Yes, I was thinking the same thing. At least one of them has gotta be partially standing up and as a grown-up, I cannot squeeze through the passenger side of mine very easily between the door and the smoke stack. It was a lot easier when I was a young teenager.

Oh, I actually got one better. I can remember looking at the first one I ever saw. My dad‘s company bought their first one in 1968 prior to that they had all B models We drove down there to see the brand new truck. The company just got . I think I was only 12.

did you wind up rebuilding the stuck engine????

wow,,,that was excellent,,,i see what you mean,,,that truck got a lotta time in front of the camera,,,great shape,,,it probably wasnt very old in 83,,and yes it does look like a NEMF,,,,thanks for thinking of me,, nice collection of dolls,,,i do go way back in Umodels,,,used to ride with my pop in one,,starting in 69,,i trained on one and i bought one,,,,as far as music,,,im a big fan of pop,,,any year and of course classic country,,,bob

i just sprayed it real good,,,lets see what happens in the morning

this steering box caper is wearing on me,,,ill be glad to finish it and move on to something else

my wifes friend is always bugging me to come to work,at her place awfully tempting all city delivery,no road work,,and they have all MD mack bobtails,,but i keep telling her,,,i dont want anymore stinking jobs

Hey, welcome back, bud. Are welcome back to insanity. I should say glad you got it figured out.

well i was just out there beating on that cap somemore cant get it to budge,,,i even tryed turning the spline,,,,nothing gonna go back out and try spraying WD 40 where ever i can find anywhere it might penetrate,,,uuuuuuurrrrrrrrr

last i checked on 1000,20 tube type thier hard to find and very expensive plus shipping,,,,southern tire mart,,,listed them but when he clicked on them page said all back ordered,,,oh by the way bob,,,,your questions are never dumb,,,and yes most of us are much older,,,,50 years ago,,your tires were on about everything,,,i was working in a tire shop back then and did nothing but 1000,20 split rims,,bob

lol best of luck, bud. Hopefully it just bolts right up.

Wow, you sure got some attention on the tread.. bob

you should be able to swap over to 1122- five tubeless rims there is hundreds of them around that will bolt right onto your hubs

well, I grew up in New England and from what I can remember I did not see a whole lot of them even when they were new, but we did have one lady in my neighborhood that had one

Well, we’re all getting all those senile Tom. I was at the Mack museum and I never saw that R model. They had a lot of beauties in there though.

You know, I couldn’t agree more I don’t think I’ve got anything done except for yardwork past four or five days…. Bob

Right on man nice going nothing moves very fast around here. Just ask TJ ha ha ha thanks for sharing.

Also I have not seen one in years

Haha some hit iron thanks for that tornado sounds excellent

She has been showcased and some videos I didn’t recognize her and that photo. I didn’t think it was the same girl there is a video I saw of her driving an R model. And I was thinking to myself it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a girl drive any Mack in my life, but I did see another lady drive out of the show with the B model dump truck. She wasn’t that young. And again that was the first time I’ve ever seen a girl drive a B model.

well im already hearing about issues in that bill that are not going to fly,,,lets see what happens ,,,,i never thought it was going to pass myself..bob

excellent,,,nice work bud,,,thanks for keeping in touch,,,and yes its alot eeasier to just watch,,,bob

excellent were getting closer,,bob

you know,,,its taken me almost a year to figure out,,,,theres always tomorrow im usually pretty ambitious,,,but when the mrs is here,,,it throws off all my concentration but sometimes i just plain dont feel like doing anything,,,and this messy box job i got going on is not by any means interesting enough at this point to get me racing out there,,,,unconsciously ,i think im brainwashing myself into sitting on the sofa,,,instead of even getting dressed and racing out there like i usually do especially with the body work on the nose,,,ill be alot more anxious to get started on this overgrown nuisance,,,once i get the box completely apart and cleaned up,,,,but thanks for noticing paul...bob

have a swinging time bud and best wishes,,bob
