Popular Post Superdog Posted December 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2014 Shame for sure,I seem to remember it from either CL or Ebay.

vision386 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 That's a damn shame! that would have made a great hobby/play-toy truck,hard enough to find a decent Cruiseliner,let alone a single axle...........................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

mack mhe9 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Yes it was Mike. There's a shop near me that bought it. They have a couple old trucks. Seen it sitting out back so once again I thought it was safe. They know me and that I'm around old macks. So I couldn't believe it when It was in the scrap yard.

Freightrain Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Sadly we are the .001%'ers. Everyone else just sees $$$$$$$. Plain and simple. I hate to see it, but I do also understand not everyone has the same likes and wants. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Mack man 1973 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 That shit does make a guy sick, I bought a 82 cruiseliner awhile back for parts I got it home it runs and drives good needs it's share of work but couldn't bring myself to part it out so I kept it and bought new frame rails for my rs . One good thing about all this parting out crap going on is the trucks we all have and cherish will someday have a value that's crazy because there will be so few .

NY-B61 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I realize that not everyone is as fanatical about Mack trucks as most of us on BMT, but why destroy so many hard to find usable parts?Because our throw-away, next-new-thing culture demands it. Unfortunately, many of those who care about the extinction of a species only become involved when it's too late. Sure, relatively speaking, there are still plenty of Cruiseliners left - but there won't be, and they were just as much a part of the evolution of trucking history as any model.The world might be a better place, think of the educational opportunities alone, if more people were as fanatical as BMT Members about heavy trucks. Think what different modes of transportation and commerce we might currently experience if more recognized the heritage and innovation that were Mack's contribution to the trucking and transportation industries.Off my soapbox now........ 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38047-a-sad-week-for-old-mack/#findComment-270022 Share on other sites More sharing options...
