    I have thought about either doing one or have George Sprowl make one up.I spoke with him a few years ago out at the Gerhart show.If I remember right he said he uses a rolling frame from a f350 and then cuts the cab down to fit.I would my truck to be able to maintain highway speeds and have thought about using the drivetrain out of a newer school bus. So my question to all of you is does anyone have a contact number for George.Second question is what do you think about using the rolling frame from a school bus?Thanks for any thoughts.

    I brought a 1956 Ford F600 from the same town,was really surprise with how well the cab held up in that cold weather it had hardly any rust.Looks like the Mack has held up well also.

    Wish I could dig up some pictures of the 1979 U's my dad brought back then.We ordered 20 r models and 15 dm600 trucks.The R's had a longer wait time then dad wanted to wait so the U's were ordered by Ryder trucking and ended up not needing them,so dad scooped them.They were a little on the lightside,they were built for the over road,we used them to pull dump trailers.

    The dash reminds me of the 66 model we had.Tough old girl.

    The last couple of washes I had the pump didn't seem to last very long.I think when this one I have now goes up I will just rent one when I need it.Looking to rent to rent a stream pressure washer now.Gotta clean the shop floor.

    I have been playing around with the idea of making an everyday driver out of one of these old macks.Thinking of changeing out the drive line for something more modern, like one out of a newer IH school bus, with an automatic transmission. Something that would give me better fuel mileage. Then making a pickup bed for it.

    My dad brought 15 of them back in 1979.The only thing I didn't like about them were they had a rough ride.
  13. hicrop10
    We had 2 of them as tractors.

    There's probably more plastic in the windshield wiper knob on the newer trucks then there's in the B model.

    Where about in is this truck?Maybe if you just ask the guy what he wants for it and go from there.

    Wouldn't own anything but a Mack.Been in a family owned construction company for life and never brought any other brand.Dad always said stick with what got you there.

    Great find,will you be getting it up and running?Good Luck

    Looks Great,bet you can't wait to get her out on the rode.The wait won't be long.

    Welcome back hope everything went.I've got a bad back and have been told that the last thing I want is to have back surgery they all say wait till I can't stand the pain.I'm still working for Buckley.

    Believe me trying to reuse a wiring harness is not the way to go.I'm in the middle of redoing my 1964 B87 and have removed the harness and it can't be used over.What I am going to do to have the truck up and running is to rewire it my self.It is not all that bad to do.Good Luck

    I finally found a NAPA store that can make up the paint,the only problem is it about hour away.

    Mike on top of being a true gentlemen, you are a real driver.Spotting a mishap well ahead of you and doing something about it.Gald to hear both you and your truck are ok.

    GreenDash,I'm afraid your right,it's just the can.Dumb question wtf do they think I'm going to do with an empty can? Brain,does S-W put the paint in a rattle can?
  24. hicrop10
    Yes,that's what the fellow told me over the phone.I hope that not just the empty can.I told him I wanted metallic green paint.Will call in the morning.
  25. hicrop10
    Thanks for the quick replies,will check out the price of new ones on Monday.I will have to make up the brackets cause I have the extra airtank.Does anyone know of a truck junk yard, they could have some used ones.
