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 -
I like the stripes. Did the truck stay in Canada?

The New Interstater Cab
Outbehindthebarn replied to Superdog's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
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? -
Why so few F models?
Outbehindthebarn replied to Ditchdiggerjcf's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
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? -
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.

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

When Freightliner ran Volvo in America
Outbehindthebarn replied to kscarbel's topic in Other Truck Makes
F16's on American roads would have caused quite a stir. Joining in the fun of BIG power in the USA at that time. -
Increasing hp on E7 350
Outbehindthebarn replied to Poor dump trucker's topic in Engine and Transmission
Driven responsibly, does that set-up return reasonable fuel mileage? -
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.

Fuel tanks straps or steps?

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

Thanks Vlad.

I'd like to find a few of those original lug nut covers.. anybody have some?
-
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

(Asking for friend in Holland, not my truck) Looking for confirmation on the installation procedure for the thermostat install on E9. Bulletin shows installation tool, and has note on the bottom.. does the sleeve come out with the tool? Or Does it stay with teflon? Friend says it's not closing after opening.

Normal might be too strong, but I've seen that passenger seat in several Macks over the years.

E9 Cruiseliner
Outbehindthebarn posted a topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I have only ever seen one.. does anyone have production numbers on E9 Cruiseliners? -
It is the M60. My father's involvement in Vietnam is almost entirely unknown to me, but I do know that he carried the M60. . . and that after being drafted, and subsequently sent to Alaska (Fort Greely?) to dig potatoes and haul trash, he volunteered to go to Vietnam to escape the cold and bleak boredom... the rest is mostly a mystery to me. I do know his older brother became a Marine reservist which I understood was the safe choice for him to make(?) while leaving his younger brother at home to help granddad farm... Dad drew the short straw. He was 19 when he left.

My dad in Vietnam.

I've tried and tried to get more photos of this old rig.. owner says he will, but never does.
