Vladislav Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Never thought a H63 might be so tiny Good luck on quick getting the load.

Popular Post Superdog Posted October 17, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2014 my phone don't do the pics much justice,for sure.My buddy Larry did a good job working this load in for me. He's hauled a quite few trucks for me,always does a great job,he goes all over,all I gotta do is tell him what I got and where and he finds something going out and usually a partial coming back to keep the cost down for me.He was in Texas,found a load to MN within a hour of the R795,picked up a JD tractor up there close by that would fit on the load headed back to within a hour of the H63 I've had hiding up there since Dec.It was in good hands so I wasn't worried about it going anywhere but I wanted to get the R795 home ASAP. He bought this '97 CH new,all Mack,427,13 speed and Mack rears,put 1.8 million on it with having the pan or heads off,original clutch too,first of the year he put a new reman in it. 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37404-headed-for-home/#findComment-263564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 All the trucks look good and it sounds like Larry has some excellent broker connections.

Popular Post Superdog Posted October 18, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2014 They are home,gonna unload in the a.m. Reached in and barely touched the key and the old 325 V8 hit right off and purred. I hate buying off pics,but I'm real pleased,it was described well. Even has really good tires,all 10:00Rx20,Michelins on steer at 80+%,4 matched traction caps on tag about the same,and 8 matched caps on drives that are at least 60%. Radio even works.. Has a little rust to touch up and a couple minor hood cracks. All I can see as an immediate need is a new bumper.I think I'll leave the Western grille.The cab on the H63 is really solid,but it's going to need some repair. It has it's share of dents,but the floor is excellent,fenders and steps are solid,and it has all it's important parts.It was a Kansas truck,came to Iowa about 6 years ago. Hasn't run in along time,but as few and far between as they are around here,I'm tickled to death with it. It does have a IH rear end that has been swapped in,for road speed I'm guessing,that will most likely have to go. 14 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37404-headed-for-home/#findComment-263584 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do some local stuff here in Kanas City with her for you if you want.that would be a good deal,especially if you got it looking as good as yours while it was down there.It's going to be at least 3 weeks before I can get the EH home,his work schedule was really heavy and wouldn't be around to load it. I think we are going to go out with a big gooseneck to pick it up.
