Superdog

if he got rid of that R700 for a 359,he got the short end of the stick,big time

Great Smokey Roadblock,his KW was named Elenor.

always thought the B stood for engine brake equipped?

wow,busted hood,crappy grille,crappy mismatched tires,crappy rims,steel tanks and battery boxes,screws missing in the dash,and it still brings $20k.

14,18 or 20 speed??

I've known guys to derate their 460's to 427's,said they pulled better and got better fuel mileage.

I heard these guys had a brand new Cruiseliner glider kit still unbuilt,this was a few years ago,they might have built it by now.A neighbor's Cruiseliner was supposed to have ended up in their fleet but never could confirm it,it was a '78 WS712LST stretched out to about 210" w.b.

Looks like it was a nice truck,somebody put the grille in upside down,though.Saw a new one get delivered that way once.

Very little info on this engine,it was the forerunner of the E9 and had a real short production. When the Superliner II came out,they kept the 400 hp E9,raised the E9-440 to 450 hp,an added the E9-500.

His name was Robert. Gene Murphy owned the Mass 10 truckstop

The Superliner I could be ordered with the ENDT865,ENDT866,ENDT1005,and then later the E9-400 and the E9-440.

That's for sure,rare to see one in that kinda shape that someone hasn't stole it.

the roof ,around the windshield and headlight buckets were fiberglass,everything else was aluminum.

why?????????

Robert Murphy,Custom Truck Upholstery.Got a complete diamond tuck interior from him for my first B-61,less than $500 in 1984.He did nice work.Sure would like to know whatever happened to that F model cab he had made into a trailer.

Magnum Edition bunk warmer,a very expensive option.

Those ads ran back in the early '90's I think,There were several,one showed a Bulldog with goggles and his feet braced heading into a windstorm,caption said"Nothing breaks wind like a Bulldog".Another had the Bulldog with FLAMES AND SAID SOMETHING LIKE "HAVE YOU SEEN THE 500 HP MACKS?"I think there was one of a Bulldog in space,and then the one with the wine glass.

i'm pretty sure they new what they were doing in the '70's,they had the 865 and 866,plus any other engine made by Cat,Cummins and Detroit.The F model was about the best cabover to drive as anyone ever built,the 86" cab was pretty much standard with every other COE built at the time.The big bunk trucks were staring to appear,but were very few and far between because of the length laws at the time.The R model had just as much cab space as a 359 or W900,but the conventionals weren't near as numerous back then either because of the length laws.When I was a kid riding out west with Dad,95% of the trucks running the interstate were single bunk COES.Plus,the owner operator market wasn't near as big in the '70's as it has been since deregualtion.Mack had a huge market share in the '70's because of fleets like UPS,Roadway,Overnite,Matlack,Smith,Garret,Mushroom,etc.,they all loved the Maxidyne,and the F,R,and U models,but deregulation killed most of them off.

Neway tags were pretty popular,as was Page & Page.Homade set ups using old trailer axles was probably the most common.

if I was only 15 min. away,I'd be there every day.

I'm thinking my axle was built to be used as a pusher axle,that's why the center is dropped for driveshaft clearance,but was put on as a tag instead.It was added after delivery so no info was given on the build sheet.

that's what my sleepercab B has,too,Neway.

air vents?

congrats again,been along time since I've seen bumpers that straight.
