The Mack ultra Liner got retired way before its time. That truck could still be reintroduced today and it would be up to date

I remember adds for the stars and stripes Macks in 71 or 72

Doesn't get much better than a valueliner.

I believe Mack was going to manufacture van trailers in about 1970 or so. I remember seeing an old ad for this.

As I recall I think Mad dog nailed it. I saw the ENDT 673 205's in 1960 0r 1961.

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.

Do you have any Ulrichs? I remember when they were $ 2.99 per kit.. That was a lot of money then.

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.

What kind of wood do you use in your spokes? Hickory I bet.

One of these is stilli running around Connecticut. A white one for Clark running petroleum out of Cromwell I believe.

:twothumbsup:Looks like you would need an M-100 for that pair.

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.

Is a polished peterbilt a peterski.

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.

Vinny.Looks like your going to be a Mack expert yet

Good old thermodyne 170. Would run forever.

Better to pay a little extra than miss out on what you want. Same goes for ebay when they say buy it now. If its perfect for your needs then buy it now and the heck with the auction.. I guess theoretically the auction could be higher than the buy it now price.

I guess I'm getting blind on top of deef. I was trying to stop the video but couldn't control the technology. Don't know why they don't have a front discharge mixer. I guess it wouldn't fit on a V_____ chassis.. Don't know why they don't try putting one on a Mack low forward chassis.

Saw a video on you tube about the world of concrete show. I think they were doing a walk around of the Mack MHD. In the background there was a yellow mixer with Mack in black letters on the drum. Funny thing was the mixer was a front loader. Anybody know any thing about this.

How many people are on the watts Webb site? Let's say 1000. Then. 1000x100=100,000. Let's say10,000 then 10,000x100=1,000,000. Seems like we run out of enough members pretty quickly. Additionally Volvo would have to put it up for sale. What would the new mack use for components. Engine _Cummins Transmissions-mack-Eaton-Allison ,suspensions-camel back-hendrickson, rears-mediator-Eaton. Not much different than the. Competition. At least they would have their own independent engineering section.

I was at tractor supply on Saturday and I picked up a copy of wheels of time. The feature article was a real nice spread on Hendrickson. Gave a real good description of the company history. One interesting note was that surprisingly the last Hendrickson truck sold was a 2010 model VT. It looked like similar to the HME. I guess they finally went under because they just couldn't build a good plastic truck as they were steeped in the steel tradition.

Yes sir BCR. I remember mostly twin screw Hendricksons for Crystal Lake. They were cummins powered for the most part with one Harnischfegger that you could distinctly hear its 2 cycle sound. That was back in the days when you could tell all of the power plants by there distinctive sounds. 6-71's /from NH cummins/ from Mack 673's /from IH red diamonds /from white flat head gasers /from Mack gasers. The White flatheads were really cool sounding (real deep roar). You could tell the difference between the NA 673's and the turbo 205's. These engines you could hear from miles away. Not so anymore with the plane Jane (Sorry Jane) white cookie cutters on the roads today. Those were the days when there pretty much weren't any white trucks but plenty White Motor Corporation trucks. But I digress from Hendrickson. If I am not mistaken Hendricksons were as plentiful as IH White and A-Car. Mack was king in Chicago land though. Paccar was non existant at that time.

There was a movie made once in nyc I believe with loads of B model dumps and A-Cars. Then there was that stupid movie with all of the trucks circling the gas station. That may have been the one with the nice cinnamon colored B-61 that went over the cliff. Shamefull.

They ran A's B's and R's also

I am guessing that engine is Colt-Pielstic
