  1. ya,,like rob says,there,,its not really very commen,or nessesary,my personal feeling is to keep on truckin,if you have got a rebuilt engine,,truck is not that old,change things as they go out,,listen for howling,or whining in the driveline as you go along,change oil in transmission,and rearends,suggested by mack.watch for shavings.other than that,your throwing your money away,,like last time i checked,mack bogies,were $3500 a piece,exchange,rebuild box $900...good luck....bob
  2. also,41 chevy,,my neighbor just sold a tractor,like you have in the picture,,dont know much about it,but it was a cat,and and it had a crank starter,surprizeingly,,i watched him start it one time in 2 pulls,,very impressive...bob
  3. sorry about the delayed reaction,,big dog,,i just noticed it now..but i think that one fellow,said it all,if your not looking for a hat,or chrome goodies now days,,they dont seem to notice you,,,also who wrote the law,you have to take care of call ins,ahead of walk ins,,they think nothing of leaving you stand there staring at them,while they jibber jabber on the phone,,then they huff and puff,when all you need is a couple of valve cover gaskits,hehe...bob
