ThaddeusW Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I am looking at a superliner with a really long wheel base. I want to know the bumper to the back of cab length and the center of the front axle to the back of cab. Sounds crazy but I want to put a box on it and want an idea of the overall truck length. Also how difficult is it to convert camel back to air ride? Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

roadusercharges Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 mine is 125" bumper to back of cab. You were also asking about the Trimatic coupling a while ago, they are made by WABCO. if that is of any help, much more superior to your old 1940s glad hands???.nigel Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/601-bumper-to-the-back-of-cab-of-a-superliner/#findComment-2769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick harper Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 mack made two different bumper arrangements. the standard was flush mount and the other was extended mount. that's the difference between the two measurements.

There also seems to be a second type that has a third port for an auxiliary air line called a triomatic. I like how you operate the coupling with a lever for quick connecting of all lines at the same time. I wonder if they are available here in the US.

roadusercharges Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I can send you the 2 parts that make up a coupling, the main tractor part accepts a trimatic from the trailer or a duomatic from the trailer. and there is the end that is connected to the trailer at the end of the hoses.you can mix and match then and they are idiot proof, (have to be for us colonials)let me know if you want a set. I would say that 98% of new zealand rigs usde this type of Coupling.Nigel Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/601-bumper-to-the-back-of-cab-of-a-superliner/#findComment-2829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
