jackb61sx Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Trailer all done with the painting. Painted it with Rust Bullet primer after it got sand blasted and finished with Rust Bullet Gloss Black. Got all new LED lights and decided to put oak decking down the middle to close it in. New tires coming put the tube type radials back on it just need to paint the rims, got them all primed over the weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44156-latest-pickup/page/2/#findComment-333563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackb61sx Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 No trailer stays out. But with the excavation work done I gained a large flat area beside the barn to park the trailer here at the house. The barn will only house the two trucks. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44156-latest-pickup/page/2/#findComment-333569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Trailer all done with the painting. Painted it with Rust Bullet primer after it got sand blasted and finished with Rust Bullet Gloss Black. Got all new LED lights and decided to put oak decking down the middle to close it in. New tires coming put the tube type radials back on it just need to paint the rims, got them all primed over the weekend. Just be careful working with those rims and tires. Remember what happened to me last year with an old tube type rim rusted to the breaking point.

thomastractorsvc Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I would just buy two 17.5 tubeless for spares and as you go through tires replace them. The rims are like $75 from the tire store here locally and unless someone gave you some if you end up buying you would probably spend that much anyways 2 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Popular Post jackb61sx Posted June 10, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2016 Finished up the trailer today for the trip south next Thursday. Put the new tires back on, had 8 new tube type Double Coins mounted and the rims all painted, now I need to get the Superliner cleaned and checked out for the run. So attached are what I started with as my wife called it " the pig without lipstick" to a " pig with lots of lipstick" 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44156-latest-pickup/page/2/#findComment-336116 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackb61sx Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Paul the barn is in a holding pattern, my barn is running about 3 wks behind schedule, I was suppose to have it up by the end of June, now I am being told not till the end of July. Was not happy with that, now when the B-61 comes home from Mack Museum I will need to store it in the warehouse with the other truck till its done. I did get to park my truck next to it to get a feel for how it will fit, tight as I thought front to back but lots of room between trucks, Barn originally for just the Superliner so it was to be 36x24 but my father told me to go bigger because the B-61 was going to be mine in the future so I went to the 30x30 size to stay at or under 900 sq feet or anything bigger opens up a hearing and my neighbors opinions or voice to stop it. So I took what I could get by code from the building inspector with no neighbor input. On a bright note my oldest daughter gave me my first wall art for the barn, a nice Mack sign.
