I have seen some factory pictures of front mount v plows on 8n's, use to have a book somewhere, I think it was raised the same way with the 3 point hitch, kinda ambitious for 28 horsepower with a v plow

yup, the wedge trailers with the singe rear wheels instead of duals are my favorite. we have towed more than a few off the interstate, overloaded with wheel bearings gone or better yet, wheels totally gone, bearing gone, wheel studs broke off, etc..

my personal favorite is the sheet of paper with sharpie wrote on it with clear package tape attaching it to the rear extended cab window of their 1 ton PICKUPS that they think are big trucks. seems to be a new thing up north here. all one tons with such and such hauling and sh*t wrong on them with a huge car carrier hauling 3 or 4 salvage cars , the better ones are regular pickups, then you get the cab and chassis ones with the huge perterbilt tank mounted sideways across the back of the frame.

yup, Ny use to be a shoe in, been tryin t clean up a few dirty titles for a friend lately and ran into a few snags tho

fresh fuel, prime her up, fill the filters, 4 new batteries and the old 237's are pretty forgiveable

think I used a delco 21 or 22 SI.

my favorite line, ''if you don't like it, get the F*ck out!'' all these flakes need to get over it, like it or not he is our president, did I vote for him? absof*ckinglutely!. do I agree with everything he does and says? nope. gotta be better than the last two or three or four and if not? oh well, give him a chance. my favorite line from Obama...'' I'm going on a vacation'' really? cause where have you been for the past 8 years?? get a job! wish I had all day to sit around in my lookalike Vietnam war gear and protest. nope, I have a job where the government rips me off every week to support your lazy asses

the en 291 331 and 401 were good engines for what they were, BUT they were overworked and asked to do more than they were designed for and were typically a 100,000 miles engine if you were luck before a rebuild. they were basically made for short hauls, city delivery trucks and small road tractors.

I sent Mike a card, he texted me back, that's about it. was short. I like the 10 dollar idea, don't even care if its 20, but then again I know how some people don't like ''hand outs''

Trying to remember but I think the pic of my b613t was taken at Springfield mass. The quadratic truck makes me sick. Saw it working in NYC the next pic I see the nice chrome radiator shell is missing

interesting how many of the B61sx's actually had the big b80 series front axle. I'm thinkin the black one in the 1st picture might have been a Highpoint garage truck at one time also? I know he had one with a 285 and a hood scoop

I always thought that truck was tacks green . I remember someone talked to George and he said the front fenders were the worst but he did an excellent job. they look proportional, wish I had his drawings or dimensions.

there are variences. ie trucks that sat around in dealer lots, but 59 was the change in radiator shell, 60 they went to circuit breakers instead of glass fuses,59 the wiper motor went outside, 59, the junction box for back cab wiring went on the back driver side cab corner instead of the inside frame rail, the bumper brackets got changes the the style with the angle iron instead of the pipe spacer, 59 was also the year the frame crossmembers changed from the two hole design to the one hole in the middle and the air horns got moved off a pedestal and mounted directly to the cab. 62 was the year the radiator crossmember got changed to the 5 hole design to the two hole design, the door hingecover plates got ommitted, 64 the maplights got changed to the R model style over the back window instead of the two porceling single lights,62 brought on the got aweful push button signal light switch and 64 brought on the key starter switch.

59 was the grille shell change. most every 59 had the shell along with fuses and 60 had circuit breaker with the new style shell. 59 was also the year the crossmembers changed from the two holes to the one center hole with the tabs for pipe clamps, the air horns went from a pedestal to just solid mount along with the bumper brackets having the pipe tube spacer to the welded in angle iron spacer for the bracket for the tow hook.

59 was the year the shell was changed and you could just remove the shell to get the radiator out instead of the shell and headlite panels. after around 61 Mack cheapened up the doors, fenders and shells and made them thinner.

I have about aa half dozen of those crossmembers in my pile if youd like one.

Honda ridgeline and even tho I'm a diehard gm guy, the avalanche are possibly the ugliest and least useable vehicles I have ever seen

yup, cracks were not an original option... they get worse with age, and sunlight. I have even seen a few nice original wheels that weren't that bad, get worse on a restored truck that is driven regularly. maybe possibly the excellent pavement surfaces we have in our infascruture lately

really looks like one of George's trucks. Tacks green one was someone elses before to I think before Tacks. you can pic George's out cause of the fender curves I think and why do I think that red one with the sleeper was white at one time????

yup def a B53 but I agree Paul most I ever saw with the floaters had fender lips

nice trucks. is the blue one the one you just bought? or were you the one selling it? either way I liked that truck. nice survivor

my triplex back box shifts hard til its warm to. usually takes 15-30 minutes to get some smooth shifting out of it. greasing the fittings and rods wont hurt either

steel or glass nose DM? seems I have heard a lund visor wont fit a steel nose DM cause the hood hits it when its opened

Id like to see some underhood pictures of this elusive Detroit put in a B model.

Matt Pfahl restored it for the owner... same guy owned them all, an H633, H67 and a green B61. we all know his name but no one can spell it...
