David Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Found this gem at an auction today. Even says Mack on the the hood. Thinking about running it through the dishwasher when my wife is out of sight. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26995-auction-find/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

stev Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 if you want to preserve the potential value, i would not put it in a dishwasher . . . . . if i have learned anything from watching "pawn stars" it is that trying to clean up old things causes the value to go way down. just keep it as it is and enjoy it . . . .
