Popular Post Bullheaded Posted April 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2019 My friend found one of these pics on social media, so I figured since they have been also featured in the Canadian Bulldog Magazine back in the day I would post I may as well post my good friend's and his fathers old Mack's. The E9 V8 Superliner was a show and shine winner at El Rodeo Du Camion in Quebec. And the R pulling the float trailers had what he built as the very first auxiliary power unit around here back when there was no such thing. He put a Vauxhall engine in the side saddle storage box that charged the batteries, pre-heated the engine and wet line hydraulic oil tank and provided climate control in the cab when parked. 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56829-northern-ontario-rs-and-superliners/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bullheaded Posted April 21, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2019 May as well post one of the 87 R Model's I hauled salt with too. This was a strong little E6 350. Grossed 140,000 pounds all it's life running 8 to 12% hills north of here. 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56829-northern-ontario-rs-and-superliners/#findComment-421046 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeH Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 That's a nice superliner, but I'll take that R model sleeper over it every day of the week. Except for Monday, I'll take the superliner on Monday as I've never driven one, much less a V8. Gotta try it at least once.

Bullheaded Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 I've been lucky enough to heavy haul with R's, and V8 Superliner's and MH Ultraliners and CL's. But I have a soft spot for the R. That was my favorite do all truck. Until you dive the V8, LOL. Anybody know the story behind that whiskey and why it was? Was it a promotional thing, or was it done by the whiskey company? Mine was found by a relative when they bought a home and were cleaning it out. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56829-northern-ontario-rs-and-superliners/#findComment-421060 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) OK thanks guys. I'll keep watching, maybe somebody will chime in with an explanation. Edit: I just did some googling and it appears to be a 1975 issue for Mack's 75th anniversary?

navypoppop Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Exactly, It was a promo sold by Mack for their 75th Anniversary. I have given mine unsealed to my son to cherish forever. It is a real pretty decanter. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56829-northern-ontario-rs-and-superliners/#findComment-421107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
