    Similar displacement to the Scania V-8.

    Another reason not to let VW eat up Navistar. Take note Navistar board of directors.

    The truck should be ok. Give consideration to the dealership as far as support. Keep us up to date. Good luck.

    865 was the maxi v8 I believe

    Some body can make her look proud again.

    Bullet was ahead of its time. Its to bad Hendrickson doesn't get back into heavy haul specialty business. Suspension is about half the battle along with some other off the shelf items.

    What ever happened to U model nut Vinney ? Did the U ever get done?

    Maxidyne: Were there many Titans sold in the upper mid west for dual trailer operations? Titans should have been competative there as well as western logging and eastern coal. Not to mention lowboy service. There was an argument that Titans were over priced at 150,000 dollars or so. I would guess since Paccar has the market sowed up that they could charge what ever they want now.

    Those are wide cabs.

    Perhaps they should offer off the shelf parts for the cab interior just as you would for drive trains, chassis and suspensions.

    That is a nice truck. Show ready.

    They missed the whole era of DCF's DCO,s and Emeryvilles. They also have Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth and Mack episodes. I hope they make one on other manufacturers such as White, Ford, GM, Reo, DT and Hendrickson.

    Tell it like it is Mackattack. There are very few 505's in the trailer dump and heavy haul markets as far as I can see. The Boston area may be an exception.

    Looks like a learning curve in the process of building a truck from the ground up. Seems like it might be a throwback to a time when trucks were simple and reliable without all the bells and whistles. The fact that they are offering gliders may throw a few customers their way by using pre emissions engines.

    Front discharge mixer history was conceived in the USA. Sims from wisconsin invented the front discharge mixer and called it Riteway and he sold it to savage. Savage was bought out by Mack and Volvo dropped the Savage mixer from the Mack lineup. Sims later sold the rights to Advance. Advance was bought out by Terex and is now Terex Advance and they still make front discharge mixers. Oshkosh still makes front discharge mixers. Kimble still makes front discharge mixers. From what I can gather.

    Some bad ass looking trucks for sure. Love the 9500 style SB's.the most. I wonder if there are any still around. Might be worth importing for someone.

    What was in that Bighorn?

    GMC Generals sold many dumps in the east.

    Loved those wide grills. GM along with Penske did the US a disservice by selling out to Volvo and Daimler. White wasn't at fault other than White management over extending themselves leading the company into bankruptcy. Mack and White should have followed the Paccar model slow and easy one step at a time. I wonder if yellow still has any Brigadiers left. Mack U's , Brigadiers , L 9000's and White 9000's were great competitors back in the day.

    Their good for keeping Mack in a straight jacket and ball less. Mack engineer at a board meeting.- Lets make Mack great again by bringing back the Super Liner, offering the Cummins X12 and x15, getting back into heavy haul, and a new class seven. Volvo management-If you want to keep your job and pension - Shut the F--k up. Next question. Volvo engineer-I have a great idea to get Mack market share even lower-drop all Mack legacy components and shorten the hoods so that only the MP7 fits in. Volvo management- Sounds good I'll bring that up at the next board meeting

    Thanks for posting. What a fleet.

    Rebuilding old Mack trucks seems like a win win. To bad so many have been shipped abroad.
