Thanks, seems to be helping. Some times not so tech savy, lol. Another pic of E-6 mount.

cstaples Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Did you do anything to prevent the rails from rusting for the next caretaker? The best thing I've seen is drill and tap the outer and add grease fittings every foot or so. Then you can pump oil or grease between the rails.

Is there enough space between the rails to get grease to move. Seams like it would work, messy on a hot summer day, but would work.

cstaples Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 It works, the local Mack dealership here has done a few....Certainly is the best way to get the good stuff between the rails! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48171-another-superliner-rebuild/page/2/#findComment-357394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdog405 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 I have heard of that, never have really seen it done though. Have also seen guys silicon the rails to keep anything from getting in, but as I've seen with silicon in other applications , it dries up and comes loose , but I have no intention of running it in the winter, so it should be fine, right ? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48171-another-superliner-rebuild/page/2/#findComment-357416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Do not use silicone type sealants on any type of automotive paints as it will eventually cause the paint to blister. If you want to try sealing it use a body panel seam sealer like these: http://www.eastwood.com/autobody/seam-sealer.html?SRCCODE=TXT00040&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=bing&creative=3321477025&device=c&matchtype=b I would just use a good quality epoxy paint to seal it up. Given the light use the truck will get I don't think it will ever rust out. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

superdog405 Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Update on my progress, all suspension and axles in and plumbed, hoist plate and hitch/light bar done, got air cleaners mounted and hood back on. Primed hood a week ago and had some gun issues, so we wet sanded back done and will be repriming it and priming the cab today. Hope for it to be orange by end of weekend ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48171-another-superliner-rebuild/page/2/#findComment-359719 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Yoos Brothers Construction Posted January 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2017 Looking really good! It wont be the only orange one running around. We've been completely redoing another Superliner up here for several years now for my buddy down in Wexford, Pa. Just realized I've never post picture of it. Anyway your truck is going to look good when you get it painted!

Vladislav Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Wow! Shame on me I forgot to check the thread out. Thank you for spotting the pics of the hood mounts. It was not a smoked gun deal for me but a question I wanted to learn for a while. Now it's clear and the last shots you posted helped either. Glad to see more progress and pretty sure the look of it will be almost heart-breaking after the paint is on.

h67st Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Love the orange, and the stripe looks great! I notice you have spokes on front and budds on back, is there a particular reason for that? I'm used to seeing trucks the other way around.
