kscarbel2 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 that logging truck in the first pic looks so bad ass..What year would that have been?Since this RS/RL has a white steering wheel (which I particularly liked) and early style grille, and what appears to be a steel dash and olive green interior, I would say the year is around 1970 and it has a CA114 cab. It should have half-dogs on the doors, but the Luber-Finer blocks the view..

bbigrig Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 If I am not mistaken, the Husband and wife couple with the Superliner hauling for ATS bought a CL Limited edition with an E9500, 60" highrise with a tri axle and full tank fairings . It was in a bulldog magazine in the early 90's. They even put a heavier front axle and large steer tires on that CL. Looked huge.

Dirtymilkman Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 He also had 10" straight pipes and a 18spd with a brownie box behind it. He had 72 gears. I helped work on the air throttle on it one day....I'll never forget how smooth that thing was! 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33179-mack-trucks-sales-marketing/page/2/#findComment-235628 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vision386 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Does anyone remember the ad that said "If you wanted an aerodynamic truck,we made one 50 years ago" (B-Model) "If you wanted a truck with a sloped hood,we made one 90 years ago" (AC-Series) and so on? thought it was a neat advertisement,but haven't seen it in years................................Mark 1 Quote Mack Truck literate.

Mike Donohue Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I see many advertisements for Volvo , VERY VERY few for Mack and when they are , seldom ever see one with a sleeper unit on it.

vision386 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 That's not the same one I remember,it had pictures of an AC,a B-Model,and another truck with an integral sleeper,a BM (I think) late/middle eighties when White/Volvo/GMC came out with their integral sleeper conventional...................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.
