Now that it is running good I say take a break from the M123A1C and put your efforts back into the M125. That will give you plenty of time to decide on paint/no paint.

I was told yesterday that someone in England is making a run of new 1400-24 NDT's. $1200 each not including shipping.

What is your plan for these David ? I see a few parts I need ......

I realized last week that the 24087 is the actual paint code that is referenced on the 1968 Mack order sheet. So this is definitely the correct paint for this truck.

At the Antique Truck Club of America's Macungie national show this past Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Looking good David !

Howard, the 10 ton is deceivingly huge !

We will be in good company at Macungie, with John Gott's 1942 Ward LaFrance 1000 Series 2 M1 wrecker, and the Wheels of Liberation Collection's 1942 Diamond T 981 prime mover. We will be at the show Thursday thru Saturday.

It's not done, but it is done enough ! All the big stuff is on, including the spare tire and that big heavy (200+ lbs) winch pulley assembly. We also removed the metal top as the front of it is pretty fubared where it had been previously welded to the windshield frame. There are no tail lights...

A lot of cleaning, sanding, painting, and assembly has been going on. Most of the big stuff is on. Still a lot of things to do but we are looking good for Macungie on Thursday. The M123A1C is starting to look like Army issue again.

Thank David. That puts the drain plug towards the frame on the passenger side. My truck was plumbed to run off of one tank years ago. the passenger side tank was removed.

I got my paint from Midwest Military. It is the correct paint for a Vietnam era truck.

Got the new windshield frames painted yesterday and installed today. Now we will be taking a break for a week or so to attend the ATHS truck show in Harrisonburg Virginia and visit with friends.

This one will have singles on the rear, and the off set of the wheels we are using perfectly match the front track. I'm not sure if these wheels were custom made or came off something else, but we won't have any width issues.

I really just worked opposite sides of it and let it cool down between welds. The plate I used was 1/8”, same as the fenders so I didn’t have any warpage issues.

David I actually have two extra tanks, I’m just going to mount one as a dummy. Are there left hand and right hand tanks ? If so all mine are the same, left hand.

Fenders and grill are on, it is starting to look like a truck again. The hard top is temporary, but my new canvas top will not be ready for several weeks. We are going to the show topless ! Rear wheels for the singles. We are still looking for the spare tire davit and the winch pully...

The original goal for this truck was to have it ready for the 2020 Macungie truck show. The Covid travel restrictions did in that plan and the show was canceled anyway. But now it is 2021 and the Macungie show is Fathers Day weekend, just a few weeks from now. The push is on to have it ready for...

It has been a long time since this thread had been updated, but with the truck several hundred miles away it has been difficult to get away and work on it. However on my last trip I brought the fenders home to do some rust repair and repair two 2x6 holes punched into them by the forestry service...

I don't know what caused that crack, it does not appear to be in a high stress area. It is getting welded up. The actuating arms are also getting welded up and re-surfaced. Almost every spring in the clutches were broken, but I was able to find a spring vendor who was able to provide a very...
