Popular Post j hancock Posted August 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2018 It is a dark dreary day here. Maybe it is where you are as well. Hopefully posting some bright yellow will help your day! FJ1C1084D. FJ's were manufactured between 1938-1943. This is #83 of 322 units produced. Beautifully restored and shown at Macungie 2018. 6 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Brocky Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Jim, Thank You.. Mr Saunders collection does some fine pieces. BUT I personally think he over does the Bling!! There was not that much chrome in that era, especially on working trucks?? 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54039-1939-mack-fj-heavy-tractor/#findComment-404044 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a little over the top with chrome but none of the bills came to me and I am happy some vintage Mack iron has been preserved. 3 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Chuck P Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 That truck was perfect! He fired that old Lanova up and just let it idle for a few minutes. It purred like a kitten.

Hobert62 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Just the right amount if chrome. It's not like he covered every frame bolt with a little plastic cap. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54039-1939-mack-fj-heavy-tractor/#findComment-404093 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 kind of interesting to look at.....never needs paint but constant polishing.lol.bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54039-1939-mack-fj-heavy-tractor/#findComment-404111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I actually like the freightliner.... But I couldn't imagine the upkeep to keep it looking like that. I think I've seen a conventional Pete that was all polished too. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54039-1939-mack-fj-heavy-tractor/#findComment-404115 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I would expect that polisher turning out as a very expensive option. Increadable FJ and after some thinking I got my mind it was a cleanest truck restoration I ever saw.
