You think that truck is ugly I owned and hauled with an old 1960 White cabover 5000 now that was pretty unimpressive

Could you picture add'n a hood to one of those

I think they’re kind of cool and from what I hear from you TJ they probably hold up a lot better and look a lot better than the Volvo. Let’s face it. There really isn’t a whole lot out there anymore but look half decent. But they do look like they would flip over right easy.

[mowerman]

Ha ha suddenly that Emma Leeville doesn’t look so bad

oh, by the way, I was originally talking about the Scandia I kindagot lost in the post and forgot where I was

That's close to 800 reasons to like them.  Time was there was a connection between Scania and Mack. and some of Mack's best stuff was developed from that relationship.

Wasn’t that when magurus was in there somewhere????

[Mark T]

Mack and Scania used to compare notes over the years in the past. Trade off info here and there.  Like the direct injection Diesel.  Then there was this other little engine that was 998 cubic inches.......

[Joey Mack]

Geeze...  I wonder what engine it is... 🤔

[Mark T]

One of them ke[t on going with it.

I was talking about a White 5000.  Google one, they were odd to say the least. Only made a short time and rarely seen in this day and age.  I'd send a picture , but I'm not sure how that posting pictures that aren't your own goes. 

[mowerman]

I think there was a supermarket in my area that you still use a lot of them I wanna say your first national finest, maybe purity supreme 

[Mark T]

They looked more European than American at that time.

That's a 7000.   The 5000 was a whole different animal.

[mowerman]

Oh, that’s the one I was thinking about it was an actual white from what I remember there wasn’t really a whole lot of them and yes, it’s better than sending a love letter to a contact other than your wipes are talking about some hot peach and it goes to the wrong one. No, I have not been busy unless you’re talking about setting in front of the TV, but thanks for noticing Joey.

[Joey Mack]
