Stock , I like some little updates but not too much , anyway when you own and drive a vintage Mack you do not need all those gizmo's around you ara noticed on the spot , people know that you are a "Connaisseur" .

sad ending in way ! at leats you recovered part of you stuff . this kids need some help for sure ,

but thtey need to face the music .

hum BADsuperliner , does that exist ?

welcome

Don't know what this is. Looks like it might be a Pacific. It's very tall anyway.

yep it a Pacific ! another good truck gone when McCormick (aka International) bought them of .

I agree about the green and brown high binder. It looks strange. The fenders are higher than on the other trucks.

My father just called an N model Ford a two story falcon a couple of weeks ago. I don't remember hearing that growing up.

I said the Reo was the china closet, but it was really the Diamond T. I don't know if they had a knick name for the Reo's.

Here is a better better picture of my AC pumper since someone asked about it even though it has nothing to do with cabovers.

that is a beauty !!

nice CF you have there !!

My guess is that yes we have to respect Mr.Sssick and Hank's truck , but when you have to copyright a picture

that you take I guess it is far fetched , are they making any money with those pics ??

You can take any of my pics and do whaterver you want about it , they are taken with pleasure for my pleasure and the pleasure of the others , being so open on freedom of many things and being so tight on copyright for pictures .

He was polite in his request and Barry was polite but also clear on the response which is a very good thing between the two communications, we can see that they are adults in treating this mather .

my 02 cents

The Pelletier's smacked both Titans ?

I have always thought that it was too bad that CAT didn't take over Mack.

eurk , this would have been worst , the truck they make today is not even a Cat at all . my opinion .

no Mack are made like that anymore !

Maybe I'm a glass half full guy, but I think Volvo really does know and respect Mack to a certain extent. I mean here we are some 12 years into this and Mack is still here. A guy can still spec a "Mack" truck that has a Mack hood, cab, interior, transmission, axles, and a motor tuned and programmed by Mack engineers. No one in this global economy can go it alone anymore and this marriage has gone better than many others. In fact, if Volvo owning Mack "is a crime" than what GM did to Saab should be considered man-slaughter! Remember the "Trollblazer"? Simply a re-badged Trailblazer for the SUV shopping Saab faithful. No wonder Saab is dead!

Could Mack have been better without Volvo? Who knows? Maybe, but it could also have been worse than it is now, a lot worse.

Maybe Mack would have been gone without Volvo help , but it doesn't mean that Mack as to disapear under the name of Volvo !

It's not about being the best, it's about keeping the investors happy!

yeah I'm kind of sick of thoses famous investors ! soon they will have nothing is our coutrys falls to their knees.

Pawel , you model is simply a work of art ! bravo bravo and bravo again ! tons of details ! keep us posted about the progress.

Volvo just bought 45 % of a Chinese company this will make them the #1 truck sellers in the world !

I wonder why you want to be #1 !! I'd rather be the best ! selling is a thing, staying on the road is something else .

welcome ! hope for you that the truck you drive is a Mack !! lol

is the cab like the old McCormick aka International ??

that burgundy Superliner was very nice !!

this truck is a beauty !

wow , very nice truck , like the color , tihs must give a good ride I'm sure !!

She would prolly only last a second before falling on her face.

maybe but she would bounce back pretty fast !

hopefully I will go ! but I do not know if I will bring my dawg ! long ride for me and the fuel price is not helping !

I didn't see any B or R Mack's.

they are very rare finds ,

I'll keep an eye on them and let you know .

make a friend of yours post an ad on craiglist for parts likes that , might end up finding a nice fellow
