  1. You're right. It does from the front view. Cool! Paul
  2. I got a lot of detail drawings from Mack I can scan some up of the chassis and pedals and dig up pics of the parts disassembled on the floor. I did take photos of the parts in order of disassembly. Paul
  3. U? the red one is my aluminum chassis'd Auto Car
  4. Chart says it should be a 7.5 inch. Like MADDOG sys the buldge is off which is the "aspect ratio. That should be 88% of the tire width to be correct. You probably ould do it for limited usage though.
  5. There was a B at the Winchester Va show that was the same.I thought it was unusual because there was filler panels behind the fenders to move them forward and the longer hood. Paul
  6. Took these with my cel phone, I have no idea how to make them larger! 18 wide 22 long 10 high
  7. Theres a few bad photos in my album here. I have never taken more of them other than parts location. Guess I should take a few more..
  8. My old time tire man showed me the Good Year tire to rim size chart, 8.25 x 20 are on a 6.5 to 7 inch rim. Said 9.00 x 20 will fit if it's a 7 inch rim with out changing the aspect ratio much. I've gotten U.S. made new tires from M.E. Miller Tire Co. in Wauseon Ohio. for my White. They carry 8.25 x 20 in highway tread for about $200 a tire or so 1.800.621.1955 http://www.millertire.com/ Tire to rim width chart . http://waterstorage.tpub.com/TM-5-3820-256-24-5/css/TM-5-3820-256-24-5_697.htm
  9. I honestly have no clue. I'd like to see what fits and use them on the AC I'm restoring, it has 7.50 x 36 and 8.00 x 40 on it now. I'm spraying mine with PB Blaster and un inflated them to eventually get them apart and see what the rims look like. Kind of why I'd like to see a booklet on them. I contacted Good Year and they have no public accessible archives. I would think some where on the hard parts would be a patent number. Three of the tires are 8.25 x 20 one is 9.00 x 20 so OEM rim width would only be 6.5 inches and I can get new 8.25 x 20 tires from Miller Tire in OHIO. Don't know if 22.5 wheels would fit as replacements until it comes apart. DO NOT want to use the 30's true split rim wheels!!! Paul
  10. One of the AC Macks I bought for parts has these Pneumatic tire conversions on it made by Good Year This is a late 20's early '30's conversion to replace solid tires with pneumatics. The spoke wheel is cut off and machines to weld on the new flange to the spokes. The new inner rim and tire is than put on and than the outer tire and rim is bolted on. Any body ever see an article or a booklet on his set up? I know these are the true split rims and are a no no. Paul
  11. Have a MACK Happy DaY!!!!
  12. Mind set! The Township of Islip (2 townships over from us) Town Supervisor announced the because of their budget short fall, they need to raise property taxes 65 to 70%. If the don't raise the taxes, they'll be forced to retire or lay off workers, forgo raises and not replace their 3 year old fleet of employee vehicles. The public objections died down when the tax department said it will cost the average home owner only $50.00 to $75.00 a monh more to not lose workers and efficency. It's $600 to $900 a year plus the 12.7% school tax increase for the contracted teachers raises. Thats a reflection of the political mind set of a mostly Democrat township.
  13. If you have to make up a story to pan handle best be creative! I'd give him a buck for the laugh.
  14. Why is it that the people(and I use "people" loosely} who think he's wonderful, are the people who nothing he does affects them? A holes all! Madonna naked ... Paul
  15. Enjoy your day. Paul
  16. We give aid to China....CHINA!!! This article is a year old, aid to China has increased 36%, for construction of low cost Hydro Electric and Nuclear power plants for them... http://www.usnews.co...gn-aid-to-china America First!
  17. Here it is in High Point limber from Hanks Photos.
  18. The Confederate Battle Flag with it's well-known "Southern Cross" was completely square and carried by the Confederate troops of the Army of Northern Virginia. This rectangluar version is the Confederate Naval Ensign and was flown by Confederate warships. The land flag of Northern Virginia and Trans Tennessee is square, same St Andrews Cross.
  19. I always wanted to the the MAUS thats there.
  20. I had to take my wife grocery shopping, cause her clutch has no more adjustment and starting to slip. Grocery Shopping.... that was hard work!! Paul
  21. I talked to Erickson's a while ago on the Marmon they had and some parts for my R model. When you see their listings that says "cab and chassis" with no specs, that's exactly what it is. A cab and chassis. No power pack or a stripped power pack. They're a salvage yard first and a dealer next. Paul
  22. AAH! that explains the conveyor belt on it. Have you been to Kubinka museum? It's near by Moscow is it not? Paul
  23. Phil Kerpen, President of The American Energy Commitment, a conservative group,a grassroots organization, has been tracking President Obama's "War on Coal." Here's his much more lucid explanation for the current rise in retail electricity prices: "The lynchpin of the Obama’s War on Coal is the so-called Utility Maximum Achievable Control Technology (Utility MACT) rule, also known as “Mercury and Air Toxics Standards” or “MATS.” The rule requires expensive retrofits at coal-fired power plants, raising electricity prices nearly 20 percent with no environmental benefit. The cost, according to EPA’s own estimate, is $20 billion per year. A more realistic analysis from the National Economic Research Associates found compliance costs of $51 billion per year, with 183,000 lost jobs per year. Worse, if the rule stands it will combine with Obama's new greenhouse gas rules to shut down all coal-fired power plants in America, a genuine economic catastrophe that will make prices “necessarily skyrocket as much as 70%” and undermine the reliability of our electric grid." In 2008, coal supplied 49% of our electrical power. Today, three and a half years into Obama's presidency, President Obama has succeeded in cutting coal's share of our electrical power production to 26%. With the assistance of a Democrat-controlled Senate and a few Republican Senators, he's well on his way to fulfilling one of his campaign promises--bankrupting the coal industry and skyrocketing the retail price of electricity. Here is the Forbes article on the Department of Interior and the White House's new War on Natural Gas. http://www.forbes.com/sites/markhendrickson/2012/09/20/a-mean-green-obama-wages-war-against-cheap-energy/
  24. agree with Mike, the last one looks "classy" IMO. Paul
