Superdog Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Yep,I spotted a few errors.B introduced in '53,not '50 and ran thru '66H models,introduced in '53 came before the G(actually the Manhattan in 1905 was the first Mack COE)FS was steel frame Western F,didn't mean F with sleeperF was eastern built,not just a non sleeperRW didn't mean R Western,it was model designation for the Superliner,RS and RL were the Western R modelsCruiseliner wasn't built in Macungie until Hayward was closed in '81.Think that was it.

Mack Doctor Jr. Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 WOW I thought i new some stuff on macks but i was wrong. I was lookin up some info on macks also and found a neat web site called High Performance Diesel King of Mack Trucks. Its about a family owned buisness south of walcott,Ia that deals with old macks and parts might help some of u guys out on info and parts.

Barry Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 The scarry thing about Wiki is that anyone can edit the info that someone else entered...so if any of you guys want to, you can edit the mis prints that Mike found!
