Mack Doctor Jr. Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I was wondering if anyone knows what a canadian spread would measure out at. That being said measuring from the center of the front to the center of the rear drives. Was there anything called a Western spread if so were they used on Macks. I would appreciate so info if posssible. Thanks Joe Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/3415-canadian-spread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaddeusW Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I think the canadian spread is 72 inches? Was to get more weight on a tandem in Canada (38k vs 34k) but nowadays its not required anymore. Not sure of western spreads. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!
