Popular Post jaysm35a2 Posted August 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2013 Sometimes it pays to get lost looking for a trailer im suppose to pick up.Passed a junk yard and spotter the H roof over the fence. The body is in great shape. The tag axle was bolted on , I don't see any junky welds that hurt it from taking that off and making it original. He asked why in the hell would I want that old thing , and he said he wanted to cut it up for scrap. He "cant sell it as a truck" , but , it could be bought as a truck as I walked away his mind changed. Anyone interested that would want the info and would restore it ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTFormula Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Looks like a solid unit. Good candidate for restoration. Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mackwww.jtresto.com www.wickedreputation.netwww.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 who cares about the drivetrain. any Mack engine, tranny and rear will go in there. look at that cab and doors! that's the most solid H model I have ever seen in a junk yard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysm35a2 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 That's why I wanted to post it here so it gets saved because of the body. its not like he's going to cut it up anytime soon but its just something that will get cut up some day. The other earlier H model I found in Denver's cab is pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTFormula Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 At least he has the motor and Trans and its inside his shop not getting water logged. I don't see why that's a problem.

mike69mackman Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Dang someone needs to grab that! I agree Jt that motor and trans out of the weather would make that a complete resto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I wondering if that tag was not factory built? I know of another H like that with the same type set up. You adjusted the arm to one of the two spots to adjust the amount of weight that was put on the tag. Bet it was a real bugger in the snow since you couldn't dump it off easliy.I'm guessing a lowboy truck with the ramps going up to the fifth wheel plate area.
