    I would be curious to know how many drum mfg choose Mack for their display truck at this show. Seams Macks garbage and Cement truck market has been slipping the last few years

    If you were not working the truck electric fans should work. lots of car guys use them and some of the newer fans a gairly quiet and push /pull the air needed. that being said I always like a truck that can work and show... I think the KW A model Extended hood is 74" long you can use that as a reference to the superliner hood... If I was to do it and had the $$$ to play with I think I would move the cab back a few Inches and have the hood re glassed the extra length. It would still look like a stock superliner until you started looking it over closer. just my .02

    I know the E9 takes up alot of the superliner hood with the turbos behind the engine. I would say for sure the V12 turbos would need to be placed up top or hang them each from the side. In theory the block is as long as a straight 6

    1778mm is 70" or 5'.8" thats a pretty long hood I know a R700 and superliner have a BBC of 119 and a RS700 has a BBC of 117. if someone knows the length of the +3 cab you can do the math for hood length.

    the factory v12 Rs700Ls had cowl extension panels. I would assume the superliner may need them as well?

    Reminder..show starts tomorrow....

    Not here in Chicago. Chicago mack dealers once had new macks in the Lot, now we have no 100% Mack truck dealrships that I know of. M&K and CIT truck centers are what we have now. they sell KW mack others. you would be lucky to spot a mack in the lot, if you do find on it was just in for service. yet there will be 30+ New Volvo tractors front and center in the lot....

    Looks like they are removing the stack for Hight reasons?... some of the cat pavers I moved had a stack with a hinge on them to lower them during transport.

    Intresting.. think about that for a moment. a Mack suspension that is still used today some 80 years later. its had many changes and upgrades but the concept unchanged.

    How long has the camelback been around. I know B models had it .....Late 40s?
  18. Lmackattack
    are they still around..l Have not seen them much but I also have not been down near the city lately (thank god)

    But did he ever crash,roll the truck over, get the truck stuck in a ditch, hit a low bridge? drop a trailer?????? I bet he was Swifts #1 employee and they ruined it for him and the company. SMH

    would need to see better pics of the box on the truck.... the R model engine and frame is basically the same as a B model, both have flared rails up front. I would think the R model box would bolt onto the frame with drilling a few holes and without needing to remove or lift the engine. You say the PS is powered from a belt/pully. most R models I have driven had the pump mounted to the back of the compressor.
  21. Lmackattack
    They say a frameless will raise higher than a 1/4 frame but I have seen some of the new 1/4 frames and they do just as good and keep all 4 corners on the ground.

    I have had to dump almost at 90 a few times and I dont like it at all. If its stone , slow and easy and it comes out ok but any type of dirt and clay 1/4 gets stuck most times. the only way to do it is to set the tractor brakes ,dump and then lower it back down while pulling the tractor up untill the weight of the trailer coming down starts to help move you forward...then pul lup 5' and do it again so it all comes out. its not so bad on pavement but you have to watch it the whole time.

    cabin fever is next weekend in Lebanon PA http://www.cabinfeverexpo.com/ that is also a good show for miniature machines and steam.

    I was the same way when it first came out 10 or so years ago. today facebook is more of a gathering of people who like something you are intrested in. for example I belong to Mack truck groups, Model Railroad groups R/C truck groups etc... some of the pics people share inspire me to build things. and the truck pics are just as good as hanks and infact I think more people are posting never seen pics before to FB. thats why I like it.
