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? 

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

If the trucks birthday is Jan 2000 then chances are the engine was built in 1999.  If that's the case it is exempt from ELD.  Friend runs a 2000 Freightliner. Gets a lot to see his ELD. Tips the hood, shows them the 1999 engine build date and he is exempt 

Yes thanks for sharing. Back when trucks were trucks.    Does anybody remember the  dark blue J&F Macks?  I think they had a 1 piece subframe that the cab & sleeper sat on and was air ride?

Its the V pump. Engine is an 1982. I need just the Hand Primer. That's whats leaking

So my local dealer tells me the hand primer is obsolete.  They did give me the following part #. Old # is 318GC17C. New # is 5479-102077.  Does anybody have an idea where I may buy a pump?  Mine is leaking fuel in a steady stream.  Thanks in advance

Remember, that was back when Mack was rated "to the ground" horse power.  as mentioned here already, a 350 Mack should keep with a 425 Cat. We had a E6 350 that would whoop up on our 425 3406B.  & that's no Lie

If ya going to have a Hood, it might as well be one of those!  very nice!!!

Wish they had put 24.5s on to fill in the gap in fender well. But a very sharp looking Superliner just the same

I thought that Grill was used after shutters went out and before Mack realized that the Grill shouldn't tip with the hood.  I could be wrong.  Friend had an 81 with that Grill.   Personally I like it along with Alcoa wheels.   Like the white r with the big fuel tanks. That's cool

Probably some asshole scrapper who will cut it up.

Ive gotten myself into trouble more times just because I bought trucks just to keep from being scrapped.  Then try to figure out what to do with them. So far they have all found good homes

Thank you Gentlemen

This may be a dumb question but...     I have been looking for an air ride seat for my over the road truck. Easy enough except I want a Red seat.  Cant find one any where. Also as its going in a COE I don't want a wide seat. Plus I don't want to grow into the width of the seat.  My current seat is comfortable but its Tan. When you open the door on a COE its staring you in the face. My interior is red. Is it to much to ask for a Red seat?

No. The Freedom Edition MH that we had was an E6.  I believe it was a 350hp but had had pump work done to it prior to our company buying it which lead some to say it was an E6 400hp.

Intresting. Thank you

were all Liberty's  E9 powered?

That's cool.  Thanks for sharing

I remember when at an FFA national convention other kids would ask "what do you grow up there in N.H.?"  I'd say Rocks & Condos.
