  1. Fingers type slower than my thought train. No condensers and dryers which was why it's a close match for those units, but evaps is available from them OEM.
  2. Yeah Excel told me no Mack 65,000 dual reduction rears on Camel Back and no Maxi Torgue so I asked why is it in the brochure and web site? " That doesn't mean it's available" HUH?
  3. I've been looking to get an Anthem day cab. Decided I'm not leaving my kids anything but receipts. Spec'd out most everything I wanted. Asked the salesman at Excel in Va. a few questions and got vague answers. Asked what the heaviest chassis available is and asked the differences between the seven different MP7 engines and the eight different MP8 engines. I know some with the letter 'C' are California spec but wanted to know what the 'A' , 'E' , 'SE' , 'SE-HE' engines are. Sales man suggested the 5050 h.p. engine and the M drive was what everybody buys so get that. Hope thats not all the dealers attitude.
  4. Speedway, Jeggs and Vintage Air have a dozen or so different hot rod style diffusors in different diameters with or with out housings, inexpensive also.
  5. Mine had a rad mounted evap not the grildenzer. No OEM are available but after market which is taller and thinner.
  6. They sent parts for the Red Dot in my R with no issues. Mine was the 8810 MRO unit but 90% is the same as the 8810 MR. Their business is truck and equipment HVAC with Red Dot and other brands
  7. It has thicker rails and the cross members are a small bit heavier with a wider flange area for fasteners. I started with a 204 something inch wheel base cab and chassis, set the bed on where I wanted it 3 inches off the cab back and slid the rear suspension up as an assembly. I also re installed the cross members from the cut off section so mine is stiffer than factory

  9. Give access to the radiator cap. Seen it in a dealer book first I've ever seen in the flesh. I guess there is still hope forme finding a glass nose for my mixer.
  10. I looked at GMC's I ended up purchasing a 2016 Ram 5500 chassis Cummins and 8 speed manual, shortened the wheel base and put on a older Ram 8 foot bed. Replaced the duals with super singles, welded up a aluminum baffled 145 gallon auxiliary fuel tank to fit the full bed floor and use that for job sites and towing both my racecars.
  11. with a test light. key on
  12. Soft top probably went on when the high back buckets were tossed in. It was for sale / sold about three or 4 times before Jetter Trucks got it in at least 2 other states. Thank god it will not be a rat rod. Easy, the striping is sign painters enamel and is way more weather resistant the the original Mack enamel. I have a few photos of it's sister rig. one very weathered before scrapping.
  13. Here is an other nugget, that skiff was GE/Tesla AC electric powered and still exists on Belgrade Lake, appears at the Clayton Boat Museum Regalia every year.
  14. AND? I've had mine since 1989 injected, computer controlled V6 4 speed and only put 40,000 on it in 30 years. You don't want it I'll come pick it up.
  15. From the late 1960's / 1970's when it was a reserve unit.
  16. Good fix. I didn't see the previous post but I've used 1971 Harley Davidson Sportster ignition points spring steel to replicate the contact unit. Your fix is a good idea. Paul
  17. Beautiful unit, hope it goes to a good home.
  18. Mere 40 miles from me. Nah ,not the M917 I bought two 1968 Am General 6x4 tractor units faster and blend in with traffic better. We got them in the middle, POPS Soda Ranch on Rte 66 in Arkadia, Oklahoma 600 plus brands of sodas including Maine Root and Deadwood Graveyard Delight.
  19. The one equalizer is well planned multi layers defensive positions planned and built over almost 4 years. All mortars and artillery had multiple preset aim points, inter meshed fields of fire, well build emplacements and bunkers,multi layered mine fields (including the Omaha cliffs). The losses at Omaha Beach were more severe than expected because the landings were of the mark by a large amount. They landed in an area somewhat softened directly in from of a multi story heavy bunker, the DD Shermans were dropped off to far from the beach and many sunk. Big saving grace was a few Destroyers came in close enough to nearly ground and fired on German bunkers, gun emplacements and wire to open a path off the beach.
  20. More visibility for the drivers image? I did look really close at a new Anthem today at Excel Mack in Richmond. Pretty much equipped as I would want.
  21. Send 1000 pallets of Butter Scotch Root Beer.....No make that 2000 pallets. Great stuff!! Almost a tie with Moxie. Got my face stuck in the bottle trying to get the last bit out
  22. The current crop of seat warmers seem to be of the mind that only a Pete or KW is a "real truckers truck" same group that runs to buy the GM pick up with the 9 function tailgate just because of the hype. My two AM General power units and my Marmon will do everything the new units do except two things. No computer and emissions issues and I am not allowed to go into Cali.Big whoop.
  23. There is a cure for the alphabet person syndrome . . . I believe it involves numbers
  24. So many KIA and wounded on Omaha Beach, Ike was seriously close to ordering the evac of the troops. Close to 4900 killed and wounded in less than 6 hours.
