Ryder liked how the Dayton rear hangers had replaceable rubber wear pads (attached with 2 bolts). .

Actually I don't have anything as a sample of such marker excepting interweb images of Cruiseliners equipped with them. My truck has small lights which looks like KW W900 fender lights. And from the web pics it looks like it was a typical setup for Cruiseliner Macks. I found a few offers on NOS ones on flea bay but would prefere to install larger torpedo style markers. Having no sample it turns out we should figure what they are (or were) and than try to find a source. So all ideas are welcome. Good thing or bad but now it's not a need of the day since I'm elbow deep in two other big Mack projects. Glad to learn you enjoyed the reading. P.S. If you have a chance to make a look on the GMC markers I'd like to see a big size photo of. Again, no rush.

Nieboer Trucking Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Hello Vlad, thanks for your story, love it!! I guess the Mack is a formal Haliburton truck. I would travel to Turkey , I heard about more then a few old macks around there. I would looking for the old Ersan macks, but I guess they are scrapped already 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63436-one-more-road-trip-and-a-new-purchase-cruiseliner/page/3/#findComment-510828 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would looking for the old Ersan macks, but I guess they are scrapped already Hello! Unfortunately I have no ideas on the truck's origin. Would be interesting to bother Haliburton for any info or just send a request to Mack museum as beginning. Currently I'm too busy with many things so can't pay attention to the matter well enough. Interesting entertainment to rifle through Turkey looking for Macks. I was lucky cruising Turkish roads in 2010 with my motorbike. Drove no less than a couple thousand km including streets of Istanbul and Ankara. Was for a couple of weeks there. A score of Macks turned out really poor with only one truck seen at all. It was probably a DM I catched with my eye in a opposite lane of divided interstate highway. Was difficult to recognize the truck riding at 140 km/h and the truck had its own speed too. I had a thought of making a U-turn and catch it but it could worth me up to 100km of extra trip with no result guaranteed. I was told there were many Macks in Turkey earlier but I saw what I saw. The rumors are Iranians found new homes for the most of Turkish Macks. 2 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63436-one-more-road-trip-and-a-new-purchase-cruiseliner/page/3/#findComment-513677 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul You're welcome Paul! You can see a movie on Youtube of how I purchased and loaded the truck. It was filmed by local guys (neighbours of the previouse owner) and I asked them to not show myself up in it. It's in Russian but many things may be just seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DECw8C-unQk There's also a part #1 of that movie where the guys described the truck at the time they haven't knew I was on the hunt and going to get it from there. 2 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63436-one-more-road-trip-and-a-new-purchase-cruiseliner/page/3/#findComment-558377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanzoid Posted Friday at 08:57 AM Share Posted Friday at 08:57 AM (edited) It’s impressive how much effort and planning you put into recovering the truck, especially with all the challenges along the way. The toll bridge and rough roads must have been frustrating, but it sounds like you made the best of it with those refreshing river stops. I can imagine the sense of accomplishment when you finally got the Mack on its way. It reminds me of a trip I took to Florida when we planned a family day at a water park. The drive wasn’t as rough as yours, but navigating through smaller towns to avoid traffic turned into an adventure itself. If you’re ever considering a road trip like that in the U.S., check out water park details for some great stops—it’s always nice to have a relaxing break planned during long drives.
