rsb502 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I was going on the badge on the hood and the RW turn signals, only two trucks I remember having those round turn signals with the marker light were Super liners and Value Liners.

ranchhopper Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Best way of telling the westerns is the spacing of the springs on the front axle beam they are narrower than regular R model frames the Rs frame spread out forward of the cab but at a distance its hard to tell. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38998-picture-at-at-mack/page/2/#findComment-280360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 By the time the V-L was introduced, the steering wheels were changed to black. Still 3 spoke, but black. I imagine the last few years,they had that 2 spoke wheel on them. Al Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Popular Post farmer52 Posted February 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2015 Dr. Don at the Mack Museum thinks the picture was taken around 1978. He also thinks the trucks are the "first" Valueliners built at Macungie. And he confirmed the picture was taken in front of the WHQ.On a side note...I was thinking "what happens when the old Mack guys are gone?". Reminds me of a George Jones song "Who's Going to Fill Their Shoes." 3 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38998-picture-at-at-mack/page/2/#findComment-280623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
