other dog Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I ordered 5 new cab lights from Watt's Mack last week. They came in a few days and I put them on yesterday.Good looking lights!I took the old rusty ones off and put one of the new ones on and thought they were the wrong lights at first because the bulb was towards the rear and the chrome part faced front. So I put them back in the box to send them back, then I gave Barry a call and told him I needed the ones with the bulb on the other end of the light. He said to just turn them around and the bulb would be in the front, so I did and they worked fine.They fit perfectly and covered where the old lights were exactly, just had to drill new holes, but that's good, you don't want to be using old holes anyway.Crappy old lights-shiny new lights-Then I came home and started slapping up a crude roof over the grill...yes, I know it's not up to code. I didn't buy any of it, it's made of posts and lumber I "accumulated" and had laying around. Got an old plastic tarp on it now, all I need is a couple of roof panels and i'm good.

When I bought it had been gone through and refurbished and was ready to be put back in service hauling concrete. Then the ready mix company was sold, and the new owners didn't want to run equipment that old so they sold all the B-models. I bought it from one of the former owners who had retired and kept this truck for himself. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
