  1. I am with you Swishy. Cat and Mack. Let Volvo ressurect White and Autocar conventional
  2. The unseen hands behind the scenes call for the assassinations and then are carried out by third parties. Good preachin there Rowdy Rebel.
  3. Your Macks are ahead also.
  4. With a little work that could be a 10,000 truck
  5. That blue R is kick butt nice.
  6. Looks like a 345,000 volt transformer.
  7. What company are the 30 new Granites. Nice factory photos. Wait I know American Industries.(Guessing) Those KW's were starting to sag in the back. Are you going to keep an RD-CL and R
  8. Dark green and pale green as I remember.
  9. I remember as a kid the newspapers and radio would advertise that something big was coming to Chicago. One time it was Folgers coffee and the next tie it was Eazor Express
  10. Would make a great motor home
  11. Vlad. That top one was the one I saw. As they say in Russia that's the cats meow. LOL
  12. Saw a twin steer MH with long wheelbase on face book. What an aw some looking truck. Any body have any pictures of these.
  13. I don't see any rear discharge mixers in Ct. Why are they more popular out west I hear front mixers are more expensive and harder to work on.
  14. Goog I didn't think that was a superliner either with that side view.
  15. Red Horse. Add to that and they are looking at acquiring Mack from Volvo.
  16. Not as oooogly as the set back axle Cat but still oogly On second thought it's not that bad.
  17. I'm guessing about 250,000 lbs
  18. Perfect amount of bling. Nice color combo.
  19. Can't beat those old adds. I believe that small cab 9000 was about 1955. Also notice the split wind shield(Never saw one of those). The small cab 9000 was my favorite White. Roadway had a ton of these back in the 50's along with B model Mack's.
  20. Simple Lund visor is the best. IMHO
  21. It would have turned out that Fiat would own Mack
  22. 87 R just getting broke in.
  23. Who would be potential buyers of Scania?
  24. In the 50's and 60's Roadway had lots of Mack's. H models, F models and B-61 and 67"s. At that time there predominant truck was probably the small cab white 9000. They also had cracker boxes and IH emeryvilles. Later on they had R's, U's and F's. Roadway bought from just about every truck manufacturer. I never saw any Peterbilts but they did have a few KW's. Towards the end before the Yellow merger I believe they were mostly White, White/ GMC and freightliner. The strong relationship between Roadway and White may have been that they both were from Ohio. The CH's in the current fleet are mostly ex ABF's. YRC currently has 5 or 6 pinnacles as test tractors
  25. KS Thanks for the history lesson on Signal and Mack. As for the unions of this era I couldn't agree more. They pushed management to the wall time and time again in company after company. The end results were companies closing there doors or moving over seas. May bee you can give us a lesson on the move to South Carolina and the disaster that was. The CH CL and E-7 came out about that time and got off to a slow start. Fleets such as Overnite and Roadway long time Mack users didn't jump on the CH band wagon. The 90's seemed to be Mack's downfall that led to the Volvo takeover of Renault and Mack.
