Great cover and back cover pics too.Any old Mack guy (or any other old truck lover for that matter) who isn't a member of ATCA is missing out. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31837-double-clutch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Pretty interesting to read that the Goodyear tires fitted to the trucks were molded with "Magnum" in the sidewall.Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Superdog Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 Pretty interesting to read that the Goodyear tires fitted to the trucks were molded with "Magnum" in the sidewall.JimA friend of mine here in town had ordered a new Superliner II in late '84,RW613,E9-500,12 speed, it wasn't ordered as a Magnum,but somehow it arrived with the Magnum branded tires,but I'm 100% sure they were 11R24.5.

j hancock Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Also, having 11R24.5 available makes sense because I bet there were may truckers asking "What the f@ck is size 285/75R24.5?"Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
