  1. A rust free and uncut Bronco is a rare find! For some $$$, you can get a new tub for your classic rig. https://www.wildhorses4x4.com/product/17949/Bronco_More_Steel_Body_Parts https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2012/11/07/dynacorn-introduces-reproduction-bronco-body/
  2. A local fellow bought a Diamond Reo with an oem installed air cooled Deutz and ran it in his tipper fleet. Don't have a picture of the exact truck but it looked like this one.
  3. Not sure on the second plate and I don't have a 45 VIN plate to look at. Here is a fire truck model 25 VIN plate. Sort of hard to see but first box is 25 and the lower box is 25 S 1003.
  4. Timing mark is on the engine flywheel. Should be a little swing door on the bellhousing near the starter that will open. 4 degrees BTC is the spec. With Pertronix, let them know if you are going neg or pos ground.
  5. The new version is on the way but nothing better than the original style.
  6. Mike, do you still have the super shiny black Cruiser or did you send it down the road?
  7. Boy! Talk about a day at the beach! Even brought a caravan with him
  8. I really don't know much about the LH model. Built between 1940-1953, they did seem to be set up for highway hauling out west. I haven't seen one with an integral sleeper or running on spoke wheels. There may be a sleeper out there or spokes, just haven't seen it. Power was a Mack EO 519, Mack 707 or Cummins. Also seem to be tandems which is why I asked if the VIN was LHSW. SW and 2D indicate tandem rear suspension. Wish I had more info for you. Have fun with your project!
  9. What sort of things did they experiment with?
  10. The stand looks good! OTC has some nice stands for heavier engines but I don't recall one that looks like a pallet jack. What project is the Cummins going to be installed in?
  11. Seen them on fleabay once in awhile. Pricing has been all over the place.
  12. Here is a link where it was listed for sale. Over 700 EJ models were built in 1937 and 1938.
  13. Like the truck and the steam locomotive on the side of the hood.
  14. Cal Little must have bought another storage trailer!
  15. Buying a 'Liner with a V8 already under the hood will save you from many headaches.
  16. That would look good next to your H model!
  17. Hope it is still out there. I will keep my four eyes peeled.
  18. Not familiar with that axle but I would look for an additional fill plug. Dual reduction? I would think the capacity should be more in the 14 qt range.
  19. Nice! Mack built 822 LH models. Was the truck originally a tandem tractor? On the VIN tag, does it say LHSW or LH2D?
  20. Sorry about that. Mack CF 11 and 12 are a fine looking pair.
  21. Thanks Vlad. I like going to shows and taking pictures. 11 and 12 were at a show in Scituate, RI in 2001.
  22. A new plan is hatched! Update with progress when you can.
  23. Here is a little more info on the Mack Granite. https://www.macktrucks.com/community/mack-news/2014/goodyear-chooses-mack-granite-to-moor-blimp/ http://www.nussgrp.com/news-and-events/goodyear-blimp-travels-lean-thanks-to-nusss-modified-mack-truck/ http://ecspartners.com/
