41chevy replied to Fran3682821's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Any competent shop that makes hydraulic hose can use your hard ends and re-swage replacement section of the hose for probably on the high end, few hundred or less. Paul -
Try a hot rod or speed shop for AN fittings.

Electric speedometer in an rw
41chevy replied to IH Farms 2's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
I put a Speedhut 4" GPS speedo unit in my Marmon,(gauge sizes go up to 5 1/2 inches) A hot lead and a Ground, put the GPS sending unit top center of the dash and done.No cables adaptors and ratio figuring. Customized the gauge at the factory to match the other gauges in the dash and even added MARMON TRUCKS to the face at no cost. $279 free shipping and a lifetime garrentee on the unit -
Try a marine supply like West Marine, that seem to be more like a running light unit. Paul

Assault trucks to be BANNED!!! in France....
41chevy replied to Freightrain's topic in Odds and Ends
Kick the crap out of their supporters and although the terrorists will still be a force to be dealt with, their bases of operations and money supply will become sparse. A company or individual supports or supplies them, hit them militarily, financially or seize and destroy their homes. Not as much support for Hamas in Gaza when the IDF targets the areas they hid in. When their supporters end up homeless, they kind of lose their incentive for the "cause". Re instate our old ROE so there is no need to get permission and justification to fire back. Let the field commanders make the decisions not somebody thats not even in country. Eight years as the "president", he has declared war on terrorists eight times and done nothing. The man considers one of his proudest moments when he drew the "line in the sand" in Syria and did not follow through. He feels it is a sign of a great leader to show compassion and humanity to not follow up his warning with violence. All it showed IMO is we are pu$$y whipped and have no will to defend our selves. Only eight years ago, you attacked the U.S.A. we made dust of you and 90% of the world knew that....starting seven years ago, you attack us and all you get is a wimper and a plea to please don't do it again. We have slashed the Navy's ships and subs, we have scrapped or given away good needed combat aircraft to replace it with a multi use fighter that has trouble staying airborne no less able to function in combat. Build more armor? Sorry but the EPA regulations shut down the Detroit Arsenal, sorry we can't build armor anymore not a green industry you know. The president and his people are working pretty damn hard to give the Islamic radicals and the Illegals the keys to the country, so maybe before we target ISIS we should eliminate that problem too. Hillary will be even worse! Un bridled hatred for the military and an admitted ultra progressive (socialist) -
New Wooden Spoke Wheels
41chevy replied to 41chevy's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I have pieces but I got the drawings from the museum. I will do the same thing I did with the headlight yokes. I had them drawn up in CAD and had them 3d printed to make a master to make a sand mold cast from. At least thats the plans. The machine work is easy once there are castings. Paul -
Assault trucks to be BANNED!!! in France....
41chevy replied to Freightrain's topic in Odds and Ends
With Mayor DiBlassi in NYC police going back to fighting crime would be looking out for Big Gulps, too much salt or sugar or not calling a LGBT by what ever moniker they prefer. Maybe we should stop make up reasons why they are terrorists and deal with it swiftly and with military force. They are at war with the Western World and are combatants so deal with them as such. No civil trials, UNCJ USMCJ and Military punishment. Want to be a solider for Allah? Then we'll help you die like a soldier, We were hit by V.C. from a few villages, a couple of Zippo raids to their villages and the support for them vanished. Elected Officials want to stand in the White House, Congress or Senate and defend them? Than you too can be charged with Aiding and Abetting the enemy and or Treason. -
Diamond Specialty Vehicles announces all-new models
41chevy replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
There was Grazzio's Contracting on Long Island that had a pair of the Diamond Reo Ant Eaters, one mixer and one dump both Dietz Air Cooled V-8s. Margis-Dietz is /was pretty dependable and there never seemed to be a parts availability problem. I believe the parts were available through the local Mercedes.Benz truck dealer..

Assault trucks to be BANNED!!! in France....
41chevy replied to Freightrain's topic in Odds and Ends
iWell, since Hillary's mouth piece mentioned it was lack of education and jobs that causes these attacks and also mentioned the ALL Commercial truck drivers should have back ground check similar as is needed to purchase a firearm. NYC Mayor said he would prefer to ban heavy vehicles from areas near Festivals and Event with "substantial groups of people". Some of our elected officals might see the logic to attempt to ban them from areas. . .after all it is never the attackers at fault! -

some old iron
41chevy replied to Willie dog's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
There was near me a pretty clean and complete, 1930 Model A Ford 5 window, had a V-8 60 in it installed in the early 1950's. The owner used it in high school. I used to stop a few times a year to ask about buying it for better part of 10 years or so. Always got the line that him and his grandson were going to fix it up. One day it was gone. Saw the gentleman out side and asked if it was being fixed up. He said he gave it top a local scrapper, "no one wanted the old car anyhow" People are odd letting go of their prizes. -
My 1988 Dodge Ram was a basic work truck,no frills just vinyl and rubber interior. Options were a N.P. heavy duty manual trans with creeper low and PTO, heavy duty cooling and charging systems,twin fuel tanks and stainless steel exhaust. Basic radio,PS, PB no AC or power windows...a basic work truck. Looked for a new basic replacement for 5 years and never could find one.No manufacturer makes a basic truck. With the move to Va. I just replaced it with a left over 2015 Ram 5500 Chassis with options the I'll probably never use. Paul

2017 is the start of the EPA's Tier 2 MPG requirement for heavy trucks. 99% of everybodies are being tweaked for Aerodynamics and weight to meet the new CAFE rule, All Hail OBama Unicorn laws. Paul -
If you do only have to replace the inner cable don't forget to lube it. Paul

Walking around the street is a Ego trip and stupid, no two ways about it. BUT, Nothing. . . nothing, is going to stop a criminal, a terrorist or a mentally deficient person from obtaining a weapon to commit a murder or other violent act.There is always someone or some organization to supply the items. The "assault weapon" spiel came up in the Dallas Shooting. It wasn't a AK-47, or a AR15, it was a conventional SKS rifle. No "High Capacity'' Magazines.just a 10 round stripper clip. So Michael Bloomberg and his Moms Against Guns want a ban on all military based rifles now. Paul

Nice potential. I'm always amazed the people who want to "save them to fix up"almost always leave the windows open for critter guards. Paul
