  1. If I wasn't so pressed for space I would be on my way to get it. Maybe it's a good thing I live in city limits or so my girlfriend says. I tell her wait till we move and I've got 10+ acres to play with then watch out

  3. The gold dog in those days meant the truck had a Maxidyne engine. A chrome dog meant either a Thermodyne or a non-Mack engine, like a Cummins. Somewhere along the line, Maxidynes became "EM" and Thermodynes became "E".

    I drove a couple of earlier R-models with the 6-speed 2-stick trans. The 107 was direct in high. The 1070 was overdrive in high. Nicest thing about that box was that you had 5 reverse gears. Super nice when trying to back up out of a muddy spot! After growing up on Quadruplexes, it took some getting used to!

    There was one of these for sale in Charlotte a while back. Had a Cummins & an 18-speed Fuller. A Ford-Hendrickson air ride rear frame was grafted on just behind the cab. Does that make it a McFord?

    I always thought that the gold dog was full mack drive train engine trans rrears on camel backs. My 77 dm has all mack running gear, but has solid walking beams (from being a mixer) and it has a chrome dog
