ws721 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Back along there was a show on TV where they found that truck near Tampa, Fl. It was hauled to N.C. to be fixed. Then it went to N.J. After that I lost track of it. The show was American Trucker starring Rob Marriani. We use to email back and forth with him then he and the show disappeared.

Gmerrill0516 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 American trucker did have it and I've been wondering when it would surface again. It was rough but they got the truck and trailer as I recall. The tires got changed out so they could haul the stuff on the ground. The video for American Trucker is posted on youtube as well. Cool as heck. I hope somebody has the old girl and the cash to make it right again.Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 It was in N.J. and they were looking for a cab about a year or 2 ago. Now it was moved to points unknown. The A.T. site hasn't been updated in over a year and no word on the status of the truck any where. Paul.

41chevy Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Lathan McKay owns EVEL KNIEVEL ENTERPRISES and 90%of E.K.s items, now owns the MACK. He is restoring it to the red painted version. Here is the chassis and the factory "signed" gauge cluster.
