Popular Post Licensed to kill Posted October 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) I just "stumbled" into this thread. Sat and went through the whole thing so far. Of course I had SEEN the thread but wasn't really interested in what colour a coca cola truck was so didn't bother looking but this morning thought, "there sure is a lot of activity for a thread on truck colour" so decided to take a look and glad I did. Great thread and a wonderful project. Just like Matt's project thread, I don't know if these rare "inspirational" or "discouraging".

Popular Post 1961H67 Posted October 24, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2023 Thanks License to Kill,, We get to chasing rabbits at times, and Trucks like the one I just posted is the reason I’m still working on the Coca Cola Painted LJ that I’m restoring . If I had stayed the course, it would have been done years ago. I probably should’ve started the post as “ Restoring a LJ “ . Matt got involved with a backdrop manifold and we became friends, and it’s gone from there. It’s been a great experience making a lot of friends, I’m planning on getting some more information on the Yellow LTH soon and sharing some of its history.. Thanks for the interest. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/24/#findComment-540924 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be the top of the list of classic Macks and all big trucks, particularly as it was early 1950's. The blue one with the E9 & Mercury alloy sleeper, which is still working pulling a tipping trailer during corn harvest, is 👌 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/24/#findComment-540950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 years ago there was a local here in Jersey that had a W900 Kenworth with a Mack E9 V8 and 18 speed. when i saw the picture of ^this^ Mack i at first thought it was the W900. than i enlarged the pic and saw it was a Mack. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Popular Post 1961H67 Posted October 27, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2023 That Blue one is a beauty! Keystone Museum has a beautiful Black one with a E9 , I saw it yesterday , Which by the way , Keystone Museum is a MUST for Truck ( and Tractor) Lovers, or if you’re just a Mack fan they have a great selection,, the Museum is a classic! 9 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/24/#findComment-541059 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 1961H67 Posted October 30, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2023 In ( Way too many years) that I have been working on this LJ restoration I have been fortunate that I have been donated 2 LJ Parts trucks , one with a 200 Cummins single axle, very rusty, and one Gas tandem, The Gas LJ was purchased new by a company near me when I was growing up,, they moved houses mostly, I remember as a boy seeing it being used. One of the original owners grandsons, gave it to me a few years ago, it was In really bad shape, but I have used a few pieces off of it. And actually I used the transmission in my L J , they put air power steering on it. It’s been a great help. I found a picture of it in use back in the day. Pretty cool! 5 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/24/#findComment-541205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb73lt Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Quite the load. Looks like a home made trailer with military surplus tires on it under that locomotive. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/24/#findComment-541207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1961H67 Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 I’m sure it’s homemade, They sold the property a couple years ago and there was all kinds beams and dollies laying around. I remember watching them move a brick house with it about 500 feet when I40 came through here . I used the transmission because it looked brand new inside, and mine had a lot of miles. They probably never used it in high gear . 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/24/#findComment-541210 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 1961H67 Posted October 30, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2023 For sure,, I love old pictures of trucks & trains working back in the day , I found this one a while back, it’s the Carolina Special coming up Saluda Grade ( steepest mainline railway in the USA, 5% ) The had a siding at the bottom, and a pusher would come out from behind and help. I’ve ridden up the backside of the grade with Dad in our C Model Mack when I was a kid, The road crossed the tracks at the top of the grade,, I donated this picture to the Saluda Grade Depot Museum. 6 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/24/#findComment-541248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
