mowerman Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 I am pretty sure Home Depot rents them. Good luck. Yes I took one out of a 1970 Chevy by myself with a floor jack quite a challenge alone.

BOBWhite Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 It really wasn't all that bad. A cake walk compared to taking the NV4500 out of our 1996 chevy. The torsion bar suspension makes it a lot harder. Plus that Nv4500 is a heavy sucker compared to that 4 speed.

Oh also I would kill for weather like that around here. Not sure if I mentioned it but that Mack pickup did a really good job on that nose it looks like it was factory production like version 386 mentioned a long time ago, mack pick up truck conversions alotta times just don’t seem to look right … Bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71001-sidetrack-area/page/17/#findComment-527445 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 seems a persons mind was much more active in the day; so many phone numbers to remember. and never forget to keep a dime in your pocket for the pay phones through out the town that had phone books in them.
