57 bcr Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks,Joe D. & Mark.The late W.T. "Bill" Hayes of Lemont,Ill. had a red integral sleeper (like a McCleans) that had a SCREAMIN" 6-71 in it.Was sharp as a tack, too. I sure do,Mark. Didn't it have a like a 60" Merc on it? Yeah that thing was guaranteed to turn heads,fer sure! Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Popular Post Superdog Posted February 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2014 Just got this from a friend of mine.. Ain't a Mack but it belonged to another friend that died awhile back,so it's something to remember him by. It's a '62 all aluminum cab,hood, frame,etc.and has a newer 290 with a 10 speed.He's going to drop it off when he comes up to the Walcott show. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 That A-car still has the "funnel" on the lower part of the stack yet too! Must have been for excess cab to chassis movement,huh? Were those cabs susupended at all? Truck looks decent,Mike. Even with no on the hood! Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

james j neiweem Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I remember tons of those Quality Carrier B's but I never saw one of those Cannonballs. Good catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Saw this 4900 in Ontario years ago. There seemed to be a lot of these smaller tandems up there at the time. Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85snowdog Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Your right Rob, in the 80's and 90's International was a very popular truck. In my little part of the world anyway. I'm not sure why, I think it was price, companies that always had International moved to Western star and Kenworth.Mack people always stayed with Mack.I wanted to share a pic of my first snowplow - it was a 1981 S1900 with a DT 466 and a 13 speed transmission. 1 Quote Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

85snowdog Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Did you like it? I don't think I'm the right person to evaluate a truck. I have only ever driven old, worn out trucks. So anything new to me is good.I will say the drivers station seemed very comfortable, with good visibility. Keith Quote Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
