David Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Steel wheels on the front? Unless they pull a trailer with a 6' pin setting, doesn't look like the quarter fenders would be of much value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Maney Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I really was hoping for a cabover. Back in the day, a model number ending in U was a cabover, wishful thinking I guess!

What the hell road is he drivin on ?? The one around the Whitehouse maybe?? This guy is completely out of touch with reality!! Right now Mack Truck's is perfect example of how to put Americans back to work; Ok Mr. Pres. heres how it works,'The train leaves! NOT the station!' American co's, build there products in the USA, this means puttin Americans to work OK now some of those American Co's that Manuf. stuff made in China bring it back to the good old USA.. now more of us are workin, an now more of us have money to spend.. so that means we buy more stuff... An guess what happens then??? WE HAVE TO BUILD or Manuf more!! an then we have to hire more people an then more people pay taxes!!! An then the rest fixes itself Cause we aint goin nowhere if we don't start followin Macks Leed here!! we HAVE TO BUILD HERE AN MANUFACTURE HERE and the rest will fix itself.

Popular Post MackMann85 Posted June 8, 2011 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2011 Mack and Volvo are the last ones to build all their trucks in the USA. Literally everyone else have some trucks built in canada or especially MEXICO. Spread the word to anyone and everyone.

They are going for the instant satisfaction of the quick sale with complete disregard as to long term goals, yet only looking after the short term ones.This is the basic problem with our youth in the current generation started by the "yuppie" generation.Too much credit, too easy to obtain, till it all comes unglued and financial collapse is inevitable.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

vision386 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Well said Ernie! i wonder why people like us understand this? and the polititians don't??? i know they don't live in the "real world" like the rest of us do,but its about damn time somebody did! I deal with the general public almost everyday,and the opinion i get is,as long as people can get cheap shit for a good price,they don't care where its made! and this pisses me off! i mean we sell scrap steel to japan,korea,china etc.for pennies on the ton,and they send us cars back! I was really happy to see Mack put so many people back to work,and not just diggin ditches,but REAL,GOOD PAYING JOBS!!! i've been a life-long customer of Mack,and believe in the trucks they build,and have made my living with them for 30 years now! I just wish people would wake the hell up and DEMAND products BUILT,MADE,MANUFACTORED,ASSEMBLED, IN THE U.S.A!!! before its too late! you'd be surprized at just how few things are actually 100% American made,its a damn shame!....................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

GearheadGrrrl Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Guys, I have to partly agree with you- we need to stimulate our economy, not China's and Mexico's! The stimulus was a good idea, but there should have been a requirement that the stimulus contractors use US made products as much as possible.

The stimulus was a good idea, but there should have been a requirement that the stimulus contractors use US made products as much as possible.I think the stimulus should have never happened. We didn't have the funds for it. We borrowed the funding and it did us no good except incur more debt we cannot repay.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
