57 bcr Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I always thought it would be cool to put a 360 or 361 together with a Mack powertrain (at least engine/trans) & put one of each dogs up on that grille shell? I don't know, sacrilegious Ernie or GG2 ? 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

I don't know, sacrilegious Ernie or GG2 ? Be careful if you take your Mackway to the show in Cortland, NY.It would be along the lines of putting a Volvo in place of a 237 R685.Granted that is what is happening with the really modern stuff.

Competition for 6000 Whites, Mack MB's, Ford C models. I would call this thing in the dyn o picture a hi-tilt-looks more like a Mack G ??

57 bcr Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks Jim & Ron for posting the info on the Smith "Huskydynes" ! LOL! I had read (then forgotten,go figure!) the story! Jim, I would imagine you couldn't park the mixed breed next to the true Huskies in Cortland! And rightly so,those Brocks deserve their day in the sun for sure! 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!
