    I am in complete agreement. I never was crazy about that name, either, always preferred the RS/RL badging. Let me say again that is a spectacular effort. Congratulations.

    Spectacular, particularly the engine decal. Question arises, though: where are the Value Liner emblems?

    Here's a fire department tanker. No power steering, though....oooomph. http://maine.craigslist.org/hvo/5076967228.html

    I'm not sure air ride would work well with a single axle dump. Aside from that, either one of those looks very nice. Here's another one in Vermont with only 147k, price not shown though..... http://nh.craigslist.org/hvd/5064162751.html

    That is just plain sweet. Love the hubcaps, too.

    I drove one that had that seat. Just the ticket for a quick nap.

    Love the angled gauges, haven't seem those for a very long time. You've sure gotten good usage out of that rollback.

    Would love to see some detailed pics of it when you get the chance.

    Very very nice job on this B. It'll be a shame, though, to put that crummy old dump body back on.....unless you've had plans for that too.....

    That thing looks great. And there's nothing like a little diesel smoke to get you in touch with the true meaning of life, I always say... :-)

    A turbo is a fairly effective muffler on its own. A non-turbo has the potential to be pretty raucous, unless you like that type of thing (which I don't). A straight-piped 237 makes about the sweetest sound ever IMHO.

    Nice little R. Probably a 237 by the looks of the breather. Twin horns. Lund visor. Single axle. All this translates to a great hobby truck.

    Always amazing to me how helpless a bobtail is in the snow.

    It's still in use periodically. I once considered going to work for them just to get a crack at driving that, but they are not much in the pay department.

    OK, seeing as we've broken through the Detroit curtain on the Mack site, allow me to post my favorite shifting video. This guy's secret is not only in the shifting, but most importantly in the way he uses the throttle. NO SUDDEN MOVEMENTS of the throttle results in a very smooth technique.

    Beautiful bulldog. What is the escort vehicle? We don't have anything like that in the states...

    I initially felt bad when you were going to remove the fifth wheel. But that red body with aluminum inserts (diamondplate?) between the ribs will really dress up that RS. Could be a stiff ride for the vets, though--watch for those speed bumps!

    My pleasure. it's easy enough to do--just cut and paste the youtube url into your message and you're done. I'm enjoying your posts.

    Gawd, aint' that sweet. Never driven an F model, always wanted to. Looks like it even has an Eldorado seat. :-)

    Very nice find. I've always thought a 237 with a quad would be a lot of fun. You split only when you feel like it. Not to mention that from a historical standpoint, the 237 was a trend setter and probably Mack's finest effort. As far as the quadbox is concerned, that setup must have been used for a while in its former heavy-tractor duty. You'll be fine with it.

    Question: The sprocket drive unit would have been a differential type, wouldn't it? Or did they just use a "straight axle" type of setup?
  23. Jeff M
    Very nice Mack. I bet that Maxidyne sounds nice with that stack, too. Sure did shine up great! I too like the RS/RL's best.
  24. Jeff M
    Amen!!! And I thought I was the only one!

    Rough ride for this Mack.... http://www.pressherald.com/2014/12/11/listing-ferry-makes-it-to-north-haven-after-trucks-on-board-get-knocked-over/
