Does that have juice brakes and a tandem hydrovac for braking system set up? Love the colors, the attention to detail and the quality of the work there. That will be an awesome ride when done!

That will be an awesome ride when done![/quote Yes, had all of the brake cylinders redone and the hydro vac rebuilt. I made all of the new brake lines. Body shop did all the paint work. I haven't done much lately since my wife has been sick, but have a retired Mack man who is a good friend that keeps going on it. The whole group has done a good job.

This was our starting point. I spent about a week blasting.

Dave: the truck is looking great ......I can't even find words!......... must admit I'm just a little jealous of all the toys in your sandbox.....and the size of the sand box. Class work that's for sure.

Looks like a pic from the assembly line, 2 more thumbs up for the color.

I hope your wife is feeling better.

Great job I like the blue. What paint and primer did you use on the frame.?

[maint1]

Got the brakes bled today. Hope it's ready for York. Sorry Ed, didn't see your question, don't know what the paint was.

That's looking so nice,Dave. Do you have hubcaps for it?

[maint1]

Missing one but one of the guys thinks he has one. One of the rears had the bell in it, for a back alarm and it is in sad shape.

If you need one,I do have a few decent ones. That style is tough to find.

[maint1]

Got the brakes finished up late last night, hope to be ready for York, still lots to finish on interior, Macgungie for sure.

[Bigdogtrucker]

VERY nice, can't get over how good the blue looks...

[dmlinton]

Your truck looks great! Amazing restoration and an inspiration - makes me want to get started on my B-30.

Set back tonight head gasket leaking, machine shop said they would re-do the head. Clutch was slipping in the LT, it is a push type clutch, adjusted it, will check it out tomorrow. All bad news tonite, had hoped to spend the last month before shows just polishing, want to spend this weekend on the tanker, but it don't look good. Too many projects too little time.Thanks for all your nice comments. Dave

[HarryS]

It really sucks to have a day like that. Hope today is better.
