1961H67 Posted November 1 Author Share Posted November 1 I found them, one is useable, the other is bent, it got washed under the truck, I think I might have a decent one. I haven’t had time to look at all them yet. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/37/#findComment-561165 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1961H67 Posted November 13 Author Share Posted November 13 Talked to the fellow that owned the local bolt store, it’s a mess also, ( pictured):Told him about losing a lot of stainless bolts I had bought for the LJ , A group of us may go help him get some of his inventory into some shipping containers. ( he’s a small business and he has a eye surgery coming up ) it sure was nice to jump in the car and go get some bolts 10 minutes away. I also took a dozer up near Mt Mitchell today where the Hurricane slammed in the mountains,,, The CSX / Clinchfield Railroad got hit hard! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/37/#findComment-561831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb73lt Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Hopefully that will help him out and let his business survive. Every picture I see of the devastation, the remarkable the damage seems. There's just no easy quick fix to put it all back. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/37/#findComment-561832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Sorta off topic🤔.. Saturday I was talking with a man who is a lineman supervisor for Laurens Electric Coop here locally and he said this was the worst storm that he has seen in the 45 years he has worked for them. And we did not get it anywhere as bad as Dean's area did. Customer outage was 98% and it took the first 3-4 days to even get power back to the substations and those breakers replaced before they could go to work on the distribution lines. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/37/#findComment-561841 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1961H67 Posted November 13 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 13 Back on the LJ , I’m making a wiring harness for the headlights and Turn signals, balancing time cleaning around the shop, and hauling equipment. A lot more of the parts stores and restaurants are destroyed. The River is full of trailers and shipping containers,, little league ball fields trashed for a long time. The glass shop that cut my Mack mirror glass is completely gone,, just a pile of blocks. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/37/#findComment-561843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
