worse then the lost dentures ; it the loss of "where's the manual "; what am i suppose to do " . younger days it was called what wet dreams are made of . in the "golden yrs" the wet dreams are solved by depends LOL 😁 nice Mack

even in the day brand new they were costly compared to other toys. i had a B tandem with custom built chrome tanker. chassis was yellow/green. had chance to buy two of them. $1500.oo for two back then was alot of $$$ for young guy raising a family. sure wish i bought them both today.

found them; but can they drive a mack..LOL personal opinion only. i like a good chassis in jeans, white tee ;long dark hair under baseball hat riding on back seat of a harley. on the bike usually has a great personality also.just sayin

another reason the golden years aren't great at all ..😂

i knew a girl got two implants; they sure looked nice' don't know what they cost her ;; i'm sorry couldn't help my self. LOL

that's why i don't carry a gun; some unfortunate bast----d might make a comment about the "golden years" being so great.

none of it is trivial stuff . it's the little known history that keeps the mental status going along with the hands on mechanical knowledge, its all good.

I would have gladly offered my assistance today; have another project which took priority; have big hole in house wall changing over AC units. some one mounted a window unit in the wall. major changes to install new wall unit.

so many things in life we all take for granted, same as the history behind the Mack bulldog . I know the bulldog changed it's appearance ; never knew who or why it was done. todays world change is usually done to make a product cheaper. the Bulldog changes possibly the squared off profile looks bold ??

do you remember seeing the blue R700 western at the factory on pines bridge in beacon falls ct

bulldog on the front of my '77 ford had a winter hat made to keep his ears warm .

now we all know it's NOT the best you can do ;;; it's what you could do on last minute notice😆. dog was probably upset he didn't have time to prep for photo session and wouldn't smile THAT's why you didn't take photo of his face 😁😁 LOL

kept looking at those legs ; didn't remember the solid back. wasn't aware of knock offs jc whitney- im thinking the store; duh , jc whitney the auto catalog. i took a R-model base with bulldog mounted it on my '77 F-350 . dog was from the '70's had the square features.

there is no doubt this is a site dedicated to mack (and other makes of trucks)/ HD equipment and the like. these vehicles are built, operated, repaired by humans. it takes a human to run the robots. all humans need a spot to vent. discuss their bottled up feeling. the purpose of ; off the wall;;shop talk forums are for such venting, i would much rather see the off topic forums then read the news about another mass shooting due to someone holding in the frustrations that should be vented. there are those proud to live off the system, and those OF US that are paying for the free loaders, as a member of the Knight of Columbus ;; yes they did change the wording on vest for fund raiser from mentally retarded to mentally challenged. can't please everyone anymore. world is so worried about being "politically correct "while at the same time the world is going to sh-t. NOW is everyones mack running ok today!!!

correct on the number of yrs .the early dogs had the more rounded features. the "new/(improved?????) version has the square look. those ears look quite square , tough call. either way it's a nice find. have to wonder how/why it got there. is there a B-model lurking under the water !LOL

your Uncle made it "HOME" ; a home far better then the world we live in. I have 5 = 1/48 scale B-17's models waiting for build. to honor those who didn't make it back.🛫🦅

i wouldn't do that; i figure the two of them might be there.

anyone on this site know who bought the R model???

how nice it must be to have the proper equipment to make a project sooo much easier/safer.cab looking great

SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS . i try to be positive thinking based on this world situation; i'm some what glad for my Father he's not here to see this world mess. thick -headed Polak never told anyone the pain he was in. cancer count 1-10;; doc said Dad was 100. strong armed farmer cried just trying to stand up. Dad had two brothers ; both POW's ,one received the Purple -heart. I saw his back one summer day; the shrapnel did a hel-- of a mess. we have this freedom at the high cost of so many.

update for anyone interested and forgot. the R model at auction in manchester CT sold for $7000.oo. possibly someone on this forum was the winning bid ?

i never was good at math LOL and His hat didn't say which one. i know the news now and then will report on the passing of the few WWII heros left and they are in high 90's or 100 yrs old. my Father left us 25 yrs ago and He was 73 ;adding those numbers He would have been 98 . now i really feel old,

such a loss. east coast was always Mack country in the day. to see a western Mack roll in had all eyes staring. they just had a "Look" beyond the working mack appearance. remember seeing my first aluminum frame rails on a western; " nope it's gonna break " LOL . DM triple steel frame and here's this alum.

Thanks for update; latest pictures look good .

not as a pat on my back; i still stop and salute the few remaining WWII Veterans. another group of "first responders" forgotten. back of my jeep has three full size decals saluting the Veterans. went to get a burger other day , this WWII veteran "walks" in with his girlfriend = both 91 yrs old. such a positive picture. i asked the waitress for their bill and paid it . asked not to say who did it but she told them. He and his girlfriend were the happiest couple. told my wife " i just got the best birthday present ever. and He returned the salute i gave him😂
