mowerman Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 You know it was a very long time ago. I wasn’t even driving trucks yet, but I’m pretty sure they used to use one of those on the brochure …I think it was actually a titan for New England tractor trailer training… bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74735-stroker-ace-81-cruiseliner/page/2/#findComment-562075 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cab lights dont match, Wrong grab handles for that vintage. Im not sure from the angle but i dont think thats the correct battery box. Intresting truck. Would like to walk around it and see just what they built. Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

Promotional stunt? I found it last night and thought it was cool Yes, I remember this when it was released. It was a Ryder (Obviously) ad explaining how their employees are willing to do whatever it takes or something along those lines. If I remember correctly they actually did lift the truck but it was extremely gutted and a lot of what you see is faux. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74735-stroker-ace-81-cruiseliner/page/2/#findComment-562305 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that you couldnt get the cheap round cab lights if you wanted a Lund visor on the later Astro's Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

mowerman Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Hardly anything has side signals there days I don’t know how DOT lets that slide I never thought that was very safe especially if you have to swing it without much warning to avoid an issue… bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74735-stroker-ace-81-cruiseliner/page/2/#findComment-562427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
