DM897SX Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Are you selling now? I thought you were still in buy mode. I guess that U model pushed you over the edge. They have a tendency to do that.Post a fleet shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul roncetti Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 I want a restored B81, cheaper than doing it from scratch, still checking out trucks, I'm not done yet. If I sell any, I sell them, if not that's ok too. The LI truck out of the whole bunch is the most reliable as far as starting, and not kind of oil, or hydraulic leaks. Just cab needs help and dump body cosmetically. Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul roncetti Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Sean, I know that with the U Models, especially when they have Bell Axles Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Sean, I know that with the U Models, especially when they have Bell AxlesI forgot to ask but when are you sending the bells down for me to weld onto these axles? 1 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul roncetti Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Next week, about mid week 1 Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM897SX Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 What the hell are bell axles? Please don't tell me you are going to weld cone axle caps from 38s or 44s to the flat caps on your truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul roncetti Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 cones should actually bolt up Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM897SX Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 cones should actually bolt upSo, why would you be welding them? Flat axle caps usually indicate one piece as opposed to cone which usually indicates a two piece design. Is the plan then to place the cone ends over the flat one piece axles?

2stacksuperdog Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I dont think they ever made cones that small for the 38s Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM897SX Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 The only point that will make is that he got bad advice and bought a U model and then compounded the error by welding fake axle caps on like a wannabe. Great plan. While your at it, you should stick some E7-460 emblems on it and scribble 14R24.00 on the tires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul roncetti Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 No Sean, they can bolt up over present axle and if I don't like can take them off, no problem. Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM897SX Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Sounds great. You might want to think about taking the same approach with the DM. Just paint RIZZO on the door and you will have the Rizzo truck you have been looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul roncetti Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Tell you the truth Sean I've been thinking of it, but I have to put a bigger cab protector on it and fabricate a new tailgate and fill in the body to make it straight up and down rather than slanted, which is crucial along with the cab protector.

That specific U model of Pauls is in good shape too. So tell me, whats wrong with the U model? Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM897SX Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Stop playing stupid games. Even though they are the cheapest, lightest and ugliest conventional Mack has probably ever produced I didn't say U models are a mistake. If that's your thing, more power to you. What I said was he made a mistake in buying it and the fact that he is even considering the fake axle cap "fix" proves even he knows it deep down.3 B81s, a DM800, constant talk about a "Rizzo truck" and then this? Come on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdog2 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I advised him to buy this truck. Its in very good condition for its age and is a lot more driver friendly truck to bring his other trucks to shows and so on. 2 Quote Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKrois Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Paul- I just talked to the producers of the show Intervention, they should they might have time to help you now that you've obviously lost your mind.
