The Hager Superliner is the former Ruffalo lowboy truck that was posted a little while back. I was gonna tell you guys that awhile back but I forgot to pass that along that they bought that.

PeterMack Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 So this is a new one, F650 Mack?? It actually does look like something Volvo would produce and slap a Mack badge on. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/116/#findComment-329630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The Mack "N" model shared the Budd cab with the Ford "C" model. Perhaps this is how Mack will get back in the medium business, share the "F" series cab. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/116/#findComment-329635 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you're spending a lot of time down at your favorite scrap yard? LOL I hate that crap hole! Nothing about that place is good. Its tough to get to, rough, crowded, %100 crap!! I have been there more than I would like. Their scale house burned down two weekends ago, I wish the whole place would go up. The only thing that is even remotely decent is that I can take a couple pictures of Mack's while I'm there, and that's really not all that great. I'd trade that for a better place to dump any day.

Gmerrill0516 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I'm guessing that he neglected to release the tailgate. It looks shut...must make enough down force to lift the ass of the truck up...need a new pair of drawers after that I imagine...
