I have been a Seattle Seahawks fan for 30 years, ever since they became a team!!!!!!!!!!!! So as you can figure, I am betting on the Seahawks. They say that good things come to those who wait, and I have been waiting a long time for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the GREAT reply. I apologize for it taking so long. I usually don't stretch out sales of parts that long. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Take care.

I assume that you are not going to work the truck? I am in no way trying to burst anyones bubble, but a Duplex,Triplex or Quadraplex will not hold up to a Maxidyne's torque under heavy loads. By the look of the truck I don't think you are going to work it. Just don't want to see happen to you, what I have seen before.

Would you be interested in a polished stainless steel sunvisor? Brand new.

I have a question for you. Are you going to use the original tranny or are you going to use a heavier one that will hold up to the torque of the Maxidyne?

That is going to be too cool I love stuffing big engines in little packages Turn up the fuel, RPM's and retard the timing and go have some fun!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everybody, Just thought that everyone might enjoy checking out my Corporate website. My wife makes websites, so I got a good deal The front page loads a little slow(she is going to speed it up) so please be patient. www.leftlaneexpressinc.net

Here is a picture of a late 60's R600 with a single 5" straight pipe through the hood. This is not my truck. It is owned by an old friend of my dad's. I know that this truck has been like this for about 25 years. It does still run, but he doesn't use it anymore.The picture is in the photo gallery.ty.

All right. I drove up to where the hood pipe R Model is and took a couple of pics. I will get them on either tonight or tomorrow. I will let everbody know

Which Mack do you want a picture of?

Oh yeah, almost forgot, Another friend of my dad's has aold R Model (1968 approx.) with a box sleeper,250 Thermodyne with a quadraplex. He has a straight pipe mounted through the hood! It comes out in front of the windshield near the center on the pass. side. That truck has been like that for at least 25 years!

Here is a good one for you. An old friend of my dad's had a reefer company and he only bought glider kits. Back when the T-600 first came out(early 1980's) he bought a T-600 aerodyne glider kit and put a 300 Mack engine in it. That truck ran everywhere. It was very neat to watch that truck go down the road and listen to it at the same time.

All right, I have a good topic that will be sure to get everbody started! I am thinking of converting my R685 to a R700 clone. I am thinking about a Big Cam Cummins. I have the flared frame so I don't think I will have a fitting issue. I have also in the past installed a R600 p/s gearbox on a R700 and made one long steering shaft to the steering wheel(which worked good) I am thinking of moving the cab back and putting on a R700 hood. I have a 12000# front axle. I would like to know if anybody has done this or seen it done. A friend of mine stretched a 359 Pete front end by 12" and it worked good. I really don't want to clip my front end like he did, so I opted for the idea of just moving everything back. I can always stretch the rear another 6 ft like I did before. So come on everyone, give me some ideas

Hey Superdog1986, There is an old eccentric gravel pit owner here locally who has a sales lot. He sells used trucks and heavy equipment that he picks up here and there. He has a Freightliner cabover(early 1970's) with a VT903- 13 spd RR. It has been there about 15 years. He also has a mid 70's R700 Western. I haven't looked at it to see what it has in it. It is a daycab with all dayton wheels. They are in Central Indiana.

Hi everbody and Happy Holidays. If anyone is interested, I started a photo album with a couple of my Trucks.

Mack bought Brockway in 1955, 56 or 57. I can't remember which. But I am 99% sure that it was one of the three.

I don't know exact numbers, but there were alot of them built just like that or very similar. In November of 1996 I bought a brand new 1997 "Wild Breed" CH613. 454, 18 speed, 40k rears.
