    Should be able to turn those Mack's into Shackers in no time Does appear to be a pretty decent operation per their website

    Shaw is a nice H'r

    Theakerstwo: Back in the Roadway time frame you were referring to (F leetstar/ B67)-I believe the H ,F and B Mack's of that era all had Mack engines(May bee some F's with Cummins), the whites and IH's all had Cummins engines, this was before the era of V6&8 Detroit's in the Mack's or Whites. That era did have some cracker boxes with Detroit's. I don't recall ever seeing any Roadway Cannonballs.

    I believe St Johnsbury had 903's in their U models. I used to see and hear them out of the Springfield Mass terminal. They were low hood U's. KS- did the 8V-71's require a U high hood. I thought they did due to the 60 degree block with the supercharger on top.

    Probably why they had every truck brand under the sun. Never saw a Peterbilt.

    So it sounds like the most important thing to remember is not the year necessarily but weather the engine is an AI e-tech or an AC e-tech

    Do they still use Mack's in coal country? Probably almost no tractors.

    Dual axle old school.

    To bad they killed off that nice B61 in maximum overdrive.

    Congratulations to Cummins. Nice to see the X15's lined up to go into the new Mack Superliner

    Euro cab overs look pretty decent head on but that side view downward slope to the front is just plain ugly.

    Definitely CF green from that time. Too bad the CF logo was missing. I don' t think the 673 205 hp would have held up as this was before the piston oil cooling and other 673 turbo improvements.

    What will Ford be using in Nascar going forward? The only thing left will be the mustang.

    Headlights

    I wonder if the Pete and Acar trashers ride like a bucking bronco on the highway.

    Move over Mack or get run over by Western Star.

    I wonder what the specs are on that granite tractor with the lowboy.

    Who are the cab makers that are still in business? TCM, Mayflower?

    Awsome orange machines. When Mack ruled heavy haul.

    That picture is a PA produced Mack. If they were evaluating the western F's they may have not followed through because of poor build quality in Hayward (as Mr. Karbel stated about the early Cruiseliners from Hayward). Also if they were evaluating the eastern F models, they may have been to heavy. Since CF was a coast to coast carrier the maxidynes of that era may not have worked well in the western mountains. Then again Detroits and Cummins were offered in the F's of that time. Price and delivery times may have been an issue also. More insight is needed.

    I saw a picture on facebook which really floored me. It was a Consolidated Freightways Mack F model 50 in BBC. The caption stated that it probably was from a company that they bought out. It was done up in the later year white paint scheme with the red and green stripes. I wonder what company that might have been from. The only Mack's I ever saw for CF were the CH's from the 90's. I would think that would be a collectable photo.

    How did the Cummins compare to the Maxidyne as far as torque. 907 for the Maxidyne
  25. james j neiweem
    Sure beats the CL/CH
