Ain't that tha truth if i'd ever heard it. As rare as B Models are and for 1m........I just can't understand. Shaking my head mike

Did your Mack get lonely and need to go out on a hunting spree? mike

I had a former wife that told me to use it for my casket. The funeral may be cheaper. mike

Tom, How dare you leave her out in the elements. Looks like she has already been frost bitten. I recall trains had a loop that caught a mail bag when passing a station when the train could not stop. I will send you one so ya can still keep going without stopping for your KW. mike

My luck would be if it looked like my garage door was open, then someone would run into it thinking it would be easy to steal my cars and then sue me for getting hurt on my property. mike

Mark, I guess that brown spot was from sitting in chocolate and or the pollock norm. The joke was how does a pollock put his pants on? Brown spot in back and yellow spot in front. Good luck hiding the spot mike

Not sure also but the round discs are available from WATTS and are about 4 inches in diameter and has a 3/4 bolt size hole in the center. Can you measure your application and show us by photo, what you have? mike

Hey Mark, I would have to install taillights on that Chevy. Ya would not want to get rearended. mike

I guess all of those heaters had the resistor wire, mine also. Nice and healthy looking B Model there bluebonnet. Keep on enjoying it. mike

Glenn, You are da man. It sure is a relief to know you were on short final. I went back to a thread that you talked about your training and looks like you have some skills behind your belt. I have only had a couple of close calls. On takeoff at end of runway 20@ about 800 msl a friend and I was looking south and in cockpit gauges a twin was crossing the south end coming from about 170 degrees and we just did see it in time before a bad mishap. I lowered the nose and he spoke to me but no time for explaining. I still believe the FAA has the better idea as to how an airplane is to approach any busy airport, big or small. Patten altitude @ our field is 1500msl and I feel everyone should stay out of the pattern until they are in the proper approach area, such as downwind, or say 5 mile final with jets. DO NOT CROSS MIDFIELD at anytime day or night. I believe it will keep down further incursions. I wish all pilots would adher to this idea. mike

Right on target Glenn, On aircraft trainers (I call them) a richer mixure is formed by using carb heat. A lever pulled like a choke to send heat to the carb. And yes in aircraft it can ice up on a humid day. In B20Macks situation, if it is not giving trouble then don't fix it. But if you are having issues then send some heat from the exhaust manifold up to your carb. May have to modify a copper tube or plate. I would use some exhaust wrap and that would insulate it from the cold. But when it gets warmer outside then you may want to discard the heat to keep down a vapor lock issue. mike

Man that mudflap needs a good cleaning. Mark can you turn it over and blast the other side?It would take several hours to pressure wash that flap. Good Luck mike

I think OD has taken a photo of the B model before without the for sale sign? mike

Welcome to BMT and hope you enjoy your stay. Sounds like a nice truck, will try and stay calm until photos are available. Hurry up cause 84SuperDog will be on here any minute and want photos also. Regards mike

I do believe it is the front, if we are talking about the cross member in front of the Balancer. mike

He is most likely working until late p.m. at the Mack Shop. Anyway, hope ya have a good Birthday with a couple of warm and sunny days off doing what you want to do. Happy B Day! mike

Staxx should have thrown out a leash and saved tha dog from it's owner. mike

Well.....what about the most important stuff like R Model and SuperLiner goodies inwhich you guys need parts from?Glad you guys had fun. mike

Hey.......I believe I know her. Her face has not changed impressions for years and still looking young. mike

I used with very good results Vintage Engine & Machine Works, phone#208-651-1161 and talked to Mike Mahler. Some BMT members have used Olson's Gaskets with good results also. mike

Thank you David. mike

Rhasler, Can you give out his or an address so cards can be sent to him for a speedy recovery, and his Mack friends and family may send well wishes and prayers? mike

Many Thanks Mack Family. Got mom to the hospital for out patient surgery at 5;45a.m. yesterday. And to my surprise, the waiting room was full of people ready for surgery of all kinds. Got a room at about 7;00a.m. and they took her for prep at 9;30a.m. Surgery took several hours and was out of surgery by 1;00p.m. All went well as a stint was put in a leg for better blood flow. I was glad that I wanted them to put her out with very little, anistisia. She got to go home about 6;00p.m. I'm glad the care provider was there waiting for us. I did not stay long since I was worn out from being up most of the night before. So as I proceed home and about 5 minutes out on the highway, I get an urgent call from the care provider that mom had fallen into the bathtub and had a golfball size knot on her head. I'm thinking (what else is going to happen to her.) So to make a long story short, she is doing fine and thanks all of you guys for the moral support and prayers. Thanking all of you guys! mike

Ok, i've been most of today trying to catchup with the threads. Anyway would have said Happy Thanksgiving if the g/f had been home but not. Mom and I spent Thanksgiving together. Was going to take her to eat at the Cracker Barrel, but got cold feet when I saw the line out on the porch.I could not put her through the long wait. But she and I took a 30 minute ride which wore her out. Just went around the Franklin area and back to her home. She said that it was ok, that she was just satisfied having her son with her on this thanksgiving day. I took her home and fixed us some soup since she liked that. She is having surgery this monday at 6 a.m. and I don't think she will be coming back to her home. So looks like a big decision will need to be made soon by me as to a nursing home or assisted living. All saving funds are almost gone and her home will have to be sold. So i'm just thankful to still have my mom this year for Thanksgiving. To All a Good Holiday and remember your mom's mike

I know ken the highway is a lonely place, but really. mike
