Popular Post 1961H67 Posted January 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2023 We have 3 working Superliners , and 1 Western Star. Thought I would post a few pictures of some places I have hauled equipment with it in the past few years, Mostly in North Carolina, From the Bottom of Fontana Dam , Linn Cove Viaduct, Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, Literally from Murphy NC to Manto NC , and every city in the state. and many more interesting places . It’s been very interesting. 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72426-1995-western-star/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Yeah, me too just spotted this. Thanks for that post mighty fine looking rig gorgeous scenery as well all I see is wide, open planes, horses, and cattle, which is OK with me not too much greenery though ha ha. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72426-1995-western-star/#findComment-523899 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I always liked that era of Star and the Heritage cab with that sleeper. Nice truck you got there. Bonus points for Cat power! Like the Aussie style snorkels. My friend did that to his Titan when the factory breathers rotted off from the road salt.

Popular Post 1961H67 Posted January 28, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2023 Thanks for the compliments , I’ve absolutely never been bored hauling equipment, I’ve Picked up something in the morning near the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC and delivered it near the USS North Carolina in Wilmington, NC in the evening . I’m retired, so if I see something interesting along the way I can check it out. I’ve put around 400,000 miles on it . It’s been a great truck, unfortunately like all many 5EK Cats, it broke a crank a couple years ago, replaced it and kept on going. A few more pictures. It was even in compliance with MASKS during Coronavirus! , Getting inspected by the Georgia DMV ( the Trooper told me it only reason he pulled me in was he liked “ Old Western Stars ) 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72426-1995-western-star/#findComment-523998 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 1961H67 Posted February 4, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2023 A few more “Non-Mack” we use besides the Western Star, they come and go especially dump trucks, The Autocar has made it a year. I’ve had the 81 Peterbilt 359 for 25 years, got it from a friend of mine that ran it to California weekly, it had a 400 Cummins, I got it with no engine, I put a 8v71 Detroit in it , My son put a 3406B in it a few years ago.I just recently repainted it. We sold the 99 379 Peterbilt ( C16 18 speed ) we restored it also. The General, and COE KW ,both had 8V92s . They’re also gone. 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72426-1995-western-star/#findComment-524567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
