doubleclutchinweasel Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I can't remember who posted it, but someone (a while back) posted Mack's "o-fficial" guide to bulldog emblem placement on vehicles. I can't find that old thread! Maybe whoever posted it will remind me. But, I was thinking about 1 particular section that said the dogs should face forward if placed on the side of the truck. So, the dogs on the mirrors should face inward toward each other, so that (when viewed from the side) they would be facing "forward and inward". If they face outward away from each other, (when viewed from the side) they would be facing "rearward and outward". We don't want our pet bulldogs backing down the road! A couple of examples off the web... Correct... Incorrect... 2 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Dirtymilkman Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) I had a nos set of mirrors from the 80's and according to the box labeling they should be how the dogs in the ad are.

I don't doubt it. I mean, they did release that ad with the mirrors turned that way. But, if you follow the "dog forward" rule, they are backwards. I keep hoping that whoever posted the official Dog Rules from that earlier thread will post them again here. Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Popular Post AZB755V8 Posted September 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2020 I go be the old story I was told, so it is a really old story now. A dog is your best friend and being a best friend you never point your ass towards your friend only someone passing by. I'd rather have a dog lick me that have his ass in my face as with the mirrors! Same with the mudflaps. I have always pointed the faces in and was told that was correct by many people. That is why they made right and left facing bulldogs, Respect the drivers! I was told by one guy that they should be facing outward to bark at the passers by buy not correct, I like the other way just asses out and poop on them. 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/64182-more-on-mirrorsdogs/#findComment-460587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

navypoppop Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It really doesn't matter. Facing in or out, looking left or right. As long as it is MACK it is the best! 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/64182-more-on-mirrorsdogs/#findComment-460619 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Kind of odd just my opinion I like the mirrors facing Inward But the mudflaps I think they look better if they are both facing the right side.... bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/64182-more-on-mirrorsdogs/#findComment-460760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
