  1. Great work. No surprise that it has soma battle scars.
  2. The fire version of the twin turbo 864 supposedly has 350 horsepower, too.
  3. Thanks for the photos. Is the LJSWX a complete truck? If so, are you selling it whole?
  4. My 1972 CF719 came with a twin turbo 864 V8 and a 2 speed automatic Spicer. It was such a piece of junk the fire company considered junking it but then had the spicer replaced with an Allison. Mike
  5. How about photos of the L models? Thanks
  6. I used the same electric fuel pump from Napa on a 707 too.
  7. Where are you located? My father has some springs in parts he bought a few years back. We are near Macungie.
  8. I would check with Chicago corvette. I got. Rebuild kits from them. Don’t remember if I got one for an EN540 or not. We usually put electrics fuel pumps on. Mike
  9. There was rust through above the cab and elsewhere. Still a great price for someone who wanted a nice project.
  10. I called the guy about it. The previous owner was installing a newer Cummins but never finished. There is rust on the cab. Big project, but pretty low starting price. It would be well worth it if you could do the work yourself. Mike
  11. I can look the next time I am near it. It is in my father’s garage.
  12. Nice. I’ll have to call about this. mike
  13. I put a carter electric fuel pump on my 405A. It works great. What is your serial number. Mine is 405A1002. Mike
  14. Send me your number and I will try to send you photos of my father’s truck.
  15. I’m told the repair is to cut out the bad peice of steel and rebuild it like it was originally. I would think someone on here has done it. Maybe someone else will chime in. Nice truck.
  16. There is a piece of steel imbedded in the fiberglass that provides support to bolt the hood to the hinge. Even in the best cared for trucks, the steel rusts and damages the fiberglass. If it gets bad enough the hood can fall off. That is likely what they were trying to fix with the metal bolted one. let’s see some pictures of the whole trucks. mike.
  17. While I not expert, I know may people that consider the MH the best cab over ever built. I have one from a company that ran 8 or so of them. They loved them. Mine is an 85 with a 300 and a 5 speed. It has 1,973,000 miles on it and still runs great. I wish Ron Smith would chime in here. It was his family’s truck. this truck looks great to me. The cab is not fiberglass it is some fancy composite. It might be hard to find cab parts. The grill is the hardest to come by. Otherwise, just regular Mack parts.
  18. I could use some MH grill parts if you have enough to go around. Thanks
  19. My father says his B85 fire tractor with no ladder gets 4 mpg. It has a 707 gas job and a 5 speed. Mike
  20. The model A looks tiny on the G model. If you need room I’ll take the G off your hands. Mike
  21. The B20 cab is not smaller. It has a smaller engine and lighter suspension. Mike.
  22. Are you finally done with this? It sure took long enough. Now what am I going to read before bed? What’s the next project? I could bring a G73 up. It doesn’t need nearly as much work. Luckily that Coca Cola LJ isn’t done yet. I can live vicariously through him. Mike
  23. The H613 was an H61 with a turbocharged 673 diesel. No other H61’s were built with turbos. They were all H613T’s, single axle tractors. The sole survivor has bees repowered with a naturally aspirated 673 so it’s basically an H61 now. Mike
  24. One of the 3 H613’s built for Ralph G Smith of West Chester PA has survived.
