nice the clan
music for ears me
Nothing better than an R Model Mack. My father worked for Mack Trucks for years. Starting on the assembly line in Allentown Pa. and ended up in the World Headquarters in Allentown. So glad you’re keeping that beautiful truck alive. Keep up the great work both of you. 👍
Please leave it the way it is. Love it. I started my truck driving career on a 1965 B61 Mack Twin Stick in 1979.
The blue and white is spot on!
Can't believe how clean and original the interior is. What a great find.
Brings back a lot of memories. Those R model 5 speeds were practically indestructible.
There's a difference between a show truck and a museum truck. I love seeing these old work horses with period correct personal touches. This truck may not have the most chrome or lights but is has class. And thats something you can't buy from the Chrome Shop Mafia
beautiful truck and it makes my heart smile that you are happy
I have the guards on my straight pipe. Great you are using the old school machines. They do as good a job as any new rigs. Always will too. Great job you two. My 72 Hayes Clipper Anniversary ex logger is still a year away from finished. The Mack Superliner is waiting patiently thanks for all your hard work editing these posts in your busy farming schedules eh
Gavin seems to have things figured out.”Yes Dear that’s fine “ saves a lot of time!
Cool truck ,enjoyed the video
took me 62 yrs to figure out thats the only way to get the last word in.
Excellent choice of colors. My favorite truck of all time!!!!
Great project, can’t wait to follow along on this with a great couple.
Hi Grayce and Gavin. You look so happy driving the Mack.
Macks are my favorite trucks. I really like the B Models.
I live about 30 minutes from the museum so that'll be cool to see when it gets there
Grace, your smile is awesome - it show your great personality, excitement and the fun that you were having.
Could not have said it better.
Knowing that’s going to a museum I would restore it to as close to original as possible.
Hi folks and thanks for the video!! Pretty cool 'new' Mack! It doesn't need much to finish it off and I will look forward to your progress on it. It would be nice to find software that would let you try different colours to see how they look before you start splashing paint on it! Definitely need to get the fifth wheel, air and electrical connections working! Nice to see Gavin - he is a cool, friendly guy!! Have a great week! 😀
Ref pinstripes n lettering, hotrodjen is awesome at what she does, shes a real talent whos channel deserves a boost. 👍🇬🇧👍
Don’t ever stop double clutching!
Old Mack’s deserve the respect and effort.
I disagree. Learn to sync those gears!
Lol
Float shifting for sure
Double clutch or float 5 main float 3 auxiliary only B 61 Mack Feel your gear on your main when you float
Never double clutched . Ran 5x4 , and quad
The truck is beautiful. It’s good to see you so happy 😊
Beautiful R Model. Very clean.
Beautiful R Model. Very clean.
I love that Allis in the background
Looks like a fantastic old truck, and I think you guys will fix it up real nice! You too make a fantastic couple!!
For the steps off the the frame, I personally like 18 " wide , add quarter fenders with the rubber piece on top say MACK, what ever color cab is going to be, the MACK name on the steer wheels highlight them .
That truck is from nh the sticker on the vent window is manchester mack. The mack dealer in NH. And that paint scheme looks like jhonny prescotts oil in concord nh. They are a fuel delivery company and has always been a mack loyal company.
OH THE MEMORIES!!, THAT SOUND !! just love it
111
I wouldn't change a thing about it I think it's awesome just like it is.
That's going to be a unique looking truck - a stretch wheelbase single axle tractor!
Bedbug haulers were mostly single axle, and there's room on the frame for a shiny Mercury sleeper behind the cab. And the colors are close enough to be a Leaser for Atlas Van Lines.
I would say if you were going to keep it on the farm, put an oil tank on it with a meter pump for refueling equipment out in the field.
So cool that you post videos about Mack Trucks. We had an 85 Superliner with the 500V8 and a 79 R model. We grow mostly wheat, canola, barley up here in Saskatchewan.
NO DEF, NO DPF, NO EGR, just old school AMERICAN POWER!!!!!!
Quite the beautiful truck! Sounds like you two have some great ideas for it! Like the idea of a black metallic paint scheme... One of the best things of any restoration project you can try different ideas and see if it works or not. Gavin's idea of a black metallic steering wheel will bring a great touch to the inside. Chrome/Aluminum wheels would accent the metallic in the paint... Best of luck on your project! Hope you show us updates!
Just think, this will be one of a kind when it's done! Definitely be a great addition to the Mack Museum!
You guys are DEEP in on the Mack’s. Respect.
The last Mack I drove was a 10 speed with 2 shift levers and you had to double clutch. That truck looks nice!
My dad bought a ‘84 brand new. Still remember the night he brought it home. Was -20 below outside. Had it in a wood stove shop and I’m pretty sure he was feeding the stove all night so it would fire up easy in the morning!
I have a 1974 Westerliner COE with 300 Hp maxidine with a 5 speed No power steering and tamden axles with camel hump suspension and trans you can only put it in first gear first and you rip it in and it goes right in then you can go to reverse if that is what you want. I broke clutch cable with a full load of soybeans and still drove it to the elevator and it was a challenge to get off the scaled fully loaded empty was easer.
The color is nice. Pinstripe the edges where the colors meet. I have to add that if you want to double clutch go for it.
Beautiful old truck. Someone's already done a very nice job of starting the restoration. I like the metal flake black over the blue. I think it'll look sharp. Might be kinda cool to see if you can learn a little about what the truck did in its life and incorporate a nod toward that in the restoration somehow. Could be as simple as a small plaque somewhere or maybe nod to it in the hand painted stuff Gavin was suggesting for the door? Just a thought. Looking forward to this. Have fun with it! Take care.
You two are great together!
Chemistry is definitely there.
That interior is like a time capsule! It looks nice! 5 speed Mack’s are easy to shift you just have to shift slower between gears and let the rpm’s drop. A lot more gap between gears than you 9 speed.
You probably got a damn good man there….I’ve met a lot of folks from KY and always been really impressed on just how damn chill they are, It’s seriously next level.
Your doing great job on the Mark to restore it. Paint like light black and metal flakes. White pin strip. Wheels white on outside black inside
Keep the Carolina Blue Color with black trim and wheel blue on spokes, ring chrome. Single Axle needs to be tandem, but 5 speed, no double clutch, float the gears move on. later, friend.
Congratulations
Watching Gavin drive reminded me of the years I spent with the window crank digging a hole in my leg lol
I use to run a load of soda from Westboro, Massachusetts to Florence, New Jersey in a tandem axle 5speed R-Model Maxidyne, Nothing is like a classic Mack it's a sweet truck.
Absolutely love the old Mack
This video does my heart good! I can't wait to see more.
rain cap "Flapper" for LIFE!! sorry but I really love those things there is just nothing better then that flapper knocking as it idles
This truck rocks!!!!! You guys are awesome!!!!
Need to put the later model rectangle head lights in it. It's a easy fix the later model head light bucket bolts right in and you only need to square up the round openings in the hood. A really nice look. I have them in my r model .
Sweet truck! We have 3 R model Mack trucks. A 76 two stick 6 speed 300 Mack engine, an 80 with a super 10 and a 350 Mack engine, and an 86 with a 9 speed and 300 Mack engine. Toughest trucks made! 👍
Hello , Very nice video. I learned how to drive semis in a DM model hook to an asphalt tanker in Colombia, South America. Came with 237 engine Maxidyne, 5 Speed Maxi torque transmission, and Mack
Dual axle, dual reduction with Camel suspension 46000 pounds. Very very Reliable truck. One time we loaded with 110000 pounds total going up the Hill called " La Linea" over 12000 feet high.
Great machines!
Thanks for video.
5 speed is the easiest to shift. My favorite mack trans. Love your channel.
I love the Mack! Our first Mack was an 84, hauled a lot of heavy equipment with it! Went all Mack for our lowboys after the 84.
I love Old Iron, especially with the Bull Dog on the hood.
I like the truck with that color scheme.
Sweet ole truck please don't spoil it, Grace 😉
I just hope we get to see the finished product!
The air cleaner top " Hat" chrome or stainless,the mounting brackets on air cleaner chrome or stainless., below MACK emblem on hood, Put " Class of the year " of the trk
Rain caps always.. thank you for not calling it a "flapper"
The flapper is below your nose😂
Very cool Project, Love Mack Trucks especially the R Models.
I would Paint it midnight blue with flakes with matching rims instead of black. The Mack and chrome will stick out better. Add duel Hanley Airhorns on the roof too :)
Hi all im from Ontario Canada love the videos
It looks awesome the way it is!! I have a 1965 C600 Mack (the predecessor to the R Model). It is all Mack with a Duplex and single axle!
This was fun to watch 😂😂😂, good luck on your journey with this rig!
Being that I am a Western Star Service Rep, this is a nice Bull Dog. You both are so awesome.
Keep it original!
The Bulldog! Awesome truck. R model is one of my favorites!
That’s so cool a truck brought y’all together. Smooth move sir, you got a great lady there.
I can’t wait to see what you guys do to it. As a Gen X guy who grew up around trucks in Maine and has been a full time driver for 30 years Mack’s were always very popular. If you’ve not heard of them look up Dirigo restorations in Maine. They have a gorgeous collection of trucks and we’re at one time one of the leading Mack restoration guys anywhere.
Peterbilt Legendary black would look great on that. It’s got a ton of sparkle in it. I also agree on the pinstripe, that’s almost a must on an old Mack. Absolutely color match the steering wheel
Great to have a fellow Bulldog Mack Sister
Don't know what to say, I never thought there would be a women who had AC, Dodge and Mack, the guys at Macungie are great, they have helped me with wiring diagrams 👍👍👍👍👍
@Farmer_Grayces yes Grayce, I am blown away, you also do a nice job of shifting the Mack too, It is good you and your boyfriend share the love of Mack, my wife Deb and I had a get away weekend and I took her to the Macungie Plant to tour the Mack factory, that was 25 years ago 😀, the American truck historical society convention is in York PA. June 6-8 , there will be lots of Mack's 👍 and other trucks
Late watching the video Grayce. Nice looking old Mack. Shame it's not a twin screw. 5 speed maxidine same gear pattern as a M or H Farmall tractor. Can't wait to see it finished. Tough old trucks.
Oh it is so Nice now ❤ please let it bee😊 thanks for you good videos😀👋🏻👋🏻 Jesper Denmark🇩🇰🇺🇸
You silly kids... are great 🙂
And the truck is too!
Love you guys. Stay happy ❤
Awesome job
That’s a very tidy old Mack. A black diamond Pearl steering wheel from PearlCraft here in Australia would look awesome if you go with a black flake paint job 👌🏻
I’m so looking for an 82 to 85 western star for the same idea. Father son project. You just do see them down south in good shape like a Mack. Have fun if you see a star let me know lol
That truck is beautiful. It must be so fun driving that beast.
It is! I took it for a joyride yesterday!
I love the truck
That blue and white mack was down in Florida in late January for the truck show
I would definitely have it pinstriped between the two colors.
Im in love with this girl! She's great
awesome cant wait for more videos truck needs to be one colour x
My suggestion is to get a set of twin screw differentials so that you could pull grain trailers and low beds, then keep it. If you guys get hitched, take it on your honeymoon!
You have a Mack going to a Mack museum, you GOTTA keep all parts with Mack on them on the truck including the wheels!
Yeah I agree I don't think putting a bunch of aftermarket stuff on it/non-factory paint scheme is a good idea if it's going to a Mack museum
The black and blue combo would be 👌. I’m team rain cap 😉
Grace you and Gavin are very nice couple in video have lots of fun re doing Mack truck
Paint the cab Patriot Blue, it's dark blue with a lot of pearl and do the inside the same, you'll find the code in Dodge factory colors. when the sun hits it it really dances!!!
Metalflake steering wheel tan and metalflake black sounds great.
what a beautiful couple we hope you can get married in the spring and soon and have a couple of children while you are young.
@Farmer_Grayce privatly you have chat adress?
So this has a Maxitorque 5 speed. Most likely has a 300 engine. Drove a truck with a 300 but had the 6 speed with a Lo gear for crawling and was also air assisted but those 5 speeds aren’t bad either.
grayce you and gavin fit togather like a hand in a farm glove-have fun restoring theMack !-careful gavin she may put that ball chain on ya and before even realize it LOL-greeting from david in arkansas!
I'm with Grace on the shiny wheels!
Mack Attack 😊 Nice 👍🏾
Awesome truck !!!! You and Gavin make good couple.
👋 great video I love how you explained what type of truck that is like Meagan fox did in the first transformers film when Sam acts odd without telling her his new car is a autobot then she goes off explaining everything to him about his car and he's like wow. I enjoyed seeing the smoke come out of it, if I ever visit don't let me drive my dad tried having me drive his old car on stickshift and somehow went backwards he's like no son wrong I'm like I followed what you said to a t after a while I gave up
Gracye is back with another video... Gracye is baaaaaack.. I so happy. Doh! Noice shades, btw.
That tractor trailer is macknificent looking.
