Last year on the Me Turnpike that truck passed me like I was tied to a stump.

The truck I drive for work is shut off at 63.    Unfortunately I kinda got use to that.  

Cut offs and boots.  My favorite.  

I'm not a  big jeep fan, but yes this one is quite nice.  You don't happen to have a pic of the front end do you?

what kind of air cleaner is this? Retro fit or home made?     Some type of dry filter upgrade.

That R model with the sleeper unfortunately it had a broken crank and don't think is fixed yet.

The R was sitting along the fence row at the end of the shop.   I haven't seen it for quite some time.  Hopefully it's getting taken care of.  It looked like a really nice project.

Lol been on nights since 1976 I hate it give anything for a day run but sometimes nights do make it easier especially your racket..bob

1976!     I wasn't born until the end of 79.  

I never understood why people liked day shift.    Its 10:45   I'm at home looking out the window telling myself I should go mow my yard.  Then I look out the other window and see my garage where my mack is and think I should go there instead.   "Normal" people are all stuck at there jobs and I'm at home all day enjoying the beautiful sunshine and humidity.   

There are some neat macks in the area.  About 2 years ago "I think" there was a nice looking R model sitting behind a garage just south of Bethel on 501.    It looked like a really neat project it had a small sleeper with a polished diamond tuck rear panel on it.  It had stacks and full fenders laying on the deck plate.  Again it was around 2-3am when going by and never got to see it.   There is also supposed to be an allusive black superliner in the area that likes to do burnouts but I haven't ran across that one yet.

They have several other vintage Mack at Triple M Farms, at least one superliner. That B has been there at least 10 years because that was the last time I was there.

I have seen a superliner with a small bunk in it there but couldn't tell if anyone was living in it or not.   It's usually between 12:30 and 2:00 am when I go buy so I don't really like snooping around.   

Does anyone have a pic of the brockway handy?    I'd like to see.

That's what we like!!! Or me anyway!

I'm just baffled someone can rember all this!     I have a hard enough time remembering  if I turned the lights off.  

I ran a single axle mack for around 12 years hauling bread grossing around  45,000 with a 48' tandem trl.    Through corporate take overs I do the same thing now except with a new twin screw freightliner and super singles.   the single axle had  more road wonder then the screw, but I  Didn't really notice it at the time.     In PA a single axle tractor with a 2 axle trailer is aloud 73,280.   With 3 axles either on a single trailer or a set of doubles 80,000.    When I went through the process of getting the title for my b-67 we wrote it up for a combination weight of 73280 wich it will never see.   

If 1 turbo worked good i bet 2 would work better.      If upgrading it would be the perfect time to give it a little extra "cool" factor.

Nice!!  Bet you can't wait to fill it up with a bunch of junk so there is NO room for trucks..............LOL!!!

Guy I work with says his garage is so full he has to go outside to change his mind.

How old is this photo? It awesome to see an old Mack like this still working. 

It has to have been since 2000 based on the ford in the background.  

Out of all the bunks people put on superliners I think your westernstar one fits the truck the best.  

"They" always say good things take time.     I'm hoping its true because some of my projects are going to be absolutely amazing when they get finished.   "Some day"

I like that style door.  Really classes it up.
