85snowdog Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I was hoping you were a mechanic in Barrie. London is a little far to drive. In another post you mentioned a 72 R model. You wouldn't have any pics?We all love pics on here.

mackmechanic15 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Can get some. My dad started to restore it but for reasons stopped. When he got it the engine was new and tranny was recent. Kind of a sad situation now as it sits outside. Was never winter driven from new.

BAD DOG Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Welcome to BMT. So you're from London. I'm down near Windsor but I prefer to deal with the guys at London Mack it's a far better dealer. My Superliner came from #4 Hwy and 401 and was sold an assembled as a Glider in London. Maybe you recognize the old girl.

BAD DOG Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Maybe you worked on it a one time. It's seen a few changes since it's been down her the last dozen years. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35458-mack-mechanic/#findComment-242704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackmechanic15 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think its an old Deitz truck. Cant remember how to pernounce the name but yes i have seen it. He had a bunch of cabovers too. Favorite truck is a superliner Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35458-mack-mechanic/#findComment-242706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD DOG Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yes it is one of Hans Dietz's trucks. I had 2 of his Superliners but recently sold the one that was my dad's. The Superliner withe the 6 cylinder he had is owned by a friend of mine in Windsor now it's parked because it has a broken camshaft. And the last one of the F Models Dietz had is owned by Charlie from Charlie's Place in Chatham. I've left the paint on my cab and hood original for a conversation piece. Everyone recognizes the paint job. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35458-mack-mechanic/#findComment-242713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
