    The split was 186 Super-Liner II (RW 613) and 64 Ultra-Liner (MH 613). They were used as a special promotion to introduce the Super-Liner II, Family 10 E9 V8, and T2090 transmission. The entire production was sold out before the production run began. They were all model year 1985- ordered in late 1984 and early 1985 for delivery in 1985. (there were 26 made with the 1070B transmission for deleviery in Canada)

    MackTucks4 - send me the last 4 of the VIN (PM) and your email and I can check the database for to see if it was built as a Magnum.

    The white Magnum belongs to Chris Lee in Maryland. It was built as a Magnum. Chris chose to interpret his truck in his own way when he restored it.

    I have an article written for Double Clutch magazine on the Magnum's schduled for publication late this summer.

    Hey I have one that was built and sent to Winnipeg, 60" spacing 450 and 9 spd

  2. Are you sure it is not the orginal trailer Corbett had. I've got two pictures showing the M75 in Corbett livery with trailer. The pictures are not the best, but it clearly shows a trailer very similar (I would even say it is the same trailer) to the one it got now. Even some details are the same. As example the vin/maunfacturer tag is on the same position. I don't have the copyright of these pictures so I can't show them, but I know I found them on the internet.

    Was there ever a salesheet of the M100SX published? I still planing to build a scale model, but I've got no reliable and useful information about this truck.

    Looking at my photo's I'm pretty sure that's corbett's trailer. It was a 350 ton, they had used it once and it broke, the company from texas came and brought it back and rewelded the neck. That picture of the transformer is 335 ton.

  3. Ok while browsing the photo album of an Australian member (Swishy) of Hanks truck forum I found this great five part article. It covers Mack from the beginning to the 70's and has all ot great pictures to go along. Pictures of the rare extreme duty M and L models along with an N model mixer and even the FCSW which was a 3 axle 100K GVW dump truck built in 1937, only two were ever made!

    My favorite pictures are of the M75SX and the M45SX. I wonder if any still exist especially the M75, would make a nice collectors piece :D . The first page of part three has an interesting picture of how Mack even used camel back paired with a second set of springs to take the weight of tandem planetary hub reduction axles.

    Here is the link: http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?aut...si&img=2539

    The images are 800x1100 which you can easily print. They look perfect on paper!

    Enjoy
