That's it.

I saw on some factory chassis schemas that W frame rails had spread to the front like say B-model did. At the same time I'm sure LT rails were straight front to rear if you look at them from the top. Any ideas on the matter? Just a wrong picture?

I think I had a pic of that blue L-model to the left of the B and it was represented at the same place freshly restored. So seems like this shot was made a while back. Very nice truck anyway. Jim, just wanted to let you know that your recently posted pics look like they had color balance corrected and look unnatural on my screen. Or is that a special kind of digital photo film??

Very strange issue and doesn't seen as a diff issue. I would try to control operation of brakes on the left wheels when such effect happens.

I would be too likely to know where those fenders went. Would like to purchase the whole thing too but at the moment it's definitely not the time for one more serious project.

That's one of the matters of the global economy.

That's not enough to say drool looking at these pictures. More close to the content of animated pic Hatcity used to post sometimes in the past. A long while back Mike Siuperdog put brand new L-model door up for sale on here. I don't remember which side and sure don't have an idea on he sold it or not.

I think they seem quite good if look from under the hood and to below the cab floor. Also could be done with some crawling and a mirror.

Upps... I was learned only about used sail boat fuel so far.

Looks like you dialed the same number

In the picture is T2090 Mack transmission I removed from my Earstern R688 of 1988. Note that the mounting brackets have offset to the front. If you put them left to right the engine will go forward so not your case. But worth to investigate weren't such brackets used in Western or just early R-models of a straight style?

Swishy mate, don't you have any pics or drawings of how that 2nd steer axle looks and the way it attached to the chassis? Interesting setup but uncommon in the areas I can roam over to put nose into and feed my couriosity. Vlad

Not bad at all. Life's going on, you have your money safe on the account what means you still can choose. A bit of time spent but some emotions and life experience.

There was one in a yard in Minessota. But the content of that yard went off at some time so the truck probably went to a different owner. If not scrapped.

Maybe that's not a bad idea. This thread already conteins the most of useful info on the subject and also is a good reason to get on mind of how Leslie Eversole is currently doing

4 valve E6-350 as I can see by the look of the valve covers and breather tube attachment. Ok, going further it's installed in R/RD688 of 1988 or 89

Such sized project is better done with sandblasting. And that would save paper for different applications Thanks for sharing that remarkable artifact of Mack history.

Best B-day wishes!

Also try contacting Matt Pfahl in CT, google his name and you will get to the web-site. He had LS firetruck for parts in his yard and as I remember it was an open cab and the doors were in place. So hopefully the windows either. Sorry to hear that unpleasant story. Vlad

Funny but nervous story. And frustrating so far. Of my (huge) experience of vehicle purchases I took worthes off many cases which looked absolutely cantencerous and the persons who I had to deal with were at least to say clowns. One exciting thing in such entertainments is you seldom get a really nice thing by really easy way. Maybe excepting cases when you pay high price but that is also not always an exception as we know. In this particular case if the cost was not low (as I figured) I would let the things to cool off and see if the seller gets more clever figuring he met a buyer who could really pay the price. So in this case he would better slow down on his "complicated tricks" and put actions in a common order. If he does you would have your hands freed up to inspect the car more deeper and if Ok offer him 75% of the original cost as "things got changed on your side of the life during the time passed". I sure don't talk you to go buy the car in the situation you have now but just think the case might develop in different directions including the positive one. If nothing good or no news at all it might worth to visit that town in a month or two when you have ocassion driving that direction, come to a local pub or another public place and try asking about that car "a friend of yours once saw there" or so. Pretty sure the car is quite remarkable for such the small city and many people would share facts about it and its owner. Anyway it's always easier to change matters as long as the money are with you. And don't forget to keep us posted

Wow! Looks like I missed some part of the party. Kept the project in mind but found out it had great development since I checked in last. Very impressive and nicely done job either by the result and the art of fabricating. Very pleased to observe all the stages. Once again, many thanks for detailingly represented every step, sure a real help to anybody who would rebuild an L-model cab. I'm also in the line but my story is a bit different since military cab is in fact a convertible, with no metal roof. Good luck on the continue, will keep my attention more close.

Donny, A question - don't you have one 7.5x22.5 5 hole stood centerd still wheel? I need it to complete the one in the picture to get a pair. Need it shipped to NJ but that's another story. I was going to visit Global Truck Traders for a while but that turned out a bit long way to North from the area I used to be in. Vlad

I'm also on a hunt for it. But my original hinge is relatively good so I keep hopes to fix it.

Didn't you ocassionally save a pair of front springs off the MH you scrapped a couple years back?

At least there were stamped steel and cast alu covers. I tell about E6 and EM6 engines but earlier engines could have them either.
