  1. Sure wish my Grandpa was still around to see that video Freighttrain. I do believe he'd be Proud.
  2. Paul I couldn't tell you how it works. Alli know is My Grandpa talked about driving his two stick B61 and driving his 3 stick B67. He said it was a Ball to Remember which gear he was in on the 3 stick.
  3. I would love to see someone post a video working the 3 Stick Mack my Grandpa had one it was a B67 I believe is what he said.
  4. Guys I went to high school with decided it would be awesome to steal a construction barrel. Little did they know that alot of times they are sealed at the bottom and hiding a 50lbs sand bag inside. Sucked the kid right out the back of that Chevy S-10 Hahahaha 😆 😂 🤣 Dude drove bout 2 miles before they noticed he was missing from the bed 😆 🤣 😂 😹
  5. Amen to that!! Yeah you oughta see the look on some of these younger kids faces when I tell them I was taught how to set timing on an engine by ear because my Grandpa didn't own a timing light hahahaha yeah they flip out.

  7. Either that or hook er Up to a Pullin' Sled and see how far she'd go.
  8. Hard wood laminate flooring tongue and groove. Most likely from One of our big Hardware Store chains Known as Menards
  9. The GMC ASTRO is missing a mirror in the bottom Pic and also the Ford Lmodel is missing its company logo
  10. I've seen pictures of a Mack B model show truck on Google it's purple and Silver. It's fitted with a nice Big walk in sleeper I believe. I agree B models look excellent with a bunk.
  11. Awesome work on the model!!! I see alot of those when the wife and I go back home to see her family in Ikes fork West Virginia. Those DM800's can actually move down the road. Last year up in Michigan I saw one that had a bunk on the back and a 500 hp E9 stuffed under the hood. I wish I had gotten pictures of it cause it was sweet looking for sure. Love that model.
  12. That'd be a nice truck to have. I'd take the dump bed off though and do a Sleeper conversion and turn it into an over the road truck.
  13. If I had the money that would be an awesome project to restore
  14. I went to A well known College here in Lima,Ohio that is the top Diesel Mechanic schools in the U.S. now mind you this was about 14yrs ago. I ended up only going to school for one session reason being I was watching students in the Ag Diesel program working on Combines and tractors here I was in my Class of Transportation Refrigeration Heating and Air Conditioning diagnosing AC issues on a Toyota Solace. Yeah I didn't understand that concept 😕. So I ended up just focusing on my trucking Career after the session was over. My teacher told me that he hoped I wasn't making a mistake on giving up on College. I can tell you I don't regret the experience I've gained out here on the road by working on and servicing the trucks I've driven over the years and helping the mechanics fix other trucks and asking questions etc. I've learned just as much they would've taught me in College and maybe alil more by just helping and gittin my hands dirty to save the company money on a service call.
  15. Bout the only I'd do with that monster these days is take it to truck shows or hook it to a pulling sled
  16. My wife has a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium. It started losing coolant over a period of time. Took it to a shop and they told her there were no leaks or anything wrong. ( of course I happened to be out on the road and wasn't there).Yeah it finally died on her here acouple weeks ago and when she tried putting more coolant in it like she always did she could hear it running out. Yeah it's been at a Ford dealership now almost four weeks waiting on it's new engine and or parts. Typical young gun mechanics treating a woman like she didn't know anything gotta love it.
  17. I would love to have that Gem
  18. Very nice truck Sir and nice restoration
  19. Oh yeah I love the look of my Truck here which is the CHU613 Pinnacle it has the old school Mack look in my opinion
  20. I talked to my boss about it. He's been in the trucking industry for over 55 years or more and has ran these very trucks. The easiest way to convert it to air would be do a cutoff conversion that way you could extend the wheel base alil as well.
  21. We have another one just like it
  22. I believe that truck came from a dump truck company here in Ohio. I ain't for sure
