Popular Post Superdog Posted July 20, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2013 Thanks for all the comments,guys.It sure went back together a lot slower than it tore down.The 8 ft. pipe is another temporary, I'm pretty sure when I go to duals I'm going to put miter cuts on,and about a foot shorter.I'm 12'8" now,and have one place I unload at GPC with a 11'8" clearance. Not a big deal,but sometimes when they open it up,you can get out of there an hour or so quicker.Gotta go dig thru the trailers and find a license plate hanger now.It's only 86 today,so maybe I'll only sweat half my ass off. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31791-getting-closer/page/3/#findComment-194948 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rsb502 Posted July 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2013 Im 12.6" to the top of my stacks, they are 96" 6" miters on 6" tight radius elbows, I almost bought the 102's, glad I didnt now. I did the one temporary stack thing on the 84, never got it un temporaried though I kinda liked the look of the one stack Mack after I ran it like that a while. 8 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31791-getting-closer/page/3/#findComment-195383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 If I ever get the cash to paint the 85 I want to use this paint design, just go with the dark metallic blue where the white is and a metallic silver where the green is, the old school stripes on it now are neat but they dont match the body lines and its killin me, oh yeah I have OCD if you havent guessed!should be spelled CDO then the letters are in alphabetical order like they should be, LOL 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31791-getting-closer/page/3/#findComment-195384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 thought I might do a silver roof too to keep down on heat in the summer and match the stripes.

rsb502 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Ya know nobody has ever mentioned I had two left mirrors on the 84, I swapped em out to right and left gold dog mirrors pretty quick after I got it cleaned up and running. Mike did you get a Mack y pipe or generic? I went generic and built my own exhaust under the 85, couldn't stand the Mack E9 5" y pipe pricetag.

Superdog Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 generic,,I've pretty well gotta "customize" it,gonna put a 4" to 5" adapter under the cab and use 5 " elbows,then use 6" pipes,as they fill the cut out in the sleeper better.

rsb502 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Yeah Vinny, the RW went back to the guy I bought it from, the CH to a friend that runs it every day and the Granite to another local company with another friend driving it. 2 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31791-getting-closer/page/3/#findComment-195443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
