67RModel

I think the Scania was just offered in the 400 and 600 Series DMs and R models. More power than 150. More like 190 or 210 I think.

I saw this Superliner at the auction and knew it was special. I was thinking the same thing he was in that it was very poorly advertised. I thought about sending the information along to Danny Thomas out in Oregon since its a Western Mack and so "rare" but I forgot about it and then ran out of time. I'm not a huge Superliner fan or a fan of vendor engine Macks so it didn't interest me too much but I knew it was special and would bring some hefty money even though it wasn't well advertised. I was surprised to see it pop up in the background of Sam's videos about a month or so ago. I have met Matt before when I was selling some old cat D2s, D4s and a cable job D8 but never met Sam before. They both live pretty close by to me. I was kind of surprised when I heard him say he was considering modifying the chassis and switching out the hubs. Other than paint/lettering, swapping the steer tires to tubeless, or all 10 to tubeless if he's going to work it a bit, modifying anything on that truck would be a crime IMO.

I would not call it a steal but that is a heck of a good price considering he drove it to the Cortland show. You can't buy anything for less than $3500 anymore and lets be real. A $3500 truck ends up costing you $15,000 before you can even take it around the block once....

Here are two at an auction ending tomorrow. Could probably win them for $20. I highly doubt anyone is going to bid on those old dinosaurs lol. I see your in Michigan so it probably not worth your time but I just saw these the other day and remembered them when I saw your post. I'm not sure what rim width is specified for a 385mm tire or how 18-22.5 relates to a 385 metric but I imagine these would be wide enough and appear to be for tubeless. Lot #290 Joe R.

That is interesting. Honestly, that engine doesn't really look like the other Scania engines I have seen in Macks before, which have been very limited. The ones I have seen in early 80s R models If I remember correctly had 3 separate heads. This version seems to have a single head. Also, I thought the Scanias were a late 70s, 80s thing. Didn't realize they existed back in '73. Interesting. Those two DMs would be neat to have just because of the uniqueness of them. The frames and chassis are in near perfect condition and they will probably sell for next to nothing.

Yes. going to a shorter, smaller diameter tire will result in lower top speed and more pulling power at equal rpms. By how much you would need to know the revs/mile of a 1200 tire versus an 1100 series and then run your calculation. That information is published by the tire manufacturers.....

Didn't know where to put this one. Here or in the for sale section. This 1973 400 series DM is coming up for auction in a few weeks. There is actually a pair of them this 73 and a 74 but they are specd the same. They are DM487Sxxxx. I don't think I have ever seen this engine before. I think this was well before the times you could get a Scania so what is this? Also these trucks have a strange Eaton 13 speed I have never seen before. They actually have 15 different gears but 13 progressive. RT6613... 1973 MACK DM400 | Online Auctions | AuctionTime.com 1974 MACK DM400 | Online Auctions | AuctionTime.com

This 1956 B-61 Dump just sold today for $6000. I thought that was a pretty good buy. The truck looked excellent from the photos. Didn't seem like there was a lot of interest in it. Just two guys going back and forth on it.

I doubt it. Somebody can correct me here but I imagine if the oil pressure is low enough to cause major engine damage it will shut off and not restart. I would think an ETech would have these electronic protections by 1999. This happened to me with a model year 1994 DDEC III Series 60 Detroit and the engine shut down light came on. I used the override button for a time but got to a point where it shut itself off and wouldn't restart. I have a more detailed write up on it somewhere here on the forum with the whole story but what it amounted to was the #5 injector was seriously malfunctioning dumping lots of raw fuel into the cylinder and getting past the rings. Crankcase was so overfull that when I drained it out the mixture was so thin I was able to dump it back in the fuel tank of an old farm tractor and it burned it like regular off road fuel. Not a lick of damage to the engine. I think I got lucky but I also think that if the oil pressure is too low the ecm will protect itself from an idiot 🤣. Mine went from running normal to broke down in less than 2 hours and yes there was very noticeable signs and symptoms but I kept running it. I was young, dumb, and an idiot. As far as I know that engine was removed from the truck when I sold it and put in a much newer truck and as far as I know is still running like a sewing machine to this day. In my case it suddenly developed a very noticeable noise. From within the cab while driving it sounded like an exhaust leak so I kept going. Then when it all came to a head I was on a major interstate in an 8 or 10 mile long single lane construction zone with jersey barriers on each side. Nowhere to pull over. Fun times.....

Those tables are in the E6 and E7 engine overhaul and service manuals

I am just curious if the blue house right along the road in the foreground of the attached photo was destroyed. Also, It might be too soon to ask but do you think any of this will be covered by any type of insurance?

Was browsing the auctions today and saw the Hendrickson from this thread is selling today. @storkmack was fixing it up about two years ago. He hasn't been on the forum since June of 2023. Anyway I saw it for sale and remembered this thread so I thought I would post an update. This truck has been around a good bit lol. I'd love to have a Hendrickson in my collection some day and this one would be perfect, however I just purchased a farm and "frivolous" expenditures just aren't in the cards right now. 🤣 1967 HENDRICKSON BD410F12 | Online Auctions | AuctionTime.com

I couldn't help but wonder if there was a Google street view of this area (Old Fort Rd). Turns out there is. For context this is what the last image Dean posted on Monday looked like prior to the hurricane (March 2023) I have reattached it for a side by side reference....Insane to say the least.

In the 80s Mack did not make their own sleepers or build trucks with integral sleepers until the CH model came out. A buyer or company would have to have an after market unit installed after they purchased the truck or possibly the dealer could have before they delivered it to the customer. Because of this the sleeper could have been from a variety of makers. The two most common brands that got put on Macks of that time were Able Body and Rest Rite. But like I said the sleeper at that time could have been anything. I think Geography played a big role on what sleeper got put on a Mack back in those days. Where was Beelman from?
