There's a really good book, Marty on the Mountain. He started up there in 54 i think. And was the last radio man to work the old TV buliding for the Portland station. Has a lot of intresting stories. Like the orignal Cat generators and how you had to sync em to swap engines. Its a great read
-
I think Zapora did, as well as Bickford. Not sure who the R700 was hauling for. Bickford i believe was the last to haul up there on a large scale
-
I owned a R700 that was bought new in 77 by a local man who was hauling fuel to the summit that summer. Not many folks can wear that bumpa stickah that reads, This Car Climbed Mt Washington on their Mack
-
That is an early Cruiseliner, notice it does not have side directional lights.
-
Ah, good point. I know that you couldnt get the cheap round cab lights if you wanted a Lund visor on the later Astro's
-
You are right. That Astro is made of many different parts. Cab lights dont match, Wrong grab handles for that vintage. Im not sure from the angle but i dont think thats the correct battery box. Intresting truck. Would like to walk around it and see just what they built.
-
Thank you
-
Yes that's me and my Cruiseliner's.
-
I know that truck. 8Vp2, 9 Spd, came from Westmoreland, N.H.?
-
A 320late cat. A 237 Maxidyne would stomp that with a half plugged fuel filter.
-
I think the air ride cab was an option. Both of mine are owner installed. I bought one out of a junk yard 5 years ago. They defintely do help the ride but more importantly save the cab.
-
WOW!!! Thats incredible. I have a 80 Cruiseliner also, good for parts. It does run and drive. Has P.S. and air ride cab. Both Cruiseliners have air ride cab. Nice find you have for sure. Take care of it and enjoy it.
-
LOL. He did enjoy the Cruiseliner. Had a good time with Mike that day
-
Yes and yes. The 83 Cruiseliner is kinds special. It is a true barn find, sat 25 years and had 196,00 miles. Level 3 interior, air ride, E9, dual exhaust
-
If ya like Cruiseliners, check out You Tubes the Boston Trucker videos. He did a 2 part video on the Cabover Kings. 2 of my Cruiseliners are seen
