Superdog

yeah,don't know why either.most of the hood trouble I've seen on the Superliner I is cracking ang chipping along the edge that meets the cowl

wonder what shipping would cost?

From what I've heard from guys running new,the ones having the best luck are the new Macks. Heard nothing good at all about Freightliner,except for the ones buying glider kits. That's getting to be bigger and bigger,especially small operators who can't afford the downtime nitemare associated with the brand new trucks.

another little tidbit,I knocked the RH windshield out of this truck with my head when I was 12..I was riding with Rex and we got hit by a drunk. Killed both people in the car. Truck got the bumper,battery box and air tanks,cab step,bottom cab panel and fuel tank.

hope yours don't get rearranged

Yep,love those Bandag Mega-Trek retreads. Don't worry about turning you 1/4 fender flaps around,

That was a problem area on the Superliner II . It can be fixed,I've had a couple of mine fixed,body man reinforced area with metal.

been doing a little work on my little Cruiseliner picked up a Ramcharger also picked up this old mobile office,it's going to be the new official welcome center for my "museum",going to line it with shelves to display my old Mack toys,tools,and memorobilia These R models belong to a friend of mine another friend of mine got this for me at a farm auction near his place,mid to late '40's EG Mack this was it's hiding spot for the last 50 yrs. This poor old 370 GMC wasn't so lucky,it got bought by the scrapper that bought about 80% of everything that sold.

how u been getting along with the Vision?

those wheels really set it off

I do but I shoulda been at the auction when it sold for less than $2500. I had told the farmer several times to let me know when he was tired of it.but he never did say a wordd,he took it to the auction lasst minute decision so it wasn't advertised,I found out too late

That truck used to belong to my Grandpa,the man that bought it new had a heart attack and laid it over with only 36k miles on it. Our local dealer bought it from the insurance co. and put a brand new cab on it. Grandpa bought it and it was driven almost exclusively by Rex Richenberger, I did put a few miles on it myself,though,It got traded in 1986 for a MH613,a local farmer bought it and ran it several years,The original aluminum frame got bad,so he bought another Cruiseliner with a bad engine,but a steel frame,unbolted it at the frame horns and replaced the back half. He took it to the truck auction after buying a CH,it went to WI,then I lost track of it until it appeared in Wheels of Time for sale,then it disappeared again until I saw it on FB after Brayden bought it.

ok,I'll keep looking

I found a full set of 10 and he said he would part with them,but they are 22.5 instead of 24.5.

Happy Birthday

That's going to look great when you get it painted.

sometimes it's stamped pretty light,you really gotta look hard

Loading hogs at Lee county fair Saw this interesting track set up on a old JD tractor Always good to see this Flooding on the Illinois river at Beardstown,this grain terminal won't be loading barges for a day or so. girl in a car loading corn been a hot week cut this axle out of an old White for a friend of mine so he can put budds on his old White farmer owned Superliner,been trying to convince him he needs to get a CH and sell this to me. my name in lights

if you can't find any close to home,I know of a set on a friends truck ,I'm sure he would trade for regular ones

I think I've explained this 1000 times,in 1966 Mack introduced the Maxidyne engine,these engines were painted gold and all MAXIDYNE ENGINE EQUIPPED Macks had gold Bulldogs.Didn't matter what transmission,athough 95% of all Maxidynes had Mack transmissions,and it didn't matter what rear ends were. During the 1980 model year,Mack had to quit using the gold engine paint,but the gold Bulldog remained until 1981. By this time the 1st generation of Econodyne engines were being produced and the gold Bulldog went away until the early '90's they were brought back on the hood of the Elite package CH and CL trucks. Then in 95 or 96 they started putting them on the all Mack component trucks and this remains to this day.

The B with the cast radiator isn't a SE,the guy that restored and actually used this truck,Calvin Cochran,put a B81 radiator in it just to be different.a little known story about this truck, Calvin had another B61 sleeper cab he was rebuilding,so he was running this one while he worked on the other. He stopped at a truck show and the late Bill Moon saw the truck and really liked it. He told Calvin to name his price,not really wanting to sell it,he gave what he thought was a pretty high asking price,but Bill said sold and wrote him a check.Calvin tried to back out on the deal because he needed this truck to haul steel while the other was getting finished,but Bill just said to keep it and drive it until he had the other done,then bring it out to Iowa. The BM is one of Brown's old trucks.

Believe me,it was even more fun in person.

It's a B81,but it has the radiator from a B815,the original was either missing or damaged beyond repair,can't remember what Larry told me.It's owned by a BMT member from St.Louis,Larry Pruitt aka FIREMAN,and the radiator came a BMT member in MI,JohnnyMackJr.

Well,it was a good show as always. I didn't get to spend all the time I wanted to there,we got the G73 and my borrowed golfcart there Wed. nite about 8,got to do a little looking and visiting,then had to go home,worked all day Thurs.5 am to 1 am Fri. then had to work most of the day Friday,didn't get there till about 5:30. Then it started raining while I was out taking pics after breakfast Sat. am and rained until about 3 pm,then it cleared up. This hurt the old truck numbers some,quite a few pulled out and the ones that usually came for Sat. didn't . Rob & family took Wendy and I out to supper Sat. nite,that pretty much wrapped up the show.I'll post some pics in another post.
