    Don't have wiring diagram. You may want to check places like ebay for a Midliner service manual which will be beneficial for other repair work also. Since you are dealing with a hacked wiring harness, I would probably go old school with wiring a low air switch and buzzer. You could get your power right from the battery if needed because with a bad harness, I am sure your are disconnecting your batteries. Power to the low air switch and run wire into the cab for the buzzer.

    Would be great for someone to continue with the restoration. Definitely not many EJ models left.

    The John Casale truck is a model QA and the only QA ever built. The double dog can be done with spare parts.

    Tip shouldn't be a problem.

    I have a truck with those specs on 24.5 rubber and it does 66-67 mph. It will be slightly slower on 22.5 rubber. The trans has a nice low gear and the multiple reverse gears come in handy. R686 (ENDT 676) were 285 HP and then 300.

    Only 63 heavy duty Mack FW models were produced between 1941-1949. FW trucks used modified L model cabs with half doors and canvas side curtain windows.

    Uughhh! That won't buff out... It sure will be fantastic looking when you are done!

    Been awhile since I have seen it but I don't recall it being powered with a 285.

    Both have the sunken floor. If you have access to one that is a better deal than using a B-61 cab.

    Happy Birthday! Ashley is still upset about being jilted at the altar so I said she should go to FLA and do some fishing with you. You interested?

    The A models are generally smaller and lighter than L models and were more of an update/extension of the E models. L models started in 1940 and the A models started 10 years later in 1950. 1950 was also the Golden Anniversary for Mack Trucks. The new Magnadyne engine was introduced for use in the A20, A30 and A40. The larger A models were powered by the established Thermodyne gasoline or a Lanova type Mack END672 diesel engines. The A model had a short run and is sometimes a forgotten model because in 1953 Mack unveiled the B model.

    864 Mack A-54 trucks were built between 1952-1953.

    Might be a good time to chain up.

    Fine looking rig! Slightly off topic, are you running 24.5" rubber in NZ?

    A big dog in the day.

    Air cleaner decal looks pretty good!

    The voices in my head are always fighting.... Lots of possibilities with the truck. How long has it been sitting waiting for 5K?

    The B-61 uses a CA 21 cab and the B-75 uses a CA 30 cab. Beyond what you mentioned, the B-75 has a sunken floor where the B-61 has a flat floor under the driver's feet. I believe the cab mounts are in the same position between each cab style. You could do a quick measure to double check.
