39 Baby Mack

Great pictures Vlad, thanks for posting. It was a pleasure meeting Rene and Leon. Ron

Ken, I kind of figured that I shouldn't have said that, but what the hell, it's all in good fun. I always looked at it this way, if your picking on me then your leaving someone else alone!! Ron

In the past of I've had a lot of people look at my truck and say "That's a nice Mack Junior" I usually thank them and go on to explain that it's not a Junior. The Juniors were built by REO and this an "ED" The "ED" being the smallest truck actually built by the Mack Co. etc. etc. etc. Now I have some great pictures to take to shows to explain the difference! They used to be referred to as a "Baby Mack" in advertisements, which I like. People can call them a "Baby Mack", that's fine with me. People can call them a Mack Junior and that bothers me a little, but I usually kindly explain the difference. If you really want to get on my bad side you can do as two people have done in the past. Call it a "Mini Mack", sends shivers down my spine!!! Ron P.S. The one guy who did this was our neighbor down at the shop, I explained, that it was called a "Baby Mack" But he always referred to it as a "Mini Mack", pretty sure he did this on purpose, just to get a rise out of me. It usually worked! 1937 Mack Junior pick-up and 1940 Mack "ED"

The "RL" just barely fits under T-94! Ron

I'd say you're one step ahead Matt! Ron

Come on Ken, didn't you have any white metric wire with numbers on it!! Don't ever ask me to work on it, the wiring diagram doesn't mean Shit anymore!! Ron

Shouldn't be too hard to fix, butt connectors and heat shrink. Hope that's all the damage they did, now to keep the little F------S out!!!! Ron

Try getting in touch with John Chalmers for gaskets for your 864 He is located in Cashtown, PA Phone number (717) 334-8709 Let the phone ring at least ten times Ron

The head gaskets for an END(T) 864 are only for an 864. END(T) 864, 865T, 866T and E9 heads only cover two cylinders. The heads on END(T)673 and ENDT675 cover three cylinders. Ron

Ken, Yesterday when we were talking I said something about the connector/junction block located on the R.H. side of the dog box(on the outside). Because yours is a'92 with VMAC it would have that connector/junction block. The more I think about it I think this is only for the VMAC ECM and Bosch fuel control modules. I can't remember for sure, but I think if you pull the floor mat you'll see screws holding the dog house padded cover to the floor. If you remove these screws and look in the corner where the dog house meets the front of the cab I think you'll see where the wires come into the cab. This is only a suggestion (it's been a long time) I've been behind the that padded cover on the older ones before (that's where the wires for the heater/AC unit run) and I think that's where your headlight wires run too. Your truck is going to be a little crowded down where the kick panel and floor mat meet the front of the truck because this is where the control modules are located. Hope this helps. Ron

Are you talking about this little guy, looks like he's already got trucks in his blood! Ron

Great pictures, thanks for sharing! Ron

Great Al, see you there! Ron

Lord willing and the creek don't rise! Ron

Sorry to hear about the pump Al. Sorry i didn't get to talk with you when I saw you on Friday! No matter what, just never enough time to see everybody you want to. Hope to see you at Gerhart's with or without the Superdog, but hopefully with! Ron

The camera was giving my daughter Katie a hard time and unfortunately she missed the beginning of the parade. It finally started to work when we on the second lap. I don't know how many more trucks were in the parade that she might have missed, but like you, I thought it was a little lighter than last year. Ron

Here's this year's Parade of Power at Mack Trucktoberfest. Was a terrific show as always! Thanks again to all the folks at the Mack Museum, Mack Trucks, Inc., the A.T.C.A., A.T.H.S., and S.P.A.A.M.F.A.A.! Ron

Great pictures Randy, Thanks for posting! Ron

Congratulations Leslie, Make sure you have a name tag on at Gerhart's so we know who you are! Ron

You beat me to it Jim!!! Of course it took me a little longer to find a picture!! Ron

Wasn't it also used on the "EB" and "EC"? Ron

Linda and I will be there. Ron

Batter up Mike, make it a home run! Ron

That old H model looks familiar Tom! Ron

Not to my knowledge, at least I've never seen one. Ron
