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 ? 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.

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!
