Hey Larry,have a look at this site,build damn near any Mack there is! (or was).........Mark http://www.aitruckmodels.com/pages/kitsparts.html

Glad its working out for you! having a little fun with a project is the name of the game! Lynchs' still in the wrecker bus.? havent been up that way in quite a while now. Good luck with it,and by all means keep us posted!......Mark

AMEN!..............Mark

Thats a GREAT picture! bout'what i feel like doing!............Mark

Geez! no kiddin'Bob,that is a tight fit! but its in there now! maybe its the pictures,but does'nt look like it needs paint just yet? still looks good in the photos. Not much better than being able to work inside!.................Mark

You never do know till you ask,and Rob is quite right,a Glider is just basically a new truck without engine,trans rears etc. they were once more popular then they are today,but the new epa laws etc. have a lot to do with that.Many were purchased to re-finish a wrecked or obsolete truck,just took all you needed from the donor truck,and add it to the new frame rails,at one time you could even have the frame pre-drilled for a certain set-up,so it was basically an all bolt on operation.......Mark

Scared me there for a minute!,"diggin' a hole" has an entirely different meaning to those of us from Jersey!....................Mark

My thinking as well!,i was thinking more along the lines of say 2/$300.00? or a "make offer" on the emblems and grille surround?............Mark

Hey John,saw these ads for sale on ebay,but i have never seen these particular ads before,was wondering if maybe they were local/regional or only distributed in certain parts of the country?.................Mark

AH HA! sound reasoning! so if i was to say,shut my head in trailer doors,i WOULD feel an immediate relief from the opressive heat? (in theory).....Mark

Found this on Ebay,a little pricey me thinks! but looks in good shape,and those RS700L emblems are getting damn near impossible to find............Mark http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mack-Truck-Hood-Model-RS700L-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3f0bc4c21cQQitemZ270780383772QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Work? whats that? i cant believe some of the crap i hear these days!,i went to the optomotrist today for my yearly eye exam,college age girl ahead of me had to call mommy and ask if SHE had insurance,and wanted to know where daddy works at,and what it is he does for a living?.....maybe its me? but are people really this dumb? LOL!........Mark

Maybe not theirs,but most certainly mine LOL!..................Mark

Seen this one today...Mark http://tricities.craigslist.org/cto/2501875135.html

LMAO! well,a man CAN dream right? ................Mark

Tired of this heatwave,ready for some winter!...............Mark

Hey Bob,hows it goin? yeah,everythings going ok down here,but this heat is kickin'my ass! be glad to see some cooler weather thats for sure! i cant take this heat as well as some people,makes me cranky! crankier? LOL!............Mark

I believe i know someone from Gladys,VA (flatbedder,peterbilt driver)could this be right under his nose?.............Mark http://lynchburg.craigslist.org/cto/2502736098.html

Heres a video of a rare 1955 Mack, W-71 integral sleeper,with a 275 Cummins. I believe the guy that owns this truck also owns the late Joe Mustangs "famous" silver H-model................Mark

Dammit Bigen! i sure hate to hear about things like this! godamn un-acceptable! (pardon my french) i know sometimes ya'gotta bite the bullet,but i NEVER,EVER have my truck serviced at T/A for just this reason,i cant remember how many horror stories i have heard like this,makes my blood boil! must be the Jersey in me,and i compliment you for keeping your cool,but i woulda blew up a lot sooner! i got no time or patience for this kinda BS! I had a PM done at Nextrans down in northern Florida a few years back,with a similar story,went in for scheduled PM,"we'll get to you when we get to you" so,they finally get the PM done,find a rear wheel seal leaking so i tell them to go ahead and do it,"we aint got the parts" come back tommorow! no deal says me,i'm under a load an need to roll,"thats your problem says the mechanic" so after a long argument with the servive manager,decide they DO have the parts,(its 10:30 pm by now) i go out to check the progress on the truck,lean over a snap-on box,mechanic says "get your ass offa'my box,its brand new!!!!" i say "get you greazy ass offa' my truck asshole!!!!" godamn grease all over the fairings,wheels,INSIDE the truck,cigarette ashes etc. i had an effin'fit!!!! I LIVE IN THIS TRUCK!!! i say,how'd you like me to come over an take a shit on your kitchen table i said!!!!! i had to call Mack to get the whole deal straightened out,Nextrans was very happy to see me go,i know that! so you got more cool then i do! my hats off!......sorry for the rant!..........Mark

Thats a good looking truck,looks to be in nice shape! Continental 6? kinda like to know the specs if you get a chance................Mark

Jeez pal,did'nt know you were under the weather! sorry to here you're not feeling well,but i sure hope you get well soon! very best wishes for a speedy recovery! one Jersey guy to another!...........Mark

Anybody heard anything from Ernie (BULLHUSK)lately? have'nt seen anything from him in quite a while...................Mark

Prolly try and make it if i get home in time,never been to this one either...........Mark
