Other dog,never heard of the gout being anywhere but the feet.I’m by no means a doctor,but is he sure it the gout.Justa side note my mom had surgery on her eye and she complained about it for close to a year that it felt like something was in it,the surgeon keep telling her it was nothing,she see’s his partner and he said she had an in grown hair pull it out and no more problems.

I wonder what this great country will be like in the next few years?

Tjc,I can only hope you’re right.

Yes,I do know a fellow by the name of blackie,he works for Jack rich.

Enough said,take the plunge.My only suggestion would be to try and get something a little newer.Unless you really know the history of the truck,you may be buying a pig with a whole lot of perfume spayed on.Good luck my friend.

The more I think about what you are planning on doing the more I’m gonna say don’t do it.You are talking about using a antique for every day use.Unless you are a mechanic or at the very least very mechanical you may be in for more than you bargained for.If you are using it for a site truck it won’t be as bad,but if you are going to be pounding down the highway all day you better be prepared to be under it quite often.It’s tough to crave out a living with a new truck let alone a 25 plus year old truck.Down here in Philadelphia the going rate for a triaxle is around $90.00 hr.Do the math.Driver going to cost $20-25 or more hour,insurance $7500 year,tires.I was going to buy a new Mack $190,000 plus put it in my daughter name for the minority business.Now mind you I have all the connections so the truck will work,I did the math and it doesn’t work.Sorry if I piss in your cheerio’s but you know all the facts.

I am going next week to look at 4 b models that are going to scrap.Will check them out and get pictures.

I am going next week to look at 4 b models that the owner wants gone,like in scrap.I think one is a single axle tractor,one is set up as a water truck tandem,one as a tandem dump,the last I think is a tandem tractor.I believe them to be all b61’s.One owner,don’t know if they run,they did run when they were parked.I will be looking to see if they have power steering which I think they may have,anything else you may want me to check on?Can anyone put me in touch with Kevin All I see his name a lot when people are talking about parts.Will get pictures.

Give me a call 21five 669 one two52,talked to my son.

I will ask my son to keep his eyes open,Will let you know.

I’ve been in the construction business all my life,it was a family thing.Just remember dump trucks go past the curb.Once they leave the blacktop school out.By that I mean it not a smooth ride anymore.All the twisting and bending start.We had 15 79 dm600 triaxles that were built like brick shit houses never had a problem but we spec them the way we wanted.Check the frames and cross members for any cracking and splitting.As long as the motor does have excess blow by just run it.You can always do a rebuild before you put it to work.Just my 2 cents worth.I would not look at anything other then a Mack.My son sell used trucks for the the local Mack dealer here in Philadelphia,Pa.Where are you at,will tell him to keep a lookout.

If you have any left I will take one.I wish you great luck and a speedy recovery.

Is this the harness that I’m talking about?I found it in my old stock.Checked my truck and it doesn’t have the ground wire I’m talking about.

I have notice that if I leave it sit to long the batteries go dead.Going to make sure the ground is good.If that doesn’t take care of the problem then I move onto the heater switch,it seems that it shut off after about 10 minutes of running.

I have a 79 r model,and was wondering if it needed that ground wire that went from the starter to the frame?I can remember them always getting broke.Tks.Mike Durkin.

Tks.

This election was Trump’s to lose.After that first debate I started saying he was going to lose.He did a great job for the country,but his ego got the best of him.I voted for him both times,why he couldn’t just let his policy do all his talking.I truly believe he woke up every morning thinking how he could piss off the Democrats.Just by the things he was doing for this country would have been enough to piss them off.Just my 2 cents worth.The Republican are going to have to come up with one hell of a candidate for 2024.We can only hope grandpa Joe and spread eagle foul things up so bad that this country comes to it senses.

My b87 has been in the family since new,dad brought it back in 64.It was used to pull one of the lowboys,we already had a 58 b87.I started the restoration of it and got it just about done,then realized I didn’t like how it was turning out well with that said ,I pulled it back into the shop and started over.Haven’t had the time to really get it done.Here’s a picture of before I started.

Yes.

I can only hope my b87 turns out that good.

The fellow that was wearing the raccoon outfit was supposed to be a friend of Nancy pelosi son in law.There’s a picture he took of himself and the raccoon man floating around.

Do you happen to know the code #.Tks.

Which brand of paint did you use for the interior,it looks great.

That interior shot make me think of the 67 r model we had,we had it set up as our fuel truck.

Happy New Years to you Rob and everyone on this site.2021 will be better then the last.
