This is what the boots looked like in an H-67 Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

You still have the frame don't you? Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Michael, the frame in your truck should be a little bit easier to fix, if memory serves me, yours originally had two rubber bellows type boots in it. The later ones were made out of a canvas material and were one piece all sewn together for the two sticks . Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

235/75R17.5 tubeless or 9R17.5 tubeless on 17.5 x 6.75" rims is basically a direct tubeless replacement for the old 8.25x15 tube type tires. Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Greg If you ground the wire on the sending unit (the one on the terminal) with the key on the fuel gauge should go all the way to full. If it does that should tell you that the gauge and wiring are allright. Also check to make sure that the ground wire to the tank is good (the wire going from the chassis to the sending unit attached to one of the mounting screws of the sender) If all that checks out it's the sending unit. As for the tach it could also be the cable itself. I know that sounds strange how would it work and stop and then start working again. A lot of the original Mack cables came with different slip on ends for the drive end. This allowed them to be used as RPM cables or speedometer cables by length. All you had to do was use the right tip on the drive end. These were made to slip into the cable and the cable core was swedged sguare so the tip could drive it. I've seen them wear there and slip in the lower tip. This would cause the tach to act up. I personally never liked them and used to make my own cables using Stewart Warner or S.S. White parts. That way both tips were swedged to the core. Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Is there any kind of isolation between the top exhaust brackets and the cab? I didn't see any. Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Greg Have you looked at Lifetime fenders, they're now owned by Betts. They were the people that used to make the monogramed Mack quarter fenders. Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

We had a few cam problems. I thought the real problem wasn't so much the camshafts being soft but that the hardened wafer would come off the lifter. Once that happened that's when the lobe on the cam went.Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

It's an 864 allright. Later style intake manifolds (no place for the balance tube). Wonder what kind of pump is on it?Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Does anybody know if it still has the 864 in it? Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Great pictures Tommy, thanks for posting.Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Long gone now Michael!#36 which was a BM that our Grandfather drove was the last one we had. It was basically intact until the mid to late 60's when the kids in the neighborhood started vandalizing it. They at one time actually set it on fire. Made our Father sick to say the least!

I always thought it was a factory branch Randy, but I'm not sure. The ones at 42nd & Woodland and later on York St. were for sure. At the one on York St. I used to do the same thing. The branch manager would give me a big manilla envelope so I could put brochures in it (was a good way of keeping me out of his and Pop's way!) usually one wasn't enough. There were two walls filled with literature. Tried to make sure I got one of each. One visit down there we saw a type 55 firetruck out in the shop. It was from Lakewood NJ and had just came in on trade. Can you imagine what I thought of that, I was probably ten or eleven? On the way home Pop asked me how much I liked that firetruck? I told him how neat I thought it was. He said that's great because we just bought it. That was the first of many firetrucks he bought over the years, some he probably shouldn't have. That firetruck is still around and is now owned by Mike and Mark Yarnall. When I was a volunteer fireman at the Fame Fire Co. #3 we used to have practice on Thursday nights. When we had drafting practice or play "Battle of the Barrel" I'd bring my own firetruck. That '41 Mack would draft better than the '57 Seagrave that was still in service!

I have no idea Randy haven't been down that way for years. Brockways factory branch was at Erie and Castor Ave. Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

AlIf you'd really like to get your's restored, I've always heard good things about Paul's Chrome in Evans City, PA Don Schumaker had his hup caps for his ED done there and they look beautiful. I was kidding with him at Trucktoberfest a couple of years ago. We had the two ED'S parked next to each other and he was talking to my wife with his back to me. I reached down and made like I was going to steal the RF hub cap off of his truck. Linda was smiling funny over in my direction so he turned around and caught me. He just chuckled and said I could take all four them as long as I had $2500 on me. They can supposedly do work on pot metal too like your emblem, they're not cheap but they're supposed to be one of the best. Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Keith Actually if you look at the half dogs on the mirrors they were copied of the original dog. Big ears and pointed tail. You know all of us on here have been staring at these dogs asses to long! Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
