Alzheimers Sucks my uncle has it. It is very hard to watch loved ones go threw It . He has good times and bad but more bad than good as the disease progresses .. The worst part is nothing you can do about it. He is like little kid sometimes. Hang in there . Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Steve& family

I took the box and all out so 2 of us could take cab off easy. also sat on bloks on floor without wheels on it went easy with nothing in the way need to remove pitman arm and I think 4 bolts it is heavy though . I had no other way to lift cab but by hand. Steve

Watts has windshield gaskets and standard B cab rear window gasket. I need the wide one around rear curved glass. They don't offer that one that I have seen. I have all the rest of them I am told the standard one will work but that is not what was in there I hope to find a used useable one. Steve

HI guys! I may be jumpin the gun a little but does anyone have a rear window gasket for a b-67 style cab? still useable. mine is not very good . all others are new no luck finding this one new. a friend is supposed to have one. but he has not produced it yet he cant find it. so I would like to have another option if he doesnt have it any help greatly appreciated . no hurry long as I find one by spring Steve

Thanks Ben ! How is The B Wrecker ? Steve

Thank you! I think yours will turn out fine. while doing my truck old timers said I was trying to make it better than new I spent lot of time on it. I don't know if you saw the patches we welded in it lot of metal work but I am happy with it I am an expert by no means with body work . I am a diesel mechanic by trade. so body work is slow for me Steve

Thank you for all the tips! I Am not sure I am going to wet sand. Everyone says she looks good . most don't believe me when I say it was the first one I did. We made something to really set off the back of the cab .I haven't had a chance to work on it the last few days I will try to keep my progress updated now that a huge hurdle is out of the way. Steve

how long should I wait before doing that? it has been painted since sat afternoon it has to be completly cured by now right? what compound do I use ? I have never wet sanded or buffed Steve

Looks good ! I like that green Steve

It is single stage paint I used medium reducer and a hardener just followed the directions as far as mixing I was surprised it was cool about 60 but it turned out ok there is a little dust in it here and there but I cleaned the shop best I could it is an old welding shop so there is dust and crap everywhere of course the filler an all was sanded in the same bay no spray booth

thank's Bob I am happy with it so far can't wait to start putting it back together Steve

It isn't perfect and I was learning as I went I was going to just have someone do it but just couldn't afford to. We bought it with a lot of work done already it is 12volt start and the previous owner had complete rear brake job done I have receipts. It was dgiomacks truck she was a member on here she lost interest and got married so she sold me the Mack. It was registèred in ny so we drove it home it runs well and drives good couple oil leaks to fix Clean and paint frame it also has 4 new tires on rear. steve

thank's It is my first paint job not perfect but it's ok . I had a body guy look at it before when in it was in just filler roughed in he said 2000.00 to paint it so I took my time this summer and tried to get it as straight and smooth as I could and these were the results I got with a $15.00 spray gun from harbor freight

nice pics! keep them comin love them ol macks

Lookin good ! is the nose the same color as the cab? or two tone ? that is about the color of my dads uncles we looked for for like 12 years . nice thank's for sharing Steve

thank's fellas this truck means alot because I looked for like 12 years for one my dads uncle had. I sat in it and played for hours when I was 6 or so we couln't ever find it after his kids gave it away after he passed away my truck I bought to do as a project with my great uncle my moms uncle . We started it in 08 and we did alot together but in 2010 he was diagnosed with alzheimers disease and is going down hill fast. He helped me make patches for it and weld them in . but I am going to finish it alone I am learning to do body work as I go as he can't help me he gets lost going from the house to the garage . he sits in a chair and watches . he was a talented welder fabricator for years but it is all gone now. looks like the hard part is over now. I can handle the mechanics of it that is what I do for work hope to have it done for next summer Steve

I did find another one and I like it but it just isn't the same as the sentimental value . it would definetly stay if it was my grandads truck. that's why mine is going to be blue with black fenders instead of red with black fenders. I didn't want it to look the same because it's not. Steve

I would try to find a way to keep it. I spent 12 years looking for the b model I sat in When I was 6 it was my great uncles red with black fenders never able to track it down . came up to a dead end looks like it was cut up. I would have loved to have it just because it was his. He Died of Cancer in 1994. his kids didn't want it and gave it away But my father never thought I would someday want it. He used to haul crushed cars with it in Ct. with the sleeper on it I would keep it even If I had to get rid of something else just my 2 cents gramps gone you still have his mack. Steve
