Popular Post h67st Posted July 23, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2023 I got it out today and washed the shop dust off of it, tomorrow I'm going to take it out on the road for the first time. My street is too busy the rest of the week for a shake-down cruise. They're building a huge Intel micro chip plant a mile up the street, the dump trucks roll by my house all day long. They even drive dozers and hoes down my street...the car tires whine as they roll over the cleat marks in the blacktop. 6 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66562-h-model-restoration/page/10/#findComment-535464 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1961H67 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Brocky , the top 2 pictures were originally color, The H 67 was on a calendar my Dad had, I think it was taken on US 52 , Fancy Gap , North of Winston Salem, the other was taken in the parking lot of Hennis home office in Winston Salem, both hung in our house when I was growing up, the black and white is just one of many that Dad had. I have one taken with Pilot Mt in the background, it’s a F model ( Remember Andy Griffin, Mt Pilot ? , that’s where the name came from) . The Hennis Brothers were originally from Mt Airy , Same as Andy Griffin. I think Shirley Mitchell bought them in about 1947 and moved to Winston Salem. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66562-h-model-restoration/page/10/#findComment-535524 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1961H67 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 A friend of my Dad’s has been working on this H 67 for a few years, he’s actually got it in pretty good shape, says he may paint it someday, He drives it to local Truck and Car shows during the summer,, he had it out today , I’m going to show him some pictures of yours, maybe it will inspire him to paint it. ( I have looked at the 5th wheel plate for years and I’m not sure of the purpose of the circle plate, I’ve never seen another one like it.) 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66562-h-model-restoration/page/10/#findComment-536868 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here in the States the only one I have seen is on the Valueliner that the Mack man in Oregon imported from Australia.. His is larger and has a ball bearing race in it as well as a locking pin.. I forget the exact reason for it now other than it was used when pulling road trains on dirt/gravel roads. 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66562-h-model-restoration/page/10/#findComment-536871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
