  1. Thanks for the info. I'll be at the Mack Museum on Thursday. I'll see if I can find out more. Is there a possibility it is for sale? It is to far away from me evetif it is. Mike.
  2. Pretty neat stuff. The first three GAZ look like Studebaker cabs. I had read an article about their use in Russia. The second ZIS has K model IH sheet metal and cab. I am not sure about the fenders. They don't look right. The too ladder trucks look like they have German Magirus ladders. Only a few dozen of them were imported to the US. The last picture looks like it is a US car chassis like a Lincoln converted into a chemical truck. Thanks for posting them. Mike
  3. I believe they were made with soft tops and the cabs were put on when they were in civilian service. They were custom made.
  4. I saw this truck along the road in Great Barrington Mass in 1999. I was with a bunch of non-truck people so this is the best photo I could get.
  5. I've never seen a fire truck like that. I think it is an LMU. Did you get the serial number? That Kenworth would be great to have. Where are they? Mik.
  6. Neat save. What Steve S above neglected to say is that he has an H63. I'm sure he will be a great reference for you if you keep posting on here. Where are you located and are you a member of ATCA? Mike
  7. How about the hat? https://m.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Bruckners-Mack-Dealership-Mesh-Trucker-Snapback-Tan-Khaki-Patch-Hat-USA/152924901956?hash=item239b08d244:g:SngAAOSw00talb2t:sc:USPSFirstClass!19518!US!-1
  8. Great truck. It is in Erv Bickford's museum in Maine.
  9. Nice truck. What is the serial number for the truck. From that we can tell you why the original engine was.
  10. It's on the B model Mack Facebook page. No number posted. It's still listed. He also had two integral sleeper B models in worse shape.
  11. I'd like to buy this but since I am not going to maybe you want it. Seems like a good deal for $6000. In TN. Mike.
  12. I think the last time my LFT was washed was in the 80's. If I wash I would have to wax it and keep it clean. The tanker looks great. I wish I could do work like that. Mike.
  13. I make more money than my truck driving father but I still have it all spent by the end of the month. The old truck hobby is pretty good at burning through it.
  14. Congratulations. Persistence pays off sometimes. It looks great. The dual spot lights are neat. Does it have a bell on the right side too? Are you going to restore it or just get it mechanically sound and run it? If you are not involved in Schuylkill Historical Fire Society you should reach out to them. Mike.
  15. It's a rewarding job most of the time. He has a lot of time to make up his mind. Curiosity will help him to succeed in any profession though. Mike.
  16. My mechanic bought 6 new pistons for EN540 in my Father's B66 from them. They cost $1000 but they were the only decent pistons we could find after a year of looking. Mike.
  17. Very nice truck. Welcome to the forum. There are plenty of answers here. Just not from me. Mike
  18. Tom said it was a good truck with nothing wrong with it and I believe him. I would have liked it but spent all my money last year on the house and junk Internationals. Have fun with it. Mike.
  19. Nice truck. I can't believe it took so long to sell. The price was right. I have seen a lot less for way more. I like the Malatesta trucks too. Mike.
  20. I'm not a truck driver but drove on of those articulating dump trucks at a landfill two summers. I laid the bed over like that when I got the right rear tires off the road. It stopped me dead. It didn't do any damage except tearing a couple wire. They set it back up with an excavator and I was back on my way. Apparently it is common because they called it 'joining the club'. Mike.
  21. I was told it was Volvo automobile and not Volvo Truck.
  22. The poster had not been on since March so he probably won't see this. I don't have an answer for his question but the ENDT864 was available in the R719. A member, Dan Thomas, has one. It was also available in the CF719 which they made 12 of. I have #9. I believe it was also available in other models but do not have the documentation in front of me. I am pretty certain that any truck with the 19 suffix had the ENDT864. The 12 should be for 300 plus, unless it is a newer truck then it stands for tandem axle. I'm not an expert though. Mike.
