Look at the link green dash posted. It has a great day light shot of it..

I forgot they offered that 36" bunk now but lets be honest. If you are stuck out on the road for 2 weeks+ do you think a 36" bunk would cut it? And if you wanted say a 60" stand up it would have to be custom installed. Now your looking at 15- 20k more than a western star, and likely 25k+ more than Pete or kw. I'm not knocking a Titan but if mack wants into the game why am I paying more and getting a lot less. From what I see is todays company's, they don't personaly build up there trucks like the old days. People want turn key units with the options that work for their fleet. Adding lights or some chrome is easy, having to install big bunks not so much. I know titans have there use as day cabs but they completely missed the otr heavy haul market.

Staxx... That's the one... I still have it too. LOL

I agree slpwalker ... Mack wants to play with the heavy haul stuff. Then they better offer the same and more than its competition. The Titan is over priced and has no sleeper option. Pete and kw offer cabs that work better with heavy haul. And are cheaper. I think macks are built better than paccar trucks but lack important o/o options that people request in a truck.

I left there that night around 9pm.I Waited about an hr trying to catch the owner but either he was sleeping or was in the truck stop? Would have asked him to drop the hood for a look but no dice..

Family was in trucking when I was a kid. Had a taste of it early on but my dad and uncle got out in the late 80s. I went to the local DMV one day and picked up the cdl book. 2 weeks later I took and past the test. Walked out the door of the dmv and saw a trucker next to his rig. Just happed to be a R model tractor trailer end dump. I Walked up and asked if I could trade some labor for use of his truck. He called his boss and he said stop by to chat....the next 2 weeks I layed bricks and did labor work for his const company. All for free. Started to get some seat time on weekends . Was doing good. Practiced backing in his yard and rode,drove with his drivers, Then The IL licence for bribes scandal made headlines! I took the skills test the week of the headlines and failed on the pull up test, instructor said I tried to stick my head out the window? Next week tried again,failed for getting out of the truck and not chocking my wheels? 3 rd times a charm I passed. The owner gave me a job driving on weekends to relieve the other 2 guys if they needed time off.. Drove for him the rest of that year until he slowed down and he sent me to work for his buddy, still talk to those guys and thank them for taking the chance on a 20 year old kid.

How do you start your day off if your truck has.a Detroit?......slam the door shut on your hand, now your ready to drive. Enjoy your day!

Remember it well.do you recall the specs? I know it had camelback rears. But did not get to close as It was dark and didn't want to seam i was snooping around and find a crowbar to my head.

A mack will wear out 10 drivers before a driver will wear out a Mack...

Few more

Taken on a phone camera at night. Cool old R with a 60" bunk pulling a shiny bulk tanker.

looking good. remember those kids toys "stompers" I had a black superliner that looked just like your truck. brings me back to my youth!

yep and what pisses me off even more is a guy like ron paul has what seams my best interest in mind .......but if I vote for him its throwing the vote away and helping bozo win...

Check the bright/dimmer switch also....

Look at the valve covers. If they are square it's an e9 if rounded covers its a early v8. Also what trans is in it. If its a 5 speed it may give a clue. Or it may be a Detroit? Any of these will fit in a R700

I was up in Plymouth wi last week they have a old plymouth switcher parked out in front of the old depot.

Is this the seat that kinda pivots at your lower back? If so I like them. Less up and down movement and it holds you better than the bostrom did. What is the price on them new

Love that. Paint job. More pics!!!

Wait...... what?

Ok need pics of said trains,trucks any big iron...welcome to the. Site..

Likely just the holes drilled for mack camelback or Volvo air ride

It's local to me if you need eyes on it...

I like the color...

Got a set of landing legs that I dragged back from queens that he needs to come get... Will talk to him soon I'm sure...

That's good news... Knock on wood!
