Popular Post Derrico Posted December 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2023 It's been a while since I posted some pics of my restoration, but I have some progress to share. I completely rewired the lights. The doors are just hanging in place for now. the windows are in with new gaskets. The wipers are on. Some of the new chrome is on. I need to buff more of the paint and put lights on the back. The lowboy trailer is also done. Happy New Year to all! .....Frank 16 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73699-73-mack-restoration-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Looks great! Are you planning on finding some alloy rims for the front or are you going to keep the Dayton type? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73699-73-mack-restoration-update/#findComment-544284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 Hi BOBWhite, for now I'm going to keep those Dayton type. They will get sand blasted and painted white with chrome stemco seals. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73699-73-mack-restoration-update/#findComment-544286 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I’d completely forgotten all about this I broke in on a 2 stick U model…. Point being, it was an old Plymouth Rock tractor and it was just about the same color… bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73699-73-mack-restoration-update/#findComment-545324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Let’s rephrase that I broke in on an R model trained on the U model…bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73699-73-mack-restoration-update/#findComment-545330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
