Bullheaded Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Yes, they have a whole thread devoted to the Canadian built CL350ST. And don't forget John Casanave's Challenger trucks that were available with Mack E9 500 V8's.

louisgbone Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Originally When the CL350ST was introduced Mack had plans to put the E9-1000 engine in them what happened was the CL350ST was ended in 1979 and the E9-1000 wasn't on the market till 1980.

Yup they missed the boat on that one! Our branch sold the bulk of thous trucks ! We had the opportunity to repower 3 or 4 with E9 in later years .The only draw back to this was the lack of engine braking! the repower paid for it self in a year or so, in fuel savings over the Buzzin dozen ! Allision wouldn't warranty the trans because of the torque of the E9! so we ended up converting to 12 speed manual trans ! Irony of this is I've heard the fat trucks are making a bit comeback of sorts these days! what is old ,is new again! 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65859-macks-in-the-bc-logging-industry/#findComment-482595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisgbone Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 fjh sounds to Me like You must have worked in Nanaimo all 28 CL350ST'S between 1977 and 1979 were sold in Nanaimo 1 CL350ST was sold in Burnaby to Apex House moving in 2007 that truck was still going strong. Though the CL350ST'S were sold in Nanaimo the branch did not benefit much,whatever parts business from them went to Tom Turner in Campbell River. The 3 You say You re powered with E9'S what did You put in them for Engine Brake's.
