. Awesome !!! Congratulations , looks fantastic 😍 You already changed your avatar , I know I was a little thrown off at first (lol)
  9. I was right across the intersection there haul'n sand...... that woulda been the place for that steak I talk about (or at least one of those deli specials)
  10. '98 ? ( lol ) there's a really good chance the truck in my avatar blew the doors off you. I had a job right down past the drop lot hauling outta a pit. Small world
  11. Could probably share some really good soppressata too
  12. I'm serious. I have a Granite and a brand new MP7 still on the Mack skid. I'm never gonna get around to it. I'd say I'd buy whatever it takes, but who knows what's available . (Harness, compressor, damper....all that stuff
  13. Geeze Joey, I'll pay ya to come up here and put an engine in a truck for me.....I'll even pay for your fuel to get here n back

    Not to sound unappreciative , but OD would need to school you a bit.
  15. body bag maybe
  16. You're on fire Dave 😂
  17. I did see that. They actually look like teflon coated clamps. Those white zip ties aren't worth much more than as you're using them , they never last around anything truck or exposed to UV
  18. Far be it from me to critique any of the work you've done on this truck, but I see white zip ties. It's been my experience they're not the best choice for anything on a truck. Seems like they always crack and fail .
  19. E9 was a little over 100 cubic inches bigger than a 3406E. Those radiators didn't have much trouble cooling one of those off under most circumstances.
  20. Not to offend anyone, but poor mileage for no reason easily detected usually turns out to be a leak somewhere in the intake. Maybe it's time to recheck all the simple things again ? Easy to get frustrated and miss something some times......we've all done it.
  21. That White was a handsome truck.
  22. and here I thought I was the only one thinking of that movie 😂
  23. I bet a guy named Larry on here is looking real close at that exhaust on that truck with lust in his eye 👀
  24. I think the pump is too (JUNK) Jojo. Gear looks like it never had an oil change .
  25. That grader would be great yard art for an excavating company too
