Glass shop can cut anything as long as it’s straight. I bought two of them in the San Fernando Valley California years and years ago for a F model . The guy actually had two of them already cut in stock…. Glass shop. Bob -
Well, it went from automatic transmissions to three stick transmissions. I am not sure what the third one was for on that thing I know the older macks had the married box with a two speed browning behind it for top end … bob

Speaking of throwing a bone I wound up with a four day weekend due to internal issues. I am taking care of right now. OK I’m really changing the subject. Where is Joey when you need him ha ha.
-
excellent once in a while in life, you get thrown a bone doesn’t happen very often. Yes I was practicing on my dad‘s cars. He got rid of the Cadillac and bought the LTD through the process, but I actually went to driving school to make sure I had everything right…. bob

It looks like it takes all the manly out of it. You know I’ve been out on the road since 1972 and I can honestly say I have only seen one girl in my life driving a Mack and that was in a video a few months ago.

I think the pick up was a 64 was a four-wheel-drive with a snowplow… bob -
Didn’t realize I put this in the wrong section ha ha oh well somebody might see it
-
Oh, I would’ve thought those things would’ve moved real quick in that area. I would have ran over and grab one of them if they were closer , you could easily get your money back by selling one component. I had an original Mack key years ago my five year old boy at that time took it out and lost it somewhere. I’m still pissed about that. That was almost 35 years ago bob

Yeah baby back at you bud. This is the only weekend my wife will fix me corn beef cabbage. I could eat it almost every night ha ha.. bob

A buddy of mine had a pick up truck just like that in the 70s. I would guess the cab was the same that sure looks like it…. Bob -
Not sure about that. I just thought it was a goofy little car, but it was just a six popper automatic regular hubcaps, but it was a 2 door hardtop like that one.
-
I don’t remember this one must’ve missed it by the photos. They don’t really look bad at all especially the 800 good luck… bob
-
Bubba, I don’t even know where to begin with that one Thanks for that and yes, that does not surprise me signed a very dissatisfied customer right now
-
OK now I’m gonna get balled out for changing the subject. I trained on a car just like this one even in 72. It didn’t look as good as this one does but I remember thinking to myself and this really surprises me at my age now I was only 16. I was looking at that car and thinking what a goofy little bastard 50 years later I think they’re pretty cool … bob
-
It’s to the point now around here I tell people I broke in on a two stick and they just look at me weird they have never even heard of that…. Bob
-
That’s kind of funny because I trained on an automatic car then my first car was a stick as I mentioned. They probably can’t find anybody that knows how to shift anything….. make everybody a truck driver put in an automatic.
-
Also, MD model are popping up pretty heavy around here lately, which is great to see mainly straight trucks real nice looking… bob
-
Hell , somebody asked me a while back if I saw a lot of visions out here and I didn’t even know what model he was talking about. I had mentioned I see a lot of Mack trucks popping up here lately. Was the reason he asked me. I said I did not know. I don’t know one from another I finally had to look up the different models. Mainly what I see out here are anthems and.CH I didn’t realize I was so out of touch with Mack’s granite was the only one I really recognize kind of embarrassing ha ha just thought I would bring that up… bob
-
Yes, that’s the plan. Thanks for that. Doors are a lot easier. To takeoff they are already heavier than shit without the guts…. Bob
-
I think the first time I saw one was in my little town road maintenance dump trucks late 60s. I think they were Rios as far as nowadays they can’t find anybody that could shift a stick…. I understand the DMV here in Nevada if you train on an automatic it states that on your license automatic… bob
-
Sorry, I can’t help. I would not guess there would be much changes at all. Good luck I like your handle….bob
