Red Horse

Not the best shots but hopefully this will give you an idea-might have some better pix-see if I can find them. Again these are the extension type- there is a plate that goes on top of them and then the 3-hole tow hooks attach. So a B with these brackets ends up with a bumper that is about 8" in front of the rad shell.

Yeah- snow ball chance in hell but anyone have any ideas??

Joe D- I'm afraid you are right. Kevin Flaherty is/was the last of the old "big dog" names I would recognize. Good luck to him in his retirement. It has to be tough for a guy like that to finish his career with an upper management with roots far different from his. I've said it before-only a matter of time before some Swede says..."think of all the money we can save if we eliminate this duplicate sales administrative organization we call "Mack"? After all, we design everything, engineer everything blah blah."

This is going to look very nice on July 13th-maybe down by the pond??

To say nothing of the fact that if you put a square horn on it, you will have to start wearing a flat brim baseball hat that is two sizes two big so it covers the top of your ears and start driving with air out of your seat so you can barely see over the dash! Actually could be worse-you could be asking about a quad locomotive horn!

Read another article (Navistar press release??) a few days ago that said they had basically turned the corner. Had a lot of their warranty costs cleaned up and sales were on a positive rebound. Hope so-hate to see one of our last American builders go down the tubes.

Nice- Wheels of Time had big article on Corbitts a while back. Only memory I have of them is big Army surplus wreckers (tnk retrievers) from WW II

Whoa! 14.00 x 24's? Where is that going?

NYS DOT

Matt-And I thought you were going to flip out over the DM in the West Haven Calendar- I bet that was a Genovese truck.

Vlad I guess you have your mind set on flaps with the Bulldog, but here is an "older" look. I got these from Matt Pfahl. Don't know if he has anymore left

Looking at the walls today and thought it might be interesting to see what "old artwork" some of us have posted. Can't imagine a "Cascadia" or a "VN" looking as good as these in 25 years!

Don't think so-you thinking of the store that was in Avon?

Thx Joe-too bad the Detroits are not an independent like the old days. even though GM owned it, they had good availability in a lot of "wrappers". Nothing like competition.

Matt-Looks like it has less of a "disguise" than the US versions-agree with JH-can they be long for this world here in US?

Well you can't say enough about product support. I say today, does anyone build a truly BAD product? My guess is all are pretty close-key is how does supplier stand behind it. My guess is with supplier components (Eaton, Cummins etc) the truck dealer plays a key part-does he shrug his shoulders and say.."not my problem-Cummis says no"-or does he go to bat for you. I have to believe its like everything else today-everything is a negotiation-shouldn't be but I think it is. the Service mgr that is a PITA on EVERY issue soon finds himself talking to a deaf ear. But back to the Detroit question-it IS now proprietary to Daimler products only right? PS-I'll take mine in bottles

So if the Detroits are the best thing since canned beer then Daimler owns class 8??
