sweet, i like it.

see New England Motor Freight's red white and blue painted up B42 in the background of that last pic.

like the paint colors, dont like the visor and never cared for the plastic or fiberglass fenders. looks clean tho

same here. air ride and seat belts dont harm a original restoration in my eye i guess.

kinda like the unique paint scheme on that U model

stock is preferred. few upgrades like SEATBELTS are nice, makes me feel a little more cozy with that big HARD 22 inch sheering wheel not going thru my gut. tasteful upgrades are nice, radial tires and the such. dont need 500 chicken lights or a bunch of chrome on my truck. also like the old school period correct painted on graphics.

would have to be a R621 or something like the B models with the hall scott or big cummins in them and the extended radiator. haha

the en402 was a Continental engine anyways and then a scania so its not like they took a Mack engine out and put a road oiler in anyways haha. was a non Mack to begin with

yup, the cast one is a B61SE or something right Mike? i asked about that one a few months back. you could get the big aluminum radiator with any diesel i believe. a milk hauler around kingston ny had a bunch of B61's with 711's and the big radiators.

how about $7800? just tossin it around.

all i know is they had a R400 with a blown up scania and a cab over Ford (Blue Mule Style) with a detroit and a roadranger and they ran into each other lol. damn shifter about hit the back of the cab and the 671 about put the radiator on top of the bumper

kinda like this one haha. least they kept runnin em and not put out to pasture or scrapped. if it wasnt for this one getting re engined with the detroit, i would have never gotten the cab cause it would have long been scrapped with the original 402 in it or the scania that was in it after. pretty much a shame to see a truck with 80,000 miles on it on its third engine. shows you the mechanics and drivers didnt care.

gotta agree. green on green is sweet.

the harness isnt that difficult to make yourself. take it out, mark where everything goes, trace the wires, cut out the bad and replace them one at a time with the same size. thats what i did with my B613. ditched the original harness cause it had glass fuses and rebuilt one that came out of a B68T

soak her up, you should be able to get a socket on that nut, loosen it up but not all the way. heard of guys drillin and tappin threads in the metal hub part and using a regular steerling wheel puller or if you have access to a big gear puller with flat jaws, (the kind that locks around) OTC makes them but they are pricey, all the old time mechanics have one. they work good cause toy can get under the bottom around the column and pull the whole thing instead of bendin the wheel. some pop right off by hand, some are a bitch. i usually end up takin the whole box out whole.

the Buckeye Bulldog pullin superdog of Collins's has a fiberglass cab, think he made it himself tho.

yup, believe DEKA makes them. have had good luck with Napa batteries. Federated brand i cant stand tho, pieces of junk.

def has Brockway front hubs and and fuel tanks. oddball there for sure.

have seen them with 20's also. believe Sid Kamps blue and red B81 has 20'' rubber

must have a high torque low voltage starter that uses one 6 volt battery

or 3/8 male connectors? and brass unions and snap rings?

yup Tack bought the H model and the 361 Brockway ''Mountaineer' from Fred Beauchamp several years ago. Matt Pfahl did the resto on the H model and Tackaberrys Brockway was very lightly restored by the Tack Crew after they acquired it

yup or ''Roomy B model cab'' just doesnt fit in the same sentence....

god i have loved that SSS truck for years, its sweet as are the colors. as for the B81 with ''Homeboys toy'' on it... WTF? a Mack should never have some slang asshole Mojo name like that across the front. as Buford T Justice would say,... ''What is the woooorrrld comin' to?''

have heard of the old timers pourin a little gas in the diesel tank to in the old days. we usually run red oil in all our rental and offroad equipment, i occasionally run a tank thru the truck iim low but not usually, they have been checkin 1 ton pickups here lately in Ny. was glas i had red oil the past few days cause my buddy at Napa told me i had the only Superduty piece of junk around still runnin. he knew something was up. was 18-20 below zero here for 2 days about 3-4 days ago. i usually pour the white jug next to the 911 in the tank year around tho. i have a 100 gallon tank on back of truck and 300 in the shop. have not had any problems, just a plugged filter lately but no gellin.
