bobo Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I worked at westernstar for a few years, before Freightliner took over they were very well built trucks! bobo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19708-kinda-liked-these/#findComment-81489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 I've never been around any of them. Always remember that Western Star was a "hand built" Canadian truck of good quality. I remember this series when new and the styling always kinda stuck with me. It is the same thing when I first seen the first Superliners in the 70's.

I don't like the newer ones where the cabs look like they've been over inflated. Todd had a couple of Low-Maxxes, I think they were called, and they were butt-ugly.

stev Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I've never really been much into trucks with rectangular headlamps, or anything not Mack really, but always kinda liked this series.Robhttp://bend.craigslist.org/bfs/2484879129.htmlI know this has been discussed before, but are you using a craigslist aggregator? I am currently using jaxed.com to look at regional macks for sale. It includes both cl and eBay, which is useful . . . . . . . But I was wondering if anyone had anything better. Is there a site that does this for auctions that a non-insider can access?

Is there a site that does this for auctions that a non-insider can access?No, I just use a little script file to find what I want on either ebay, or craigslist. Don't remember where I got the idea but it's modified from it's original format to my use.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

rhasler Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 We had a Western Star that we replaced one of the frame rails on. Took forever to get the frame rail cuz it had to come from Canada and then the freight company somehow managed to lose it and a second rail had to be ordered. As far as I know they never did find the first one. Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!"
