tkobes43 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 It hauls the snow cats over to the mountain and snow tubbing park each winter. During the summer it hauls a dry van full of tools and air compressors for the water park.

The visor doesn't cover much, the windshield stops about have way up the visor. Doesn't block any of my visibility, just the sun!

Olivetroad Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 New than mine for sure. Jay - I just got caught up enough to find this thread - I like your little wrecker - does it have a little 304 or a 345? and what size tires are those?

David Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 That Mack is either a 285, 300, or 300+. Why does it have both the hood scoop and the two element filter.

other dog Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Speaking of "International meet Mack", I was looking for a picture yesterday in one of my books and just happened to notice this.Looks like a Mack bulldog on this International. Seen the picture many times but never noticed the bulldog until yesterday.Pictures didn't really come out too good. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

tkobes43 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Thats awesome! Guess the guy who drove it wanted a mack, so he made his international one! It really doesn't look out of place tho.Tom Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25379-international-meet-mack/#findComment-123254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Back in the early 70s a local trucking company got a heck of a deal on a bunch of new Mack Western F cabovers with Mack V8s. They thought the V8s were too much power, and replaced the V8s with 237 Maxidyne 6s. The local IH dealer bought the now homeless Mack V8s and put them in IH 4300 Gliders... 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25379-international-meet-mack/#findComment-123442 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local IH dealer bought the now homeless Mack V8s and put them in IH 4300 Gliders...Bet the drivers loved that plan. Like the drivers of a small local company in Appomattox liked their owner in the 80's when he would buy brand new F-models with 300s in them and park them in a field for a year before he put tags on them, meanwhile they were driving older 237 F-models that you could look through the floorboard and see the road.
