I got this G73LT in 2015. Ray hauled it down from New England for me. I am finally getting around to working on it. The Cummins was bad and the previous owner scrapped it. I found a 220 Cummins for it and am going to have it put in. I have been stripping things off the chassis, getting it ready to be blasted and painted before it is out back together. All four of the rear aluminum spring hangers are cracked. Does anyone know it steel hangers bolt right on? I am also looking for some parts. I could use a new cab lock. I need the exhaust and air cleaner setup that is specific to a G mode. I might have found a battery box, but am not certain. I need a headliner but doubt I will find it. Thanks. Mike.

We can't get my H613 to hold air in the starter tank unless be drain the brake tank. What are your plans for that H67? Mike.

I plan to be there. Probably will drive a GMC and not a Mack.

I think I saw this truck for sale somewhere on the net.

There is a tandem axle H67 for sale in Boyertown Pa for $2500. It is pretty rusty and hasn't run in an unknown time. I can get you the number if you want. Mike

Thanks. I'm too cheap to have something shipped that far.

Where is it?

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.

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

I believe they were made with soft tops and the cabs were put on when they were in civilian service. They were custom made.

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.

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.

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

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

Great truck. It is in Erv Bickford's museum in Maine.

Nice truck. What is the serial number for the truck. From that we can tell you why the original engine was.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
