Anybody notice how far back the 5th wheel is set?

So what powered them?

I was told that Large Car magazine this month has an article on Cruiseliners? Anybody know if this is true?  

If you think that wearing a Mask keeps you safe then by all means wear it. But i have heard and read many a news cast that say "There is no scientific data to detirime that wearing a mask will protect you."  Your wearing the mask protects from people like me. So we are both happy

And what do you see regarding the senate race?  If Mills is that unpopular hopefully it will help  Collins

Sara Gideon is as bad as they come. Sneaky underhanded lyeing trouble maker. Collins has done more for the trucking industry at a National level than you can imagine.  A true Lady Susan Collins is.   I hope the polls reflect what the good people of Maine want.

Gov Mills, excuse, i mean Dicktator Mills see's fit to run the State O Maine like a Communist prison. Ride around that state a while and see all the signs folks have made up voicieing their opposition to Mills.  She has done more harm to the state in her short time there then you can shake a stick at

Now that would be a cool find.

WOW!!!!  What a pretty picture.   Tube type wheels and all

I agree, if it's done right, it is plenty strong. As strong as if it were not spliced, not so sure. I have seen more than a few shade tree engineered stretch jobs that were downright scary.

LOL.  Ok you are right on that.    And lets face it, frame strength is not a place to "Let's see if this holds."

From the 1982 second generation (Macungie production) Cruise-Liner brochure, this is my favorite photograph. Sharp looking truck standing tall. Would like to find that bumper in new condition for my WS

.

Now if your going to promote your truck at least put Alum wheels on it

Thanks for the story and pics.   Is that cab a full 90 inches?  Looks a bit shorter. Best of luck

They also made a steel hauler cab. Or at least someone did.  So maybe 3 versions?

l had one with a 6V92, 9 spd, and a 15" lift axle. Sure made a great freight peddling tractor. This one even looks like a 90" cab.    .....Hippy 

 

How many cab variations were there for the S series?

Now tell me again the advantage  to a "conventional"?  LOL

AWESOME. Just plain awesome👍

Are those two the same cabs?

Sure look the same, but I was wrong once before

No, after Macungie Cruise-Liner production ended. We had a partial first year of MH production in 1984. 
The initial production parts ramp up didn’t go well. Incompetence reared it’s ugly head.

Very interesting. Thank you

The MH entered limited production in 1984. and the RWI arrived in 1985.

Thought the MH came out in 81 at the end of the F models?

Being that it's a "bus" (SBFA) wouldn't that make it a 9700?  My memory isn't what it use to be but I thought all 9670's were set forwards fronts.  The 9800 then came along with the "flat-floor" Pro Sleeper. I got the opportunity to nose around in the prototype Pro Sleeper at the Navistar Design Center back in the day. Ironically it was in JB Hunt colors.

You would be correct. Now the 9800's could be axle forward or set back.  But this is a 9700

Pulling Transfer sled in a 300' pull with my 1951 JD A my friends would set up a card table at the end of the track because it took me so long to get there. LOL.  Use to say I could time that tractor with a calender

That truck is Cool as all get out!!!

Plowed snow with a R 400 Scania that had a straight 5 speed. Great plow truck, didn't have power enough to break traction and had good heat because it was always working its 140 HP to the max. LOL
