  1. A guy I worked with years ago had a set of Salt and Pepper shakers ( Bulldogs) with Mack on their collar, he showed them to me, said his Uncle bought some Mack cement mixers years ago and the dealership gave them to his Aunt. I’ve never seen any since.
  2. I’m not sure, I have some old issues but I can’t remember, Might trying contacting them. They still have some old ones in stock .
  3. Very nice collection! Good explanation.
  4. Yes , it doesn’t take much slack in the trans for those long sticks to be very sloppy, They can hit the opening in the floor, I’ve had to heat them and bend,, I’ve also seen them get bent from lowering the cab .
  5. Thank You, I’ve seen some advertisements on them , I wonder if they are the same quality as a original hood , I think the one on my 86 Freedom is a aftermarket, It seems thinner than the one on my 88 Superliner
  6. Yes, post some pictures, I have a 1958 H Model that I parted out if you need something that you can’t find.
  7. Nice ,, were did you get it, I might get a new one for my Freedom
  8. A little progress,,, This was supposed to be just an axle swap, Both tanks were leaking, so here we go.
  9. I think I will,,,The next time we are at a show remind me to show you a video on my phone ( dash cam) of me hitting a Black Bear with my Western Star,, He hit hard on the bumper where it bolts to the frame, felt like he came through the radiator,,, He got up and ran!,
  10. Thank You, it was on the truck when we bought it, I was thinking about putting a original extended bumper on it, but I would have to find some original mounts , the parts truck I took the 18,000 axle from had all the mounts and bumper but they were already sold. I might polish this bull bar and put it back, the quicker I get this truck back on the road, the quicker I can work on our Freedom
  11. Nice! It’s good to see a before and after picture, great progress. ( the front bumper mounts on your frame looks identical to my LJ .)
  12. Im going to try to swap out the axle in a few days, I got this one cleaned, painted hopefully it will go smoothly, One thing for sure, I’ll find know all the hurdles of going from a 14k to 18k .
  13. Yes, he sent me the information on the magazine, He did a great job researching! I have a lot of copies from the 90s and 2000s that my Dad had, but I missed out on a few years! Good Reading.
