Ah one of Big Ed's tank trucks, Amesbury yard?

The 6 wheeler with the tag behind it is Matt Staffieri's truck his driver Danny probably posted it, they just got the truck in April and had it painted and it was was just out on the road for the first time last week, that is a heavy speced truck. He does golf course renovation work with that equipment, has done work for me.

They where putting together a collection of B-models and wanted it there before the Mcungie show, also my work at the golf course was not going to allow me the time out of work over fathers day weekend this year. Do plan to take Superliner down in October to Mack fest or Gerharts show one of the two.

Yes that was us you saw this morning in the rain,,,had to haul it in the rain from Hartford to Allentown, took us 2 hours to clean it, the museum people where very nice while we cleaned it up. Thank you every one for the nice comments, he is very proud of the achievement and he is happy to share the truck with others who appreciate them, he never restored it to just park it away in a shop, he hates when show season is over and it gets put away, but now every day for it is show season. I will still have the Superliner at the shows for the first time this summer, have some things to do before Lancaster to it is but almost ready to show. Again Thank you guys for the nice comments!! Jack

Loaded up our 65 B-61sx for a year long stay at the Mack Museum today, my father is like a kid waiting for Xmas to come. His ten years of restoration with the help of his shop and family has reached what he always wanted to have his truck on display in the museum and with the help of Don and Carol at the museum the truck was placed on lone to the museum for the next year.

That Superliner of yours just looks like you don't mess with it!!,,,,,,Nothing cheap about that truck, very nice.

No when maxi's applied truck will roll freely, they have not been adjusted recently truck has been only driven 3 times since December when they where last adjusted and things where fine previous, hear no air leaks but will take all advice and look at Monday,,,,,,,,,,thx Jack

I am at where you described, you apply brakes and the cans hardly move slack adjusters, so some thing changed from the time I took it out to the time we parked it, do believe its a valve issue just need to figure out, thx for help.

Was using my 89 Superliner today and went to park it and found out the maxi's are not working. There is no are leak, brakes where working fine, but now in the cab I have the tractor, trailer maxi's button's ( for lack of better word) and my Blue maxi that has no air to it does nothing, no feel to it at all. Trailer maxi works when hooked to trailer. So I figure it's a valve but which one. Any help in shortening my elimination process a help. Jack

We put all new Bias Ply back on ours when we restored it, would of put radials on but we where going for an all original restoration so we went that route. The tires where not cheap we got them out of a place in Ohio and had them shipped and we had them mounted local. If you drive it a lot go radials, ours only goes out maybe 10 times a year otherwise its in the shop out of the weather.

Shell Rotella is very good or I am using Kendall in mine 15w-40 both Superliner and B61 with a 673C in it.

I am laughing at the last two comments guys, truth is the keys are in it under the seat though and I did just put $400 dollars in fuel in it,,, actually drove it home last night it was so nice out, nothing wrong with a one hour drive to unwind and enjoy the ride home, the simple pleasures of life!!

Looks nice, real nice job refurbishing it.

Want to go but so busy at work recovering dead grass from the winter on the golf course, don't think members would be to happy with me gone for 4 days,,,,do plan to go to Mack day in October or Litz with it in the fall. Will do the Sunday shows around here for now. I also do plan to put the nice center hubs back on the rear axels, just have not had the time to go up to Berubes to get them. I now have the truck at my shop at work so when I have time can do stuff on if for the summer.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments, nice to have those of you who have done or realize what it takes to restore any truck. Jack

Welcome to the group, lots of Mack guys here, we all get hooked on them.

No Manchester, had to get the yard all cleaned up and bark mulched for Mothers Day, then I worked Sunday at the golf course and worked on the truck in the afternoon. Where there many trucks at it with the weather being marginal. Will be at shows in the near future with it.

A year and a half later from when she was purchased and with the help of family and friends, the frame has been all painted, headboard all redone, new fenders, new step box, straight pipes removed and mufflers put on and a whole host other mechanical small things fixed and she was driven for the first time since December on the road and it felt good and drove nice. You know its done when the passenger door is all re pinstriped and your daughters names went on the truck this past week!! Some before pics and finished ones.

Very nice Magnum!! My finished Superliner.
