Tony Ingram Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Tires on the G model are 22.5" by the way. Here's the REO. The REO has been there quite sometime as you can tell by the tree growing up between the grill and bumper. The grandson says he plans on restoring the REO at some point but I hope he atleast cuts down the tree soon. Fortunately it hasn't done any damage other than bending the grill in a tad.

farmer52 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Congrats on the G. The fuel tanks could be leaking between the straps and tank - something to check.

Tony Ingram Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Trust me if I had the room it'd look like Sanford and Son at my place. I see lots of things I'd like to drag home but mama keeps me in check. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30696-g-model-mack/page/2/#findComment-178357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Ingram Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Got the G home yesterday, spent half the day cleaning out the inside. Underneath all the dust and dirt was a pretty nice interior. All the gauges and labels are in great shape. I even found some old emergency road reflectors still in their boxes, two aluminum thermos looking road flare holders full of flares. Cab jack has a bad seal and one of the rams is leaking pretty bad so I couldn't jack up the cab. Gonna pull two rams from my stash to stick on there and hope I have the old jack from my H63 laying around so I can check out what's under the cab tomorrow. Will keep you all updated with what I find. So far so good, I'm impressed with how well this old boy took care of this truck. He definitely took pride in his truck. He was proud to sign over the original title and hand me the ignition key. Hope to hear it fire up soon. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30696-g-model-mack/page/2/#findComment-179526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
