Good looking truck. I wish I could have that kind of truck so that I can have a good toy and rig.

You can have any truck money is all it takes. What seems to be holding you up? We have a 13 year old guy on here and he owns a U Model. Are you older than he is? If so how much older?

Ive never owned a West coast Bulldog always owned DM East Coast R Models & Est Coast B Models but was & still am a fan of the Western Mack esp the Western B & R Series & Esp the Superdog . I

I was told the other day by a retired Sales Rep for Tri State Mack in Memphis (who is a friend of mine), that for years folks East of the Ms river couldn't get a Western Series Bulldog .

He said it took a lot of Mack customers complaining to get the Western Series Bulldogs on this end of the country & it finally happened .

what bought that conversation on was I told him how id ilike to find a B75 OR B77 & He said ah now there was a truck we couldn't get here in Memphis as a new truck & that started the history lesson that I enjoyed so much that I only got an hour workout in cause I was so into the conversation . ;)

He is in the local YMCA W/ me 3 days a week & Ive known him for years my pop knew him better than I did . & now that ive got some time to talk to him & get to know he & his wife better than I did before. & talk to him about of course the bulldog & other things as well I can honestly say it is a joy to sit down & listen to his experiences esp w/ Tri State .

Im tryong to get him on BMT W/us fellas . :)

I'm such a Mack Western fan I didn't even notice the girl.

Girl? I had to go back and look at the image again. She blends in with the truck.

Dang, just turned 61 and already I can't see the wimmin!

That yellow and white RL has probably the hardest to find grille and bumper of any Mack good thing they're straight. I always liked the long hood R's, like Mack power in em though.

A late Valueliner with the galvanized steel cab may be the best Mack ever- Good allround visibility, lighter than a Freightliner (under 12,000 pounds for a 6x4 with aluminum frame), short enough BBC to be maneuverable, etc.. Saw one today with a dump body working on road construction on I-29 near Brookings, and there's another with a grain box in a farmer's shed near here.
