My first truck was my grandfathers 1950 GMC 350 flat bed. The old girl made many trips on the farm hauling hay and silage and sawdust. Many fond memories riding in it and going with Dad to get sand for his boys' sand pile was the best. I took her over when I was 13 and painted her green agian with a brush and changed a couple tires with the help of my big bother and even painted the GMC logo on the rear axle in silver to stand out. I drove that truck to work on all the area farms and would trade time for gas. I loved the foot starter and the five speed with the to speed alxe on the dash. My bother has her now and will restore her someday, Tim

Well J.J., you know nothing sounds better than a mack V-8 and your old sugar shack was a great sounding truck. Tim

At my friends saw mill they just installed a new cat V-12 generator and fired it up today. Twin turbo and a really nice sound(for a cat). It really bellows the black smoke when they start up the hammer hog which turns the chips into a bedding material. They mill 30 to 35 thousand board feet of pine a day, love that fuel! Tim

I found a "62" autocar in an old friends junkyard....I'm planning on bringing her home, when the wife isn't home that is. Glad your wife supports your habit! Tim -
New Members Of The Family
Timothy Maikshilo replied to Superdog's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Mike, love that long frame on the LT. It would look awesome fixed up with tall straight pipes. It must be nice finding trucks that aren't rust buckets,(not like New England). Great finds,Tim -

12 Speed Mack Shifting Patterns
Timothy Maikshilo replied to brutus998's topic in Engine and Transmission
The 12 speed is a great tranny. I've enjoyed it in most Macks I've run and wouldn't want any other. I'd always split from the bottom to the top and even when I was bob tailing. It's just a fun to run tranny and with 5 reverse's who would want anything else?, Tim -
I can't tell from the pictures if the RD has panetary rears or 58's? But they ends do look flat. A steel nose all decked out is the meanest looking truck on the road(next to a superliner)! Tim

Timothy Maikshilo replied to Lmackattack's topic in Truck Shows and Events
Hey Trent, I bet it was hard leaving the show that day with so many great trucks. Nice job on the pictures,Tim -
Barry, great pictures and thanks for finding them. There is something about those big steel nose Macks that are very appealing,Tim
-
Hey Nigel, hook her up to the tanker and float her on over, that 500 will keep the nose up! Tim

Sounds steep, my insurance though farm family runs 1400.00 a year and I think that's to much. Keep looking I say,Tim

Some long hours and hard work....well done! Tim

Barry said he can get anything someone needs for an E-9, so I'd talk to him and go from there. Good luck,Tim

Hey Jeff, sounds like a good idea...I just need to add a couple wheelie bars! Tim

-
Hey Bob and J.J., thanks I have looked at the adj. and cannot be tightened anymore. Today I take her out of winter storage and get things tip top. It was 70 degrees here yesterday...crazy but I'll take it and get to work, Tim
-
Graham, there are a lot of V-8's still on the road in northern new england and the guys who have them don't want anything else. I've seen a number of them in Canada too. They're still pretty popular and I too wouldn't want to part with mine,Tim
-
Thanks guys, I honestly don't know what I have. It's a "92" superliner with a 14,000 lb front X. I've avoided it all winter and now it's time to get r done,thanks Tim
