Popular Post 220cummins Posted August 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2013 Finally got a new computer and was able to upload some pics of the cruiseliner cab we picked at macgunie. Thanks to everyone willing and able that helped with the storage for the week after the macgunie show. Special thanks to Skip and his Dad at J&E Trucking. They had some great stories and pics from there careers in trucking over the past 50 years! I wish we had some more time to spend at the shop b'sing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were going to switch out the interior with the cruiseliner we have just for that reason. The cab is the smaller sleeper while current cruisliner is the larger sleeper.

jakebrake86 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 That is immaculate. I didn't know there was such a thing as a clean Cruiseliner interior left anywhere. Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbigrig Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I've only seen cabs like that in brochure pictures. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Looks perfect from the outside and the inside.And I like that Cruiseliner grill design much more than the angled one.

I had found it a few months ago (when searching fo Cruiseliners I assume) and it was part of an album of various trucks that were owned by the guy in the picture. He said something to the effect of it being the worst truck he ever owned. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

761 Brock Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Is it possible that grille design is for the V-8's? Have heard something to this sort about a grill change for them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Is that a short sleeper, the 76" sleeper instead of the more common 90" sleeper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

220cummins Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yes its the 76" cab not 90" I actually have a lead on a 76" cab chassis that I would like to get a hold of to place it on someday. It was surely a unique find. I believe it was ordered as a spare for a trucking company and then never used so I guess it would be NOS. I didn't get the full story on it from Matt Pfahl. Its been home since the Macgunie Show and re-lit the fire under my Dad's butt for working on the Cruiseliner. He has the passenger side frame rail off is getting ready for getting the new frame rails ordered up. Btw we're making a single axle into a tandem thanks to the 38k Mack rears from Steve Morse's Superliner he just got back on the road.

We reached a point where only the 90" sleeper (service replacement) cabs were still selling, so we offered a low price on the remaining 76" sleepers and 54" day cabs to all the distributors (as we often did with old inventory that had become inactive). I remember that Tidewater bought all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
