Superdog

Nice haul,Will.

A wise old man told me along time ago,if you can't afford tires,you can't afford the truck.Legal or not,I'd never,ever run recaps on the steer axle.

Well,personsonally I don't think they hold a candle to the Superliner II in the looks department,they look too much like a Titan,and I'm no Titan fan.I sure wouldn't trade any of mine for a whole boatload of those.

18 speed Fuller and 3:73's

They are apologizing to him?????? I've heard it all now.

I was thinking the same thing

Unless the guy backs out,these are sold.

Figures it would be clear out in CA with a price that I could swing.cost twice that to get it home.

good luck,keep us posted

Damn there are some nice ones there,that western F and early Cruiseliner,for sure.The old F in MI has the dual air intakes,pretty rare to find today.

I have some NOS headlight panels and fender panels for F models,the bigger stuff is very,very,very scarce.

any of you guys see Pawn Stars last week,the Old Man had several 5 gallon buckets of pre-82 pennies he was hoarding. said he was going to scrap them,but they told him that wasn't legal.When the show ended they were rolling them.

anything $2500 or under would be a good buy,anything over that depends on how bad you want it.

why did you park the good trucks in the far end of the back row??

no comparison,Mack

That's one thing that scares me about this truck,it is aluminum frame and has been stretched.

I think that 's the first hard nose DMM I've ever seen,cool as hell.

OK,here's my chance to piss some people off,but I've never been one to beat around the bush.I'm as against exporting our old Macks as much as anybody,and I've probably saved more old Macks from the crusher than 90% of the people in here,but the people to blame for all these old trucks being available for export is today's drivers.If I have big trucking company made up of old R models with 300's and 5 speeds and Cruiseliners,and MH's on camelback, and my competion has brand new Visions,,Volvos,KW's and Petes with A/C,CD players,heat,P/S,air ride,autoshift,cruise,big bunks and fancy seats,whose seats are going to be filled??????Granted there are a few of us hardcore guys that drive the old equipment with pride and are damned happy doing so,but we are very,very ,very few and far between when it comes to the big picture. And the days of Overnite and Smith Transfer and Matlack are gone,guys,They'd buy new F's and R's run them 10 years and fefurb them and run them some more.When they finally got traded,there was a good US market for them,farmers,local haulers,poor O/O's all ran old R's and F's and U's but now those same farmers and other 2nd hand buyers want 379 Petes with 425 Cats,and W900's and Classic FL's and the ones that don't give a shit buy the IH 9400's and Volvo's and Columbias.OK,so we got all these R models and DM's and MH's and Superliners on the market,chances are good that the some if not most of the best will find good homes here,then we got the ones nobody wants.The guys in Africa and S.America have some of the toughest conditions on the planet and they need the toughest trucks on the planet,and they got the money,which unfortunately $$$ means alot more to Joe Trucksalesman than the history of Mack trucks.So they buy up the old ones right and left,and parts right and left.Now,contrary to what some of you have seen and heard,Most of these trucks get cared for as good or better there than here.Yes,there are some that don't,but there are some that don't here too.Look at the pics from Puerto Rico that EM285 posts,those guys down there love there Macks too.So,what do we do?One thing you can do if you don't like Macks leaving the country is go out,put your money where your mouth is and each person in here needs to buy 150 Macks,already got my 150,so I'm done.What is there 3000 memebers or so?that's 450,000 trucks saved,problem solved.Otherwise just sit back and save the ones you can,and hope the rest go to the good homes,where they continue to uphold the old Mack legacy as the Greatest Name in Trucks.I'm done,throw stones if you like.

That's been on here before quite awhile back,love to have it but priced to high for me.

2007,it had 512k on it when we got it.

That grille was a PITA to put in.The 9 light deal kinda pissed me off,not so much that he put the extra lights on,but for the fact he took the horns off.It does have the same hi spot,but you gotta look really close to tell.

if you got an '04,you got bigger problems to worry about than a transmission.

Dad's 1980 Cruiseliner had a real VIN,WS786LST51059,my '81 R model has a 17 digit one so somewhere in between the '80 and '81 model years

the T309 is a manual transmission

Got the blue one back,but I'm going to get some work done on it before I start driving it again.Going to change injectors and do a little tweaking to try and get the fuel mileage up.The red one's running on about 20 gal. less fuel a day doing the same thing,plus hauling 4000 lbs more legal weight per trip.That adds up to quite a bit at the end of the week. That quonset building is just cold storage where we park our trailers,store tires,etc.,it's 40 x 240.Dad's shop is right across the street,it's a 40x60.
