  1. 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.
  2. What ever happened to that upstart company that was going to carry on the Diamond-T line?
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Melons and pumpkins!
  7. 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.
  8. Some 673's had split manifolds as well (187HP) I believe
  9. Thanks for the birhday wishes Mowerman
  10. 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) !
  11. 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.
  12. Is this the end of the current Mack cab? Was cvg making cabs for Volvo as well as Mack.
  13. Good news for Oshkosh! Now if we can keep the New World Order Europeans from gobbling them up!
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. I remember a lot of orange R's with red fenders in that area hauling bulk trailers. Might have been a different company though.
  18. 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.
  19. While the funds flow to the illegals. Soon to be in a town near you.
  20. The communists and globalist's push the agendas(21 and 30). Biden is just the pen man. He can easily be replaced by another pen man or woman. Trump is our only last chance.
  21. Sounds like a good retirement assignment for the old COE dog. Aluminum cab is a plus. As stated previously, probably a 237 hooked to a 5 speed. Plenty of power for that assignment.
  22. Seems as though a D-17 would work in Canada and Western USA! Is the D16 going to be replaced by the D17? I would guess so. D17 is probably a D16 with upgrades.
  23. Too bad all the Canadian plants are gone. Hayes, Pacific and Mack
  24. The sad point is that you can get big bore engines in IH (Traton VW), Freightliner (Daimler), Western Star (Daimler), KW (Paccar), Peterbilt (Paccar), and Volvo. The only hold out (Black sheep) is Mack putting it at a disadvantage in several markets. Maybe something akin to the Mack modification center could address this or an after market provider. All it takes is some hood cowl and bracket modifications. Cummins provides the proper truck manufacturer bracketry for all their engines in the different makes and models. Mack should also make available the x-13. No long hood needed there. However the M drive might be a problem. I wonder if Cummins in Volvos can use I shift.
  25. Hopefully the new Mack coming will have room enough for big bore engines and cooling systems!
