Popular Post Tom in PA Posted 2 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 2 hours ago Greetings - New to the forum and searching around for information I need. I purchased this 1980 Superliner about six months ago. I am preparing to put it to work in the next thirty days. It is powered by a 4MG serial code ATAAC B Model Caterpillar, RTLO18918B, and has TopLoader rears on Neway, 4.17 ratio. I will be doing all of the work to this truck. I am located in Northcentral PA and am a leased owner operator to William A. Spencer Jr. Trucking in Watsontown, PA. I also have a W900A Kenworth that I am restoring and a 79 Scout II that I daily drive. This is solid old Superliner with an aluminum frame. The frame is actually is very good shape, as is the rest of the truck. The bunk is by far the worst part, especially the roof, which is not currently weather tight by any stretch of the imagination. Looking forward to the journey. The truck runs and drives excellent. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75111-first-post-tom-in-pa-1980-superliner/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
