  1. I think Mack was a little late to the dance with the lightweight cruiseliners. Paccar and freightliner were already on the next generation of lightweights when the cruiseliners came out. The MH would have kicked butt but then the bottom fell out for cab overs.
  2. Identical comes to mind except for software programming & valve covers.
  3. Are those the Soneco's that ended up at Tilcon. I guess they were the last Mack's purchased b y Tilcon.
  4. Great Cardi shots. Keep them coming. I believe they still run a lot of old iron.
  5. Wow to bad they were painted red Overnite paint scheme was one of the best. I wonder why the CH's never caught on with overnite. I remember seeing one test rig that was real sharp
  6. Heading down I95 in CT today I saw 3 ford long nose coventional dumps. White cabs and gray boxes. I wonder who they were for.
  7. Just making more room for those Japaneese and europeon rail car manufacturers.
  8. Vinny if only they moved the cab off to the side on the Super liners.
  9. The flathead whites were great sounding engines
  10. Vlad: Roadway had a ton of detroits in U-Models I believe both V-8's and V-6' The cab had to be raised because the detoit V's were not 90 degree V's like the cummins 903's. I believe they were abot 60 degrees making there profile higher. Couple this with the supercharger on top of the engine thus you needed a higher cab. I believe the Mack and Cummins V-8's would fit in the standard U-model such as used by St. Johnsbury and watkins.
  11. I just saw an add for dogs that like to pea indoors. Its an absorbant pad with a bulls eye on it and its called the pea terminator. Jus sayin cause young dogs have accidents. Good luck with Petey
  12. last I knew the Tilcon Branford Quarry still had one of those v8 DM 800's. still see dome of there high DM 's with the steel noses working for second life contractors. I wonder how many of these models they had.
  13. Not only more makes but more models also. On any given day there was a chance that you could go down the road and see an H model, G model, F model or cruiseliner. And also every color combo under the sun.
  14. Its funny how Mack and White both moved west and western star is still here and M ack western is long gone. As a matter of fact western star is now moving east. I think they are going to be built in North Carolina
  15. Saw a Sweeny Mack Pinnacle down in CT. It was painted white. Not as sharp as the old red and yellow scheme. Not exactly a construction truck but it was a Mass truck.
  16. Nice rugged B's. I guess the first dog can fill in as a coat hook.
  17. These people (Communists/Socialists/progressives/liberals/Dummycrats/Rinos) are dumb like a fox. They are not stupid. We are stupid. We put them in office with a lot of help from voter fraud.
  18. I think patrasite is latin for leech
  19. I believe Forrest Gump stated "Stupid is as stupid does"
  20. These types of problems couldn't happen on a mechanically popped injector from yesteryear.
  21. That is a 300-400k engine with a liitle care. Injectors are only 15 dollars a apeice compared to 350 dollars on the new ones. Repair or replace the oil pan while its out of the truck. Oil pan rust was about the only problem on a 7.3. Crankshaft sensor was another minor problem.
  22. KS I believe you are right about the unions at that time pushing management to the wall and not budging or comprimising. A lot of US companies were lost in the industrial north and midwest because of union tactics. I tend to think behind the scenes there was communist influence in the unions. Now they are trying to get a strangle hold on the public sector. Not a good trend for the rest of us.
  23. If you are behind the counter and don't have a clue don't compound it by being an A hoe
  24. KS Volvo bought White and GMC for their nationwide dealer network and the assembly plant in Virginia. What were they after with Mack other than to knock off a competetor.
