Popular Post Superdog Posted May 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2015 I got everything loaded on my friend Howard's trailer for the ride to York,PA this a.m..sold this vintage Double Eagle sleeper to a guy on another forum.I dug thru this mess to find this hood to send Matt,anyone ever wonders why sometimes it takes me along time to find stuff,this trailer is one of 12 now,plus my barn and a couple other small buildings that I have my "neatly organized" inventory of stuff. stored in.Then I helped my friend,truck hauler,and Sunday breakfast cook Larry take his B475 to another friend's place to get some brake work done to it. Picked up this really nice Morgan sleeper there at Phil's. He used to be head mechanic at the former Nelson Trucking Service,and saved this off a wreck 23 years ago.He decided it was time to pass it on.to me.He also has this taking up space in his barn,told him I'd try to help him sell it,it was a running 20's vintage Chevy engine,with transmission and radiator,made into a portable power plant,he used the head & a few other small items for restoring Nelson Trucking's 1927 Chevy truck.Last but not least,I decided to tinker with the R wrecker and see if it would start, true to old Mack form,put in new batteries,cleaned the posts,primed the pump and it fired like I just shut it off.accelerator pedal is froze up and the clutch was stuck at first,but a little more tinker and I had it moving under its own power. Ol' 237 sounds sweet out of dual straights.They had had the interior fixed up pretty nice,but 15 years in a junkyard has slightly taken its toll,it should clean up pretty good,though, 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 He does mine too! He even organizes it that way when it was mostly moved to Virginia!

Freightrain Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I saw it wed evening when I got there. Then Thurs morning someone was unloading it. That is when I talked to the buyer and they said it was already sold. I told them I was looking for something to replace my now wrecked bunk(from the day before).
