  1. How many Montville books are there?
  2. What is the story on the red DM. Is that a JV 111.
  3. If Mack USA had the independence that Mack Australia has it would be a good thing. Volvo has the dog on a choker collar over here.
  4. Sounds like a lot of things were put into production before R&D and test trials were done. Probably in trying to keep up with the competition a lot of regrettable decisions were made
  5. Yup single axle B or R with smaller wheels is the way to go. Nice job on the B though. How about a ch with smaller wheels-Yuk!
  6. May bee the 707 was the first edition of the 711. They must have done something to get the extra 4 cubic inches. Possibly head volume or maybe the Mack mathamititions were having a bad day.
  7. Good job BCR! Thats the trailer article I remember seeing around 1970.
  8. I believe St Johnsbury had a bunch of U models with Cummins 903's. Watkins had V-8"s in U models . Not sure if they were Cummins or Mack. Roadway of course had the V detroits.
  9. I always thought the 707 was a gas engine.
  10. The Mack ultra Liner got retired way before its time. That truck could still be reintroduced today and it would be up to date
  11. I remember adds for the stars and stripes Macks in 71 or 72
  12. Doesn't get much better than a valueliner.
  13. I believe Mack was going to manufacture van trailers in about 1970 or so. I remember seeing an old ad for this.
  14. As I recall I think Mad dog nailed it. I saw the ENDT 673 205's in 1960 0r 1961.
  15. Most American companies don't think long term like the Europeons and Japanese. Americans are just in it to turn a buck. The Europeons and Japanese think survival.
  16. Do you have any Ulrichs? I remember when they were $ 2.99 per kit.. That was a lot of money then.
  17. I opened up play time to a few of my first gear Macks for the grand kids. At first it was a disaster. Broken mirrors, exhausts, bulldogs, mud flaps etc. Now they have started to reach equilibrium. They sort of look like a group of quarry or pit trucks. Definitely worth it the grand kids love them.
  18. What kind of wood do you use in your spokes? Hickory I bet.
  19. One of these is stilli running around Connecticut. A white one for Clark running petroleum out of Cromwell I believe.
  20. :twothumbsup:Looks like you would need an M-100 for that pair.
  21. Between Japan, Europe, Korea and India they own about 75 % of the car market and China is just getting started. Way to be asleep at the switch America.
  22. Is a polished peterbilt a peterski.
  23. Same as colors as Butler Macks from Connecticut. Don't think the Butlers are 65'000's. Should have good resale value like the RD 800's. Then again they were all pre EPA.
