General Ike Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Just curious... I used to see L series MB's hauling mail all over the NY metro area but haven't seen one on the road in years... Anyone ever drive one? Anyone still know of any in service?

41chevy Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 There is one this style in a cement yard in Middle Island, has not moved on probably 10 years. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35093-mercedes-benz-l-series/#findComment-238177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogboy Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Back in the early '80s I had a part time job at a freight forwarder. They had two medium trucks, a Mack "MS-200" and a M-B "L-1316". The M-B had an automatic transmission and was underpowered. Itdid have a very roomy interior. Whenever I drove it I would think to myself, "This is what driving a whalemust be like if one could drive a whale." In my full time job as a firefighter I was around Macks all thetime so I was partial to the "MS".bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35093-mercedes-benz-l-series/#findComment-238185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I too like this style of a cab.There was one for sale locally but with no papers and in a shape required a lot of work.So I missed the deal preferring pay more attention to Bulldogs.They were made also in Brasilia after splitting the production in Germany, probably up to the late 80's. The late ones had dual square lights, one below another on each side.
