Bullheaded Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hello my name is Shawn. I'm a dump truck owner from Ontario, Canada. Mack has always been my favourite and this site is a dream come true. A place to talk I currently own an International, due to wanting a little more power than what the 05 E7 460 had to offer and I didn't want a Cummins due to little dealer support in my area. But I am looking forward to an R Model or Superliner project in the future. So this site is just what I need to stay in the loop.I've driven many Macks in the past such as R Models, Superliners, Ultraliners, CL's, CH's, and Granites.They were dump truck/pony combinations and tractors with 5 and 6 axle dump and walking floor trailers. My favourites have always been the R with E6 350 and the Superliners and Ultraliners with the E9 500.

Bullheaded Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Thanks for the specs Skullsquadron X. I knew Mack used to be a big producer of buses, but I didn't know much about them. I always focused my attention on trucks. Plus I've never saw a Mack bus in this area ever. Interesting.

Skullsquadron X Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Well I seen the cities transit bus around but never one like this tour bus. I came across it a local small junk yard and bought it for $1000.

Skullsquadron X Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) That bus looks like a model 97D,if it is,they only made 26 of them.Its a 97D I found a photo with the model under the photo. Can I ask you how you know this, did ya work for Mack or something. Please I'd like to know? Thank you.Earlier when I frist post my interduction I say this was a model C-49DM I believe I was wrong. The tec. book that came with it say model C-49DM, but the photo I found tell me differ. The details I list could be wrong as well, or not ?.
