    I think something like a Delco 22SI will bolt right on and they are only like 200 bucks. But that LN 2500 series is a good unit. It could just be the diode trio blown out of it. You can most times replace those without even taking the alternator off If it's been sitting a long time it could just need the field flashed

    Back in the day I saw more than a few with a ratchet strap or a piece of rope holding the door shut. Guys that were fancy used a slide bolt or a hasp, especially on the drivers side

    We never put a million miles on a truck. Based out of Philly, I think the farthest we ran was Bethlehem's Sparrows Point Mill. Mostly Philly area, NJ and NYC. There were like 3 trucks out of 25 that had the electrics in them. Everything was 4.17 ratios and 2 different reduction boxes, one for the 20 inch rubber, and another for the 22. It was like a lot of stuff like wedge brakes, trailer lights and all. I didn't mess with it if it was working, but when it broke, it got changed over to our standard stuff to match the rest of the fleet

    We had some late 70's R models that had electric tachs and speedos in them. 3 wire senders. I assumed they were little permeant magnet 3 phase generators. When they broke I just put regular mechanicals in them. I had all the parts already in stock. I know these are different, but I just didn't see the advantage over mechanical, and I always tried to keep them whole fleet the same as much as possible

    I love old pictures like that. Dirt and grime, dents, the way I remember the trucks actually being used. Every scratch and field repair tells a story

    I'm thinking Phelan and Rogers were together at one time I don't think it's the same Rogers that makes trailers though because they are in Pa

    Are you trying to stay original? Or do you just want something that functions the same? What is that chassis?

    There are pictures of my stuff on here, pictures of my 10,000 square foot shop with 20 foot clear ceilings too. And I'll say it again, ALL CUSTOM TRUCK BUILDERS ARE HACK JOBS

    I think they are still using it. That is a beefed up 600 or 650 Holmes on the back. They built it all at their shop

    Giggy at Penndel had one. He got his off of Warner materials in Fairless Hills

    Somebody Yeah for Joe Sr. I was friends with Joe Jr. I think Jr has passed on, or he'd be about 90 now

    Joe Capecci Twin steer mixer. He owned the trucks, and Liberty Concrete owned the barrels. He had lots of Macks too. I used to go over his place and pick through his stock of LJ parts. The others are one of Buckley & Company's Dumps.

    That depends on the dump body and type of hoist. None of that is made by Mack
