[@donmunro144]

My uncle used to take me for rides in one of these when I was a kid. I took him for a ride a month ago in my 389 peterbilt. He was grin from ear to ear. So glad I did.

She’s a beauty! When are going to fire up the engine so we can hear her purr ?

[@liaml3648]

Thanks, I will put a good video of it run soon.

[@MrLuckytrucker21]

Thats a tachograph, or nicknamed the (tattletale box), its an early mechanical way to track drivers hours on the road! If you can get the key, you can open that box and there is a round paper disc that records the hours!

[@carldrexler7883]

@@MrLuckytrucker21 now we call that an E log 😂😂😂😂

[@Retired88M]

Yeah that tachograph could be opened and a special paper chart could be changed daily so THE MAN could see if you were speeding Also was hoping you’d have started it so we old timers could here the music we grew up with

[@liaml3648]

Haha that's awesome, I'm gonna have to try and open it up

[@chetr2171]

Look for a toggle switch on the dash, marked Dynatard. If it's there, it's Mack's version of a Jake

[@carldrexler7883]

There was no dynatard back then didn’t come out until 71 and by then most enines were turbocharged

[@thomaswilliams3342]

​@@carldrexler7883also there's no electric connection going to the top of the rocker cover. The dynotard had the control solenoid on top of the rocker arm shaft support mount. I have put so many Jake's on some older Mack's (60-70s) back in the 80s. You can tell if the engine has one by looking under the rocker cover for the extension housing to raise the rocker cover. The electrical connectors go through the Jake's housing not the covers. And if you remember to install a Jake on the early Mack engine you had to disassemble the rocker arm shaft so you could grind down the exhaust rocker arm so the slave piston could clear the arm to hit the top of the valve.

[@lonnybackus3542]

That box mounted on the dash with a odometer ,clock,and tachometer was called a tachograph.You could open it and put a round paper chart in it.The chart was supposed to match your log book entries.

[@liaml3648]

That's awesome.

[@Iamnothereijustsee]

Its not even flint stoned YES. I wanna see this on the road Godbless get it done I believe

[@jasonbuck489]

Oooo!... A Thermodyne!... That Truck isn't in too awfully bad of shape... The "Thing" on the Dashboard is a "Tattle Box"... That should have a key and be able to be opened... They had a piece of paper inside that the damn thing would record your Speed, Rpm's, stuff like that.... We used to open them with a small, strait, piece off Sheet Metal.... I think I had made my "Key" out of a Tool that you use to remove the Older Car Stereos.... That "Dummy Axle" on there is Cool too... They work great until you need to back up an incline or small hill... A lot of times, even though you have it up, they will pick your Drive Axle up off the Ground, then you'll sit and spin.... Anyhow, AWESOME TRUCK!....

[@liaml3648]

That's awesome, I'm gonna have to try and open the tachograph.

[@Murphyslawfarm]

G'day from nsw Australia just found your channel and subbed mate 👍

[@liaml3648]

Thank you

[@leonardgilbreath9004]

That's a tachograph or tattletell used to record engine RPMS.

[@liaml3648]

That's cool, I noticed the rpm gauge isn't working on it, gonna have to try and open it

[@carldrexler7883]

Engine looks pretty clean. Find out if it’s a P engine they were strong for a naturaly espired engine

[@MrLuckytrucker21]

Single screw with a tag axle!

[@the_lost_navigator]

Kudos!. TwinStick (Garage) has done it - so can you! Subbed and lookin forward to your resto vids. Respect, eh.

[@liaml3648]

Thank you

[@thomasglynn2282]

You haven't lived until you shove your thumb into the windshield while spinning the steering wheel fast.

[@liaml3648]

Haha that I can see how someone could do that, between the giant steering wheel and lack of power steering it is alot to handle

[@thomasglynn2282]

@@liaml3648 also the distance between the wheel and window on the left side is tight

[@raginroadrunner]

7 11 thermodyne? Must be a west coast truck with wheel base it has.

[@JeronWhite]

[@lucidrain9469]
