Paul, Do you mean of applying silicone sealer before putting a layer of primer and paint being put onto? Or onto already painted surface? And which kind of silicone are you talking about? A common gasket sealer from a tube? I'm pretty sure there's plenty of sealers used to apply on body parts for example to seal weld seams etc. Or are those products should be ment as poliurethane, not silicone?

As said above. For instance I don't have Instagram account and not going to set it up. On the other hand being true I'm not a serious buyer for a restored B-model at the moment

Can't figure is that a sleeper cab? Looks long for a daycab but short for a sleeper? A half sleeper H?? Quite rusty indeed but an H-model is not a truck you see everyday. Sure if you don't have it by your shop

Nice B! Hope you're able quite enough to keep the track on all your Mack projects Good luck on this one either! -
That's even a DMM. Seems they had to remove RH running board to clear front tyre. Not easy to crawl to the passenger seat Thanks for sharing.

Restoration of my 1929 AC
Vladislav replied to ekennedy21's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
To say great is to say nothing! The body is unbelivable! Now I just hope to get a chance to visit Macungie show one more time and see that beauty in person. Congrats on the perfect deal done! -
Superliner Project
Vladislav replied to ekennedy21's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
That's not DM bumper. That's optional heavy duty Superliner bumper. The one which was origially on the truck (red one) looked nostalgic. But I doubt it would look nice after the truck get fresh paint. What was impressed me the most is the condition of the frame rails. They seem as brand new and someone put scratches on them just to make used look Good luck on the project! -
Hello comrade,
I wish a very happy Thanksgiving to you and the family!

Have the great time!

Happy Thanksgiving my American (and Canadian!) friends!

That's just a reference picture, not parts for sale. If you need such part I think you better put an add in Parts Wanted thread of the forum.

Superliner II bumper part#
Vladislav replied to Vladislav's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Thank you for taking the time. I went through the web once again and it seemed like the only bumper you can purchase at the time is Mack (made by Hendrickson) 5887-MM0611. Unfortunately I couldn't fine any picture of that particular style of the bumper so that's still a mystery. MM0613 looks good on pics and would work nice for a Superliner but the facility I requested a quote on answered NLA. -
Couple of Super's

Great looking trucks you have there down under! Thanks for sharing. -
Amazing! Even difficult to belive you could keep a working truck in such nice looking condition.

A really rare anymal in my neck of the woods which is full of rail cars and highway traffic. Don't remember ever seeing them in a real life.

That's not a part you usually see on a truck picture. Worth to point out there were RS600 and RS700 models, latter ones had longer hood. The pic attached is from RL700 (aluminium rails) sales brochure. As you can see that front engine support or front chassis crossmember is of different style than R600 dump truck on the above picture has. It's made integrated with front spring front brackets. You truck doesn't have that style as I suppose.

Can't figure the matter. I tinker with an idea to order brand new RWII chrome bumper until they're avalible. Remember we discussed a flat bumper with dished towing openings and no fog light holes was 5887-MM0613. Seems like NLA to the moment. There's also 5887-MM0611 which i expect to be the same but with square fog light holes Can anybody proof that or share different facts? I wouldn't be happy ordering $600 part and finding it wrong after it's on the other side of the waters.
-
Ok, here you go. RS600.
-
Do you mean this?
-
Wow! Something almost new to me! I was pretty dumb sure the only inverted Camelback was Mack Taperleaf.
-
The slleeper is doing good. It's painted and with a mostly complete interor. Also the cab and the hood are painted. I didn't update much. Would like to get the most nice pieces together. Seems like there's nothing to boast of since the job takes that long

Camelback parts
Vladislav replied to h67st's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
First thing which comes on my mind is drilling a larger hole in the leaf. But further figuring tells it might make the leave's end weaker. So seems better to machine the pad's pin. It's steel or cast iron so could be machined with a right equipement or cut in size with a grinder and I doubt it would be any less strong than a factory pad with smaller pin. -
Camelback parts
Vladislav replied to h67st's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Do you mean those "buttons" were installed inside cavits in axle housings? Strange to me since my military Mack made in 1945 already had rubber pads for both the top and the bottom of the springs. Maybe the reason was my Camelback is 44000 and yours looks lighter, I'd say 34000. I'm not ready to give 100% bulletproof advice but if I were you I'd look for Mack rubber pads of different sizes and try to use suitable ones in place of the buttons. Should admitt in most cases Camelback rubber pad destroy occures lower pads. And upper ones are found worn quite seldom. -
Should admitt the double headlights are "Russian improvement" and the grill was bought and installed by me. Don't know the reason but the most SGT R688 and some other Canadian R's didn't have it. Seems strange since I would expect it as standard factory equipement for the particular Mack model.
-
Ufff!... No, that's not my truck and none of the 5 went to Russia. But configurated the same. The exceptions are aerodyne top instead of a plane shield my truck has and there are additional fuel tanks which were specified in the factory order list but by some reason were never installed. The most interesting matter along these trucks is the style of that sleeper. I saw multiple ones but they were all installed on SGT R-models. And I never saw anything like that elsewhere.

Swishy, mate, thanks for clearing me up. Now I'm not that blind in part ## jungles
