Phase 1

That pipe just looks good on there.  Stacks to the moon would not look better.

Nice image of Chief Oshkosh on the truck.

Oshkosh never sold many highway trucks in the U.S. either.  They were very rare.

They did make some van prototypes of it and that was before the Big 3 came out with their vans that were so popular in the sixties. It was a good looking van and it is interesting to think of what might have happened if they would have produced it.

Later they did make a few of them for the military.

 Some checks are needed. Volts, amps. That will tell you where the problem is. Don't replace the starter until you know what it is. It could be something like a bad ground connection. What happens to the lights when you crank it? Dims a little or a lot?

Go to BMT Wiki in the tool bar at top, then Antique and Classic Mack Info. 

3010 or 3020 gas, row crop with standard fenders ?

I agree it was bad driving!  And I don't mean to sound like Im bragging about the drive line damage, just about the E9 and the work Dale did for us.   And I do feel bad not, to mention the look I got from our son when I told him what happened.  Im not use to anything more than 300 horses.  This rw is my sons truck.  Mine is a 1968 Dodge 900 with a slant 6 Cummins and a RTO913. I can gouge on it and not much happens!  But it gets me there.

  I also agree you don't want an E9 now days to make a living.  They need preserving.  Trucks are an evil necessity on our farm.  I think I put about 5000 miles on the '68 last year, but it was a lot of fun and we get a lot of looks and questions at the truck stop.  IDK.  I would rather drive the classics than see them set in a garage just to look at.

     The post from Big Dog is exactly right.  I feel fortunate and thankful to Dale for helping us ole farmers out while there was a racing V8 being assembled beside our E9.  He is a great guy, and a family operation.  And very busy. 

  Pictures ?

They have filed a writ or a petition or whatever paper bullshit it is that crack attorneys file 

 

 

I think that is a writ of habeus corpoose  -

That was after he told her he was leaving to cook pork.

So from what I can gather, an RD would have been like the earlier X models. If there was an R like a B-61, an RD would have been like a B-61X model. The main feature was a heavier frame, but usually spec'd with other heavy components.

And no pictures ??

Would one of that vintage have had the parking lights next to the headlights?

2600 hours is not a lot of time to build something like that.

"a new 10-speed automatic transmission co-developed by Ford and General Motors."

That was quite surprising news to me, but I did some looking and found GM and Ford have already developed two other transmissions together in recent years..

I would think Henry Ford and William Crapo Durant are rolling over in their graves.

I think that the article is missing one page... your photobucket page6, magazine page 55

It is all there. There are pages before the opening page - to the left.

How 'bouts some G-spot pics?

Ask Other dog.

At least we know this one got out.

Wrecker looks like a Dodge D model.

Who made the first tilt cab.

I think it was Sterling.

They made an early COE with a mostly flat front and the floor over the wheels. And that was the first COE of the modern class 8 style I believe. I do not know if that one tilted though.

If you like the Harley, keep it - and take the money and buy a Mack

Got a package for...ummm...from UPS today.

Have to wait til tomorrow to open

Cool.

Maybe she just loves the Macks!
