alottalights Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hey guys, dont get on here much, I'm down in St Thomas, and just found a set back axle superliner, not a brockway and left hand drive to boot, gonna check on it soon and find out more, does anyone know more of this anomaly?? I thought I knew Mack pretty well, then found this! it's a 10 wheel dump. I will post pics soon, would like to know more about it, and if its for sale, I may see about spending stupid $$$.

terry Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Do you think it could be a rehooded R or RB? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44073-set-back-axle-superliner/#findComment-324893 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Timmyb Posted February 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2016 only pic of one I've ever seen3f614a36-1b71-4004-a4bb-bed1.jpgI think that's an Aussie one? A bit of inbreeding going on there. Sure it's ugly, but i bet it's got a great personality. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44073-set-back-axle-superliner/#findComment-324904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtymilkman Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Is it just me or does the back of the cab look bulged out? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44073-set-back-axle-superliner/#findComment-324909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Dirtymilkman. The bulge is just the plus3 cab that was standard on Macks after 1972 I think was the year. It was an option on Brockway 700 Series 1975-77. Except on the 776 Series brockway I think it was standard on that model.How about some dash and roof pictures ?I have been in St.Thomas a few times always looking for old trucks there. Thanks Joe D.

GreenGiant2 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 cab is different for a brockway. under the air filter isnt the same. odd looking Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.

Fulton Hogan in New Zealand had one. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44073-set-back-axle-superliner/#findComment-324929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 The one on the picture Mike posted is sure Australian truck.It has R-model cab as it should have and is built on a R700 model chassis as they all were done.From what I see it is not a set back one but the hood is made longer at its front. And has normal length from the firewall to the fenders area.The form of the lower edge of that part of the hood has its own design being apart from American version. The same about the air filter tube cut out. Aussie RW's have it higher than American ones, the top part of the hood cut off either. And would note it's RW1.Too interesting truck anyway. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44073-set-back-axle-superliner/#findComment-324934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Super Dogs picture that Superliner is modified from what I can remember reading about it belongs to earth moving contractor who has a horn for Cat motors I cant remember what motor went in it to extend the bonnet that far there is also a R 600 or maybe a R 700 that looks like that in Australia same thing to fit a big Cat motorThe pic in Tim's pretty sure is a Kiwi special Swishy has the low down on these and shared some information on here once about them the story behind the NZ built Macks so better tell us all again Swishy as I have forgotten there was a Kiwi web site for it think it was a Mack dealer in Kiwi land Paul 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44073-set-back-axle-superliner/#findComment-324951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outback Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Can't say I've seen one of these down under but I know there was a handful of mk1 super liners built here with 3408 cat motors. Maybe this is one. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44073-set-back-axle-superliner/#findComment-325801 Share on other sites More sharing options...
