  1. I need to replace the boot on my 12 speed. It was and has been shot as long as I've owned it. Is there a slick way to fit all those air lines through a boot? I haven't had any success finding a boot through Mack that would fit my early Superliner with the 5"x7" opening. Love to see or hear what others do. Thanks
  2. Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? Is it a retrofit, or some option to get away from the axle mount steering gear? The frame on a Superliner 1 gets pretty narrow (weak?) where this box is mounted. Looks like the original Sheppard gear minus the sub-assembly... very interesting. https://www.purplewave.com/auction/241121A/item/EH2873/1980-MACK-RWS766LST-Trucks-Truck_Tractor-Iowa
  3. Yeah!? How about that? Very interesting. I’ve never studied on a 865/6 V8 engine mounting to see how it compares to the E9, perhaps it would fit?
  4. Does anyone know what the production numbers on the all aluminum F model cabs was? Did a “FL700L” indicate aluminum cab as well as frame rails?
  5. You may be thinking of the early V8, the 864(?). I believe it was available in twin turbo form. But I'm fairly certain the E9 was a single turbo only engine for Mack truck operation.
  6. My Superliner 1 has heated mirrors, but they are pretty ugly, glass too, but the elements are still good and work Is it possible to swap over the elements(etc) into non-heated mirrors? Found a beautiful set, but they aren't heated.. Don't have access to any to compare in my hands (I'm talking about the bulldog mirrors) Thanks
  7. F16's on American roads would have caused quite a stir. Joining in the fun of BIG power in the USA at that time.
  8. Driven responsibly, does that set-up return reasonable fuel mileage?
  9. No.. He scrapped it. I was just there last week.. It was pretty rough, would have taken quite a lot to get roadworthy... but the hood was good. No title and wanted $2500.
  10. Fuel tanks straps or steps?
  11. I tried to buy that Road Boss at least ten years ago. Guy that owned it was a contractor for fedex. Had all kinds of old iron. Farm equipment etc. I don’t think he really wanted to sell it even though it was advertised .. more like someone was onhis neck to let stuff go. Something was the matter with the clutch, truck wouldn’t move
  12. I'd like to find a few of those original lug nut covers.. anybody have some?
  13. Anybody know if this was an option on Superliners? Or was this a one-off? Anybody have any other images of this paint job? Thanks
