we have two computers === in separate rooms!!

now you see the reason I drive 25 miles(each way) to the farm and help out. she's retired also. easy answer when asked :"how did you two stay together for 20 plus yrs" ==== never saw each other much!!!LOL

might find it easier to gently remove the two shift levers. will depend on what glue you are using also.

Now I don't complain about "mine" ;; more like expressing a thought.!!!LOL

It's never tooo late ; they make plenty of models of the Mack. buy one for the Mrs. might give her a better understanding of the skill AND quite needed to built one.

prepping for the east coast blizzard of the '70's(78?) I mounted a V plow like that to a road grader owned by Schiavi Const.. put as many roof lights as possible. chains on all wheels. grader went one direction; loader one; and the TD-20 dozer down the road. neither came back for 3-4 days. no cell phones then. service truck with fuel followed the open roads to locate machines.

whether it's a big rig or a scale model ; the builder knows what it takes to build. build a real engine ; no one sees the pistons. the mechanic knows what's inside. point is the interior of a scale model needs the same integrity to build. getter done !! fun part of model modification is looking at it after built the builder knows of the frame stretched or engine changed ; my 352? pete from the 70's took 7 different models to build. or how air bags are made from alr cleaners taken from car models. keep it fun

only one thing spoils that beautiful picture !! silver wedding ring! LOL

Ginger Zee ; good morning America has my vote for prettiest weather girl on TV .

can't recall anyone having a steel nose R Scania powered ; must be a municipality unit looking at driver's door insignia. the picture could be CT today ; LOL

another new England fleet name forgotten.

Albert Bros; scrap yard company _ still in existence today had a few R-400's some Scania others the Chrysler V-8. like most of new England Mack fleets ; Albert's now has the "other" brands.

CT has a light steady snow fall at the moment. visibility getting worse. told other half . I'm going in basement to work on the macks (1/25th ones). when the heavy snow brings the trees down on the house ; I'll be downstairs , she can stay upstairs !!!😁

10 4 0n the 6; for me prostate cancer made that a short subject .

a driver side picture would have been great. many sleepers back then did NOT have access from cab. another reason they were called coffin sleepers. driver side many times had the one long door to climb in. sleeping across seats did prove not much different.
