The BMT Wiki is all updated and ready to go! Be sure to upload as much Mack Truck knowledge as you can! Lets make it the best resource anywhere online for Mack Truck Info! https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/tutorials/

Sometimes you have to mark the email as NOT spam and it should start showing up in your inbox instead of spam box.

Birthdays are back also! Bottom of the index page!

We used to have a chat room but it grew outdated. I just added a new chat box on the index page! Check it out...!

Thanks! Yeah, I have done a lot of research and come up with a kit...I just mainly wanted to see what size is most common. I went with 3/4" studs and a 58" tube length...$225.00 for a complete assembly! http://www.wattstruckcenter.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=588&search=tie+rod

Yes...I'll take a look

Hey guys...what size is the stud that goes into your B-Model steering spindle control arm? It looks like it should be either 7/8" or 3/4" (or maybe both options?) Also, if you have a newer style female threaded tube, what is the tube length end to end? So far, I think 58" would do just fine. Any help or even part numbers that you have used will help! I am trying to put together a new tie rod kit for B-Models but I want to make sure it covers most models!

You can use this forum for posting movies, videos, commercials, TV shows and even songs that have Mack Trucks in them! Post video clips if you can! It always fun to spot our favorite trucks in movies and this should make it easier for everyone to share! If you see old posts about Mack in the movies...hit the report button and we will move them to the new forum!

IPB removed birthdays from the calendar...they might of taken them from the index page as well. I should be able to add a widget at the bottom of the index page.

Yes, the new theme is similar to the default one we were using but this one is custom made and kept updated! It has a lot of features that the old one didn't also, like the ability to change the nav menu. I figured you guys would like drop downs better than the old primary/secondary menu bars! If not, we can change it! There are light and dark versions and you can even change the header image if you like! One nice feature is larger post text for those of us with bad eyes, LOL! (me included!) This is all in the customizer button at the top right of your screen! It looks like an on/off switch beside the PM bubble icon.

Sorry guys! There are so many hackers out there anymore, we have to update the software monthly to keep a step ahead! This months update rendered the old themes outdated and vulnerable to attacks so I had to load up this new theme. Give it a try...it is really nice and has some customizable features too!

I am very impressed! They look good and feel solid! I have half dogs and MACK script coming next! Next projects will be Super-Liner and V8 emblems!

Hey guys! We now have reproduction Thermodyne and Diesel emblems for B-Models in stock! We had them laser scanned and injection molded from ABS plastic and topped off with chrome! The infamously mismatched pins have been replaced with 3M adhesive so you will always have the right fit! They are really nice reproductions and you would have a hard time telling the old metal one from the new ABS ones in a side by side comparison! Pricing is much more manegable at $40 for a Diesel emblem and $60 for a Thermodyne emblem! So give them a try and give us some feedback! http://www.wattstruckcenter.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=59&search=thermo http://www.wattstruckcenter.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=483&search=diesel

Stay tuned!! Watt’s Truck Center will be launching 2 new collectible novelties on Monday!! I think you guys are gonna like them!! Pics and video Monday!! Don’t miss it!!

I am still here...but yeah, still busier than hell! We are short on people, everything is back ordered and to top that off, I just got back from a month off with pneumonia and heart afib. Happy to report that I am on the road to recovery and doing fine! Sorry if I missed any messages, I will try to plow through them and get caught up! How is every one else doing?

Mike was a great guy and an old Mack expert! He was one of the first guys I talked to when I got into the Mack business many years ago! He will be missed by many including all of us here at Watt's Truck Center! RIP sir...

Thanks to all the hard work Mr. Tom Ganaway puts into the registry, I am happy to announce that the 21st edition is posted on our Registry mini-site! You can click the link below or anytime from above in the nav bar! https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/registry/

We were not able to make it this year...we have a couple guys down and not enough people to run the shop and the show tent! If anyone needed something and missed us this year, let us know and we can ship it right out!

Thanks guys...I'm checking these leads out! I also talked to the OP of this thread...he is very knowledgeable too!

Bringing this thread back to life for more info!! A guy here at Watt's is buying a 1962 M54A1 with a Mack 673 in it but the title says it is a Reo truck...is this true or a title mistake? We are looking for more info on this bad boy!

So, who's coming this Saturday?
