TommyZ Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I was sent a link by a buddy to check something out here, and even though I lack a bulldog in my collection at the moment...I felt compelled to come join the party. I really need to find a Mack that I can have around soon, and I will!Right now though, it's component trucks until then.Thanks for the good site here!Tommy Z.Iron Mountain Iron & Equipment, LLCIron Mountain Towingironmountainiron.com 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34905-new-guy-to-bmt-from-so-vt/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any pics of the A'cars on my PC right now...I gotta send some off my cellphone to this thing, and re-post those I guess.Missing the Transtar? Well, kind of I guess I have to admit, but it morphed into a W900A, so that was a nice transition really.No worries, I have 2 more Transtars in my crosshairs for the springtime, so hang onto yer hat.

Popular Post TommyZ Posted March 5, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2014 I guess I shoulda started an album in the gallery maybe for this?Anyways, here's a couple more of my mouse condominiums here.1963 Autocar A64B (A stands for aluminum) with an NHC 250 Cummins, 9513 speed, 4:33's on Hendrickson, pulls a 1966 Fruehauf 15 ton lowbed to as many shows as we can make during the season. This truck drives beautifully for a 50 year old gal. Rust free; all aluminum cab, hood, doors...I went down to Mass. last July 2013 and brought the 63 home. I had to disassemble the treadle valve and free the plunger up, ended up rebuilding it in the weeds with a new kit. Singled out one inside tire as it was blown, so I r&r'd it and ran it home that way. A little exhaust work, some severe mouse removal and debris from them, some shining up and she made her debut in Bellows Falls, Vt.The two together July 4th, 2013. The other's a 1972 S64B. This is Detroit powered with a 318, also a 9513 speed, 4:11's on Hendrickson. I brought her home a few months prior to the 63, just because I couldn't drive both by myself. I terrorized the roadways that day, as the muffler was missing so we cobbed together enough 5" pipe, flex and bailing wire to make some smoke and mouse debris go up instead of out the elbow.This old gal is kind of special, as I just remembered watching a few Autocars with 318's and short dump trailers going up the road and always wanted one ever since.I'm working on this one, she needs a little TLC in the floor, have a set of doors to put on...and I have a Freightliner Airliner suspension that most likely will be mated up to this one and stretched a bit. Should be a looker when she's all done.I ran it up and down the road that day in this pic, but not without incident. I mowed the exhaust off on both sides and it's just straight pipes off the manifolds facing backwards, but still under the cab corners. About 1.5 miles from the house, unbeknownced to me, the exhaust heat melted the plastic air lines going to the maxi's at 50 mph and she came to a very abrupt stop. Luckily I had a piece of aluminum that I used to deflect the exhaust away from the lines, and I backed the maxi's off and got back to the safe haven without any confrontations with Johnny Law.Yes, I can still be stupid when I try. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34905-new-guy-to-bmt-from-so-vt/#findComment-235826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
