67RModel

@other dog I figure this might be your truck during a previous owner. Just guessing from the grill guard. The phone was from a thread in the other makes section. Page 5.

@h67st what ever happened to this project? Was going through the Brockway threads and remembered this one from a while back….

This might be the newest, non off road or export model, Mack and/or truck I have ever seen with spoke hubs.

Information on sleepers of this vintage is essentially non existent. There were dozens of independent sleeper manufacturers back then. I would say not a factory option. Back in those days if you wanted a sleeper you put it on in the aftermarket.

For some reason I’ve got this feeling that Trump Putin and Xi have a 3 way territorial deal. USA takes control of Venezuela. USA cuts off Ukraine support and Russia takes control of Ukraine. And finally China invades and takes control of Taiwan and USA looks the other way. Iran and Greenland are just distractions. i don’t know why I have that thought but it just seems like Russia and China were way too quite when we took control of the Venezuelan government. dunno.

“I may do that for Greenland too,” Trump said. “I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security. So I may do that.” I honestly can’t believe this Greenland thing is going down. It’s actually quite embarrassing in my opinion. The rest of the world has to be looking at this in total disbelief as well. Trump casually tried this back in 2019 and Denmark told him to kick rocks. Sounds to me like ownership is not even up for discussion. If he wants to make some other kind of security or minerals deal I don’t think this threatening demeanor is going to get us very far. This country is using up whatever good will it had left with the rest of the world at a very rapid clip.

I don't think any previous president was concerned about the policy. Maybe Biden. I don't know. I can't imagine that guy really had the capacity to be concerned about anything with his mental state while in office. I never in my life remember seeing or even hearing about I.C.E. until a year ago. And for calendar year 2025 it is reported 600,000 -605,000 were deported. A small number compared to other years. Other admins were able to deport double that number year over year and never a mention of anything. I considered the idea of TDS and MSM giving previous administrations "a pass" for whatever reason. However, I would think if previous administration's agents were tear gassing citizens, killing others, and the threat of US Military forces joining alongside I.C.E. it would have been non stop coverage at that time. Therefore, I can only deduce this is the wrong way. Article: The Obama Record on Deportations: Deporte.. | migrationpolicy.org

What about Greenland? Does anybody feel good about going down this road?

I don't have Facebook. Never have. But its the only place people seem to list their "junk" for sale anymore. I have found that using SearchTempest.com is kind of a "back door" into Marketplace without having to have a FB account. Browsing only and you have to be careful with how long you scroll or it locks you out. You have to open listings in new tabs then it "resets" in that browsing tab and you can start a new search. Its a PITA workaround but such is life. Everyone uses it now to sell their stuff and I refuse to put my information on there so I can't complain. Trouble is if I actually find something I want to buy I have get my wife to contact them for me....

He is down to 22,500 USD.

I know what he does for work. Nothing special. Probably a $75-$90k salary. With no other debt his monthly cash flow is acceptable. I think banks are currently looking for 40% or less DTI. He is now essentially "house poor". I posted up a nice looking Cruiseliner for sale to make up for it lol.

I just sold the the first house I bought when I was 24. A 75 year old 1100 square foot ranch shoe box in the Pittsburgh suburbs. It is the definition of a starter house. Cost me $730/month including taxes and insurance when I first bought it but had crept up to about $890 recently due to property tax and insurance premium increases. I thought it was a super affordable place to live at those rates. I saw at the closing the young kid that just bought it has a payment on it of $2460/month for the next 30 years. I couldn't believe it. I felt sorry for him.

That 5 speed gearbox has an odd shift pattern....

I was thinking more along the lines of the main theme or underlaying message surrounding Tommy Lee Jones’ character. If it were remade and used today as the time setting rather then the 1970s they would have no shortage of content to pick from to base the plot on

reading this forum, specifically this thread, makes me think of this film

If your dead set on Mack then for this application I would be looking for a later model CL753 or CL733 with cat or Cummins power already properly specd for Michigan special work. You could build a 700 series superliner into what you need but it probably would not make economic sense versus buying something already set up as such. Assuming you can find something reasonable to work with that isn't clapped and/or doesn't have double frame rust jacking. 1999 MACK CL753 For Sale in Lakeville, Minnesota | TruckPaper.com 2001 MACK CL733 For Sale in Anita, Iowa | TruckPaper.com

The newest superliner is 33 years old. It sounds good in theory but the chances of a superliner pulling those weights reliably is questionable. Not to mention when something does break you could potentially be spending crazy amounts of downtime chasing parts. A lot of parts for these old dogs are getting scarce or NLA. IMO it’s a bad idea to pursue.

The news cycle has moved on to Iran, Greenland, and Jerome Powell’s replacement

The 5% want market and GDP growth. In a country with stagnated fertility and declining birth rates immigration helps. The 95% want wage growth. Immigration hurts.
