Maybe check your truck against this schematic. http://www.suspensionspecialists.com/techinfo/Bepco_Air_Brake_Trbl_Chart.pdf

Like Paul said, check the wiki and you can use the search feature to find info on the forum. I would recommend the book "Mack, A Living Legend of the Highway" by John Montville. Lots of info and Mack history featured.

That is a mistake. Don't think the 9000 design was even on the drawing board in 1943.

That's all I got. Wish I had more.

Autocar with Cummins.

White with Cummins.

Mack with Cummins.

Cummins Autocar.

You are right. Early "flat" back versus the +3 later cab.

Cummins equipped Freightliner.

Interesting.....usually "suits" are the ones that write the checks.

I remember that advertising campaign. Cummins also featured an Autocar and a White, if I recall correctly.

I looked at a brochure for an aluminum chassis and it shows a 33.5" inside measurement. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/tutorials/article/86-rw-superliner-brochure/

Hey Mike, I was typing as fast as I can.

Yes, Glendale, CA had a 1954 fire truck made from the iconic Mack LT. It is interesting to see a convertible LT! I don't know if Engine 6 later became Engine 23 or if they had two 1954s, one yellow and one red? Scroll down. http://www.usfirepolice.net/ca_glendale_retired_engine.html

Changing gauge is no big deal. Stewart Warner still had a gauge face that was a pretty good match to the original last I looked.

With all components in proper working order, 180 is where you want to be. Working hard, the upper limit should be 200.

Rack and boxes look good! Barely can get a credit card between the boxes and fuel tanks.

Hope it goes smoothly! Hmmm.....wonder what the weather will be like the week after next....? Maybe a little warmer.

Maybe Pomfret, Vermont??? I will try for the cereal serial number next time I see it.

Now stationed with Worcester Sand and Gravel.

Maybe she does this shit so no one thinks of her as being part of the 1% club. It is all about the $$$.

I have seen it For Sale every now and then. I think his wife threatens for him to sell the Mack. It goes For Sale but the price is so high that no one buys the truck. He then can tell her that he did have the truck for sale... Last ad listed the price at $150,000.

RL (light) was started in 1967 from Mack's Hayward, CA factory with more engine and transmission options for the western states and utilized a lot of aluminum parts including rails. The RS was the companion truck with steel rails. The DM introduced in 1966 is a Dump Mixer chassis with the offset cab similar to the U model but with a much heavier chassis and associated components for severe duty. The RD introduced in 1970 was a similar severe duty chassis as the DM but with the traditional center mount R cab with a fiberglass or steel butterfly hood. The BCR was a Mack factory kit to convert a good B model chassis into what appeared to be an R model. The Mack part number included a new R cab, hood and all the parts and pieces to do the conversion. Also, with the kit, was a BCR emblem for the side of the cab.

I hear you on keeping it safe. Not mine but is sure pretty!
