Rescuing an A40 Mack from the Woods Part 2!
After far too long we are back to the Mack! I received permission to get back on this property so I could continue the process of getting this A40 Mack out of the woods.
I want to thank everyone who commented on the last video and provided a great deal of information about this truck that I did not know. I really appreciate those who did that!
It has been raining a lot here so it has become too swampy to drive back there but as soon as I can I will be back making more progress. A friend who is more experienced with a chainsaw will also be with me to help fell the bigger trees growing through and against the truck. The last thing I want to do is drop a tree right on the cab of the truck....
Every trip here I am getting a little closer to getting this Mack back on the road!

1940's Mack Truck Rescue - Getting it out of the woods after 40 years Part 1!
Переглядів 167 тис.4 роки тому
I'm not for sure what year this Mack truck is but I'm guessing it's late 40's. It's been sitting in these woods for nearly 40 years and it's my goal to drag it out. I know this is going to be a big job so I better start looking for a bigger winch... CORRECTION: This is a gas motor not a diesel, thank you everyone for all the information, I really appreciate it!
'75 Chevy Cheyenne C20 Driveshaft rebuild and install!
Переглядів 2,7 тис.4 роки тому
After going out to the shop and finding huge puddle of transmission fluid under the truck I knew it was time to replace the transmission seal. While I had the driveshaft out it was the perfect time to replace the carrier bearing and u-joints. I wasn't going to do the u-joints initially but after further consideration I decided replacing them was the right thing to do. Unfortunately I could not ...

Making some improvements to the Trailering Special! On this episode I install a new Edelbrock 600cfm carb, replace the old water pump with a bad bearing and finish all the polishing on the paint to make the truck look a little more presentable. Lots more to come!

It's a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado, I have had it a few months and it seems to be a good truck, I forgot to open the hood in the video, but it has the 4.3 V6, I would have liked to have gotten one with 4.8 or 5.3 V8, but for the work I do, the V6 should be sufficient.

    I liked the dash better on Olds than Chevy. IT WAS A LOT EASIER TO PUT IN A DIFFERENT STEREO IN OLDS. I KNOW. i had 3 Caprice Classics and 4 Olds Delta 88 Brougham..2 were actually Olds 98 Regency Brougham. I actually had a third Olds 98 but I used it as a parts car.

  • @marckemp9955

    I always thought the Olds 307 would last longer than the 305 Chevy but the Chevy was easier to alter for more power. The old flat cam Olds 307s were still running and going with 300,000 miles on original equipment and back then that was pushing it for the 305. Anything past 250,000 on the Chevy until they went to roller cams. I think they both went to roller cam and lifters in 86/87 and if someone has done maintenance and kept the ring lands clean and bottom end tight they'll last longer than most people wanted to have them. I mean probably had a timing set but I usually check it when I do the water pump.

    The model 1486A is from 1983 or after due to the lettering and evergreen color & the 4.8 amp motor. The '70s Eurekas had metal handles, 3.5 amps or E.S.P. 6.0 amp motors.

    When I was a baby my parents owned a custom Cruiser almost identical to this. My friends thought it was cool because it looked just like the one the family drove in the movie Poltergeist. Actually Poltergeist 2. Even though they used very similar olds custom cruisers the second one used the facelifted version and of course in the older film they used one pre-1982.
