mackdaddy Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 What year did the Granite come out? Was it originally on the R model chassis? What is the reason for the MACK on the grille either middle or bottom? what other changes have been made to the Granite through the years?

41chevy Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 2001 was the first year of production. No idea if it shared the R chassis. The MACK name is located in 3 different spots ,top, middle and bottom. I always thought it was for different model years but was never positive.

Dirtymilkman Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 The first granites were just an R model with the CH can and different hood. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50482-granite/#findComment-374987 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbigrig Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Grill name positioning was an option and also depended on weather it had a grill gaurd or not. It was originally built on the RD frame as mentioned before and was only available in set forward axle till 2004/5 if I'm not mistaken. It was not a big seller here because of the front axle loading/spread issues in Ontario.

MackMann85 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Since it came out they changed hood, headlights, interior and made the cab deeper when switched to MP engines, added set back axle model as said above, changed chassis and added some options in transmissions and suspensions as new things came out Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50482-granite/#findComment-375193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
