mowerman Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Hell, I almost missed this that portable shed was in genius. I wouldn’t have thought of that. I would’ve just did it outside, but that idea is even better. Thanks for that TJ.

mattb73lt Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Regarding posting photos, my ne phone(iPhone 16) has some issues along with my desktop. Posting them right away, I get a “Too Large” failure. But if I wait a day or two they’ll drop right in. Still easier with the phone to post pics. Sometimes I’ll do an entry with my desktop then and the pictures with my phone. I still have know idea why, though? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73175-mack-b873sx-restoration/page/6/#findComment-561205 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hicrop10 Posted November 2 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 2 Going to finish the blasting inside the shop.I put up a portable tent over the truck,will be leaving the garage door open when blasting.Hopefully I will get the front spokes and brake drums off and the steering linkage.After it all off I will be able to clean out any blasting media that made it way into the brakes.Then I will start hand sanding the frame getting it ready for primer.Will get a picture tomorrow. 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73175-mack-b873sx-restoration/page/6/#findComment-561246 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hicrop10 Posted November 10 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 10 Got everything blasted from the front all the way back to the front rear today.Will drag it outside and give it one more once over and also the underside of frame.Then I’ll get to the rear tandems and rear suspension ,then it will be time to call it quits for the sandblasting.Will get a picture or two when I drag it outside.It supposed to rain late today and tomorrow morning maybe so I won’t be dragging it outside. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73175-mack-b873sx-restoration/page/6/#findComment-561672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
