its a long hood for sure

I am putting 010 up for sale to a good home soon. I will get something posted up in the for sale section. Now that they are both up and working, I don't need two even though I like having two.

just have to say the sound of 1092 cubic inches growling is amazing, I cant get over the thunder this makes. it is very unique. We had crowds around every time it started up. it drove amazing.

this was a fun day as the Mack did great, but my 48 chevy was having temp issues.

Ok, I am back, fell of the internet for a while but I have been working. I actually have them both up and running, driving, stopping, Maintenance all caught up, and man what a ride. My son and I ended up taking old number 9 to the good guys car show in Puyallup Washington and showed it there, as well as taking them down to car shows in Kent and Auburn, what a bunch of fun. I will post up some pictures in a few.

Sorry I fell of the map, I have been working on lots of stuff lately including both B-21's and forget to get on here and let you all know how things are going, I will update more info in my original thread.

I know this is an older post but can anyone help point me in the direction of where the bleeder valve is located? I cannot find it anywhere protruding from the unit in the truck. do I need to disassemble the unit to get to the bleeder?

Mine were both Positive ground. How did I know? Since they came that way, I checked the diameter of the cable post, and they fit positive post to the grounded cable, negative post diameter fit the starter side cable, so I knew that was how the last battery was installed. Not really sure there is any advantage to switching it over unless a guy was determined and really wanted to go to all the trouble. Maybe I would do it if I was going to install lots of modern electronics.

Ok, here is the finding of the truck and pulling it home, with first start up and drive. longer video with the surprise at the end. My son did this video for me to share with all you Mack guys. He wants to do more of these and we have lots of work to do still.

So here is what it is supposed to look like. pictures from the Seattle antique fire department.

yes I did, I will be happy to email this info to you.

So you are correct, and that is what has me the most concerned. No the water inlet / outlets on the side of the truck were not covered, however they do have the Grates / screens over the main inlets. the tank was covered, and the drains are all open, so I really do not know what is in there. I didn't want to turn it without knowing whats inside. Flushing water through there may be a good idea, but it may also push crap into the pump, I was hoping that there was am inspection cover that would let me get a better feel for what I am dealing with. I do have a long bore scope that I will fish into the inlet and see what I can see.
