What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[Another Ahab]

It all looks real nice.


Are those spring clips vinyl-covered, and where did you pick those up?

Had them all purdied up for the 4th. We were too busy for the parades this year

i love those seats spyder. We are consider pulling the d8's out of the cab and mounting them in underbed tool box and running air rides on both sides in the 925.

The owner of the 923 is going to be doing a/c here pretty quick so i guess i will take a shot at that next.

I used my M62A1 to remove both rear differentials on my 1969 R685ST Mack for some part replacement/ re-shimming. As you can see in the last 2 pictures, the splines in the spider gears are worn out, as well as the axle splines.

Put winch install on hold long enough to get thru the parade and bring home 1st place with a little help from my brigade.

Have used them several times. They ship from store to store. It took 6 days to get my last shipment. They are not going to bring it to your place and you need to call your local location about dropping off or picking up.

FYI, Fastenal will not deliver to nor pickup from NV under any circumstances

Last year, after many scheduling delays they finally said they were not booking any business with NV customers. I believe that this shipping policy is still in place today.

Cheers to Mama for helping where help is needed, and a special "attaboy" to your Soldier B who clearly knows how to mix work with pleasure. It looks like he's having a ball!

Yeah my son loves to help with the truck. Start him with a good work ethic and he will grow up with one. Yeah muy wife is great. She puts up with a lot.

Looks good Spyderman. Where did you get your seats? I've been thinking about putting air ride in mine also. The wife won't ride in it very often because of the rough ride.

My buddy bought them for me from gov liquidation for $475. I don't know what they originally went in bit they fit well. There is more leg room now.

You can T into the drivers side tank rear port. Some are 1/2" some are 3/8" npt. You need to add a pressure protection valve and a pressure regulator before the seat. The post in in Juan's "major zippidty" thread. The rear line into the emergency brake is the feed for air from the spring take. The middle is a vent. The front is to the double check valve.

Thanks for the info. Now I just need some more free time to finish it.

Here is the gauge and the flashlight holder I installed. I added magnets to the car show dash plaques I have and put them in the cab in a few places.

Hi

See you were at Weare Rally last year, will we see you this year?

Cheers Phil

That first place is well-deserved, for sure.
My favorite feature is the uniform-of-the-day.

Here. (925 W/Winch... not Wench!)

Done! came out great... and just in time for the parade on the 4th.

I'll do a build thread and include details and photos of the fabrication, including the black plastic dip to subdue the yellow color.

Hey Phil, I was at the Weare rally last year. Drove my M923 up from Cape Cod with the convoy of big trucks on Friday. Plan on being there again this year. Hope to see you there.

 

[Cape Coastie]

Hey Ahab, I think I bought the clips at Wally World most likely in the household goods/hardware dept. There is a coating on them but painted up ok so not sure it is anything but paint.

More work for the M62A1 this evening, removing the dump bed from my R685 Mack, with some help from my 941B Caterpillar.

 

[big block 88]

What are you putting that dump bed on?

Nothing, just taking it off for 2 rear diff rebuilds in the Mack it came off of.
