Popular Post teleman Posted November 10, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2012 Ive been working on her trying to beat the cold weather....got the fenders on today and was able to drive her about 3 miles to my sons shop where shes going to stay for the winter...what a blast.....drove and shifted fine but from sitting all those years the tires were more square than round and of course the local cop was sitting up the road and here I go flying by with no lights,turn signals,no flaps so the only thing I could do was to wave at him and smile...looked in the mirror and was glad to see him still sitting back there.... maybe in the spring I can look for some other tires but man was that fun...Jim 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28270-my-mack-was-on-the-highway1st-ride/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
