The Heinz Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 I think he was just yanking his friend's chains with the air ride comment, but I see where he's coming from on extending the frame on that truck, it's really short back there to the point he was having some clearance issues with his lowboy trailer. I don't have a problem with him extending the frame a little to make it usable, and I have a feeling he has enough appreciation for old Macks as to not stretch it like those Pavement Princess Peterbilts we share a dislike of.

Mark T Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 Buddy of mine just acquired a RW similar to the one in the video. Not quite in that shape, but just about started out pretty close as far as the spec . I'd love to see that one in the video in action with a couple Fruehaufs behind it . ( not saying I mind seeing it now ) Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74818-video-about-a-1979-superliner/page/2/#findComment-563188 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then one of those with a couple Fruehauf dump trailers behind them was a common sight, and quite inpressive at that. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74818-video-about-a-1979-superliner/page/2/#findComment-563207 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 He mentioned moving the wet line tank out of the way so he could hook to his trailer and not have the plate moved behind the rear axle. I doubt he would butcher it up but it's his so he can do what he wants. I always liked his red super. Matt's channel is good entertainment. Yup, live your life through theirs and not cost a dime. 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

I was wondering when you would chime in Sam. I enjoy your videos. Disappointed that I didn’t make it out to Gerhart’s to see the ‘79 in person.

1961H67 Posted December 7 Share Posted December 7 Great video, and nice truck, we have a Superliner with a factory 3406B , A guy about 50 miles away has one with a 8V92 in it. I loved all the options you had back then , and the “ K “is a jewel, A friend of mine has one in a 1980 KW , I installed a Jake Brake on it for him about 25 years ago, I remember it was hard to find at the time. Thanks for the video! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74818-video-about-a-1979-superliner/page/2/#findComment-563450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
