    I heard the same thing Black Dog. I see Rawson an ex Mack user switched to KW has Peterbilt dumps now.

    The only thing the Mack engineers had to get right on this Volvo Pioneer was to get the grill right and they F'd it up!

    I like the reference to the continued Anthem. Hopefully with an axle back and forward design to replace the Pinnacle.

    Well the new Mack is out and it is called the Pioneer. Volvo clone with Mack hood and grill. Should have placed the Mack logo in the center of the grill instead of the bottom. I like the looks of the Anthem better. The pioneer will have a much improved interior I guess. Rumor has it that the Pinnacle axle forward will be dropped. Mack will not have a competitor in the long hood market leaving the likes of Paccar, Daimler and VW the lone providers. This would be a shame. The Mack Pinnacle axle forward is a good looking truck in my opinion. They are seen all over the Boston area.

    That was the earlier LJ cab I believe. Not sure if that was an Orville design or in house. Orville I would guess.

    I finally got my one brain cell that I have left into high gear. That upstart company that I recall was T-Line. They had high hopes about 10 years ago. Since then crickets

    I remember seeing a Diamond T 921 RB as a kid back in Illinois. What a beautiful truck! I was always curious as to what the RB stood for. I know the 921 was a pretty standard heavy highway model. It did have the set back axle.

    When they went from the G to F they should have kept using the Aluminum cabs. There would be alot of F's around today if they were aluminum.

    What ever happened to that upstart company that was going to carry on the Diamond-T line?

    Real beauty. Looks like the colors of that Canadian company that folded. I can't think of the name. Also the former Lindon Company out of New Jersey

    I don't believe Volvo would have purchased CVG if they planned on dropping the Mack Cab. Sounds like Volvo has a lot of options for Mack going forward.

    Who made the integral sleeper on the IH-Coachlite?-Orville? They were used on many trucks A-cars, Macks,IH's Whites and Fords. Probably many others.

    Obviously a short sided loud mouth that is not looking out for the good of the country. Protect the selfish union members and let the country be damned.

    Some 673's had split manifolds as well (187HP) I believe

    Who was at the helm when Mack allowed Signal in and who was at the helm when Mack allowed Renault in. Doing business with the devil (Renault) allowed Mack to be floating in the wind for a Volvo (devil 2) takeover. Don't blame Volvo- Blame the Mack board of directors and at the time CEO(devil 3) !

    Looks like the MD is getting the +4 cab. They must have had to use up a bunch of -4 cabs at the MD's introduction.
  19. james j neiweem
    Is this the end of the current Mack cab? Was cvg making cabs for Volvo as well as Mack.

    Good news for Oshkosh! Now if we can keep the New World Order Europeans from gobbling them up!

    Unions are one of the main reasons that American Industrial Companies have gone bankrupt, moved out of country, or have been bought out by foreign entities, mainly Europe, Canada and Japan, and now China.

    Yes We did stop and make a donation tom the state liquor store. My daughter lives in NH. Thought about moving there but housing prices are crazy in Stratford County.

    Oh random for sure. Another thing I noticed is that for all of the talk about aero trucks and the big hood conventionals disappearing, there are still tons of W 900 KW's and long nose Petes out there along with some Freightliners, Stars and Macks.

    I remember a lot of orange R's with red fenders in that area hauling bulk trailers. Might have been a different company though.

    Saw several triaxle dump trailers and tankers trailers. All with big power Pete's KW's and Stars. Saw several new Pinnacle tractors- none with tri axle trailers. Saw Anthems for NFI, UPS and Central Freight. According to a post I saw on Facebook, Central has about 800 Anthems now.
