    LOL! about the fender mirrors, never heard it put like that,but i agree! got em' on my CX, would'nt be without them 47 year old eyes aint what they used to be!...mark

    Thats a good looking truck! i have looked at a few of these, my only concern is the turning radius of the set-forward steering axle as opposed to my CX,i go to some damn tight places to get in and out of, and every little bit helps. I'm right there with you on the trans. though,i prefer a 13 spd. myself, and i personally would not consider a truck with a "matic" in it but thats just me......mark

    WOW, this LT is sharp! personally i could do without the giant chrome bumper though, my opinion it distracts from the classic look, but a real nice truck none the less..mark

    Yeah.probably the same guy, i had a pop-off valve go bad in my primary air tank and he came in on saturday to fix me up with another one and a spare,i agree, their about the only descent dealer out in that area, never had too good luck with denver mack........mark

    These are nice looking trucks,i would like to see more pictures of the pair as well, i would imagine an H-60 is quite rare in australia as well,especially a "petrol" powered one.......mark

    I found these pictures of a factory built ED pickup and a ED cab and chassis with a stakebody mounted to show the comparison to the one i originally posted......mark

    I agree with doug, i think your best bet is to contact dave natale at american industrial truck models, he has a large selection of vintage mack truck models and has the means and ability to cast one-off parts, i'm sure he could help you if you contacted him............mark

    R700 Hood:

    vision386 replied to Rob's topic in Odds and Ends

    I have a picture of an RL-700 with this style hood, if i can find it i will post it. It looks to me as trent said, this particular truck has gone through some cosmetic upgrades, re: squared off horns, later model turnsignals, half door-dogs mounted on the fenders, and newer style tubeless type aluminum wheels. If memory serves me, the truck i'm thinking of was cummins powered, maybe a later value liner hood and grille surround adapted to an older R cab? kinda hard to say.......mark

    Hi rob, were you able to find the link back to when you brought the truck home? i'd kinda like to see that...mark

    10/4 thought that sounded familiar, my moms family was from up around the brookneal area,my grandparents lived in wyliesburg, right off 360 as long as i can remember.we moved down here about 3 years ago to be closer to my mom, but i was born and raised in a little town in south jersey. I'm actually right down the street from warren trucking, right at the intersection of 87 and 220....mark

    You should be able to do much better than that,i also run a 01' CX-613,E-7 460, i get considerably better mpg's but, the freight i haul is relatively lightweight. you did'nt mention what you haul,weight ,areas traveled etc. there are many things you can do to improve mpg, but as already stated, start with the basics.......mark

    Hey otherdog, just wondered where gladys,VA is ? after reading a lot of your posts, we both went looking for that yellow G-model up in keysville you said it was about an hour from you, its about an hour from me too. I'm down in ridgeway,va bout' 7 miles south of martinsville........mark
  15. vision386
    That was my best guess as well, though i did consider an EE model too. not sure about it starting out as a pickup though,the body that was on it was off a 3/4 ton international,and the young guy i talked to said when they got it,it had a platform/flatbed body on it. so at this point it's anybodys guess, but i do agree with you,i think its an ED also. mark

    It was a little of both to tell you the truth! but sometime i'll post the set of pictures i took backing into this place, it was quite the ordeal!...mark

    How about this one? this was at virginia tech in christiansburg a few years ago, this was one of the toughest places i ever backed into! but the scenery was sure nice! i was taking pictures to document the back-in when this walked by......mark
  19. vision386
    Man thats just what i was thinking when i replied to that picture you posted the other day! I get down to southern fla. ocasionally,but not as often as i'd like,the "seatcovers" are awsome down there this time of year! mark

    Yes i ordered it from horner,they were "my" dealer for a good long time, till they sold out, i have nothing good to say about the bergey group that bought the dealership ,other than that they still have a great parts guy,(came from horner) he's not afraid to dig deep and find what you need. If you ever get stuck looking for a part, he's worthwhile giving a call at the vineland branch, his name is melvin street (streetzy) he will sure help you out if you need something, and you're not too terrible far from their pennsauken branch. mark

    A bear with an H-63? now i have seen it all lol! thats great! nice to see that someone in california has an interest in something besides a peterbilt.I liked reading about you taking you little boy for a ride, my son sure gets a kick out of riding with me, especially when i let him "drive". I for one could'nt do your job, not in cally anyway.Im always curious where the interst in trucks comes from outside the industry........mark

    I have an E-7 460 in a 01' CX-613, and have had my exaust manifold jet-hot coated since 2006, i initially did it for looks truthfully, but as another poster noted, i did see a noticeable drop in pyrometer temp. but no noticeable increase in horsepower/pulling power. mark
  23. vision386
    Thats a good looking B you have there! what part of NC are you from? i'm in virginia, about 40 miles north of greensboro......mark
  24. vision386
    NICE PICTURE! thats one of the few perks left in driving trucks anymore, seeing those short summer skirts pass you by!......mark
  25. vision386
    Thats a real nice lookin' outfit there! i've been home a few days now, and its been right around 90 here too!.........mark
