Does anyone have either the article or the Bulldog magazine month/year that it was in? Mack used F models one equipped with a Cummins 335, one with a Detroit 8V71 and one with the V8 maxidyne. There was also some film footage on the trip to San Francisco. I remember that on the trailer of each truck was the engine HP 335,325, and I cannot remember the Detroit rating. They also counted the number of times each truck shifted as well as fuel consumption. I have the promo barrels for each amount of fuel each truck used. Of course the maxidyne used less fuel, shifted by far less, and arrived first.
Thanks

Special Interest plates from Oregon and not for hire. Oregon provides an exemption to allow for me to gross 80k as long as I own or am personally renting what is being hauled. CA to date has always honored the Oregon exemption. The Oregon DOT actually posts the notice on the internal internet that the scales use so when I go across the scales it registers. The reason for this is that a scale is not enforcing the license plate but the legality of hauling over 26k lbs. Here is a few weekends ago when I trucked down to outside of Fresno, CA for a Tucker sno cat rally. Went through 2 Oregon and 3 CA scales with no problem and I was permitted over width but still under Oregon special interest plates.

Thanks to 67RModel and Chris!! A few interesting takes on this truck. My friend Norm Taunton of Galt, CA has serial number 057 so one up from this one. Norm says that a grocery chain in LA purchased 10 of these new. They were red as well. But this truck has the Ford grill which wasn't uncommon as the Mack N grill was fiberglass and broke easily. And there is no doubt that the interior is Mack and totally different than the Ford version. But I have never seen an N model with single headlights? And the Stainless front plate is missing too. Here is a picture of Norm's and yes, he did stretch the frame to make the flatbed.

Can I borrow that for harvest?
If we can do some trading for cases! maybe some large bottle formats would be nice?

Just who is he? What was his role at Mack? I always thought he just might be Jack Curcio??

the manifold with the baffel keeping the ex from cylinders 4 5 & 6 seperate will give you more of the sound you are looking for
You are correct and only the ones that are back drop and have the Cummins Diesel cast in them will have the baffle that splits the cylinders into 3's.

I bet that B model belonged to an old demo contractor located in Shelton, WA at one time??

I have a B615 and it came with the 864. I am not certain but doubt a 615 came from the factory with the 865?

BUT, I will bet the first few times took some conscious thought???
Yes it does! I have had Australian friends come over several times to drive it to shows and I repeat myself telling them to be aware that they don't think they are back home and move over into the left lane! We have had some fun times with a passenger playing with his phone or acting as though he is sleeping when another truck or car passes on the left!. I have had officers come out of the scale houses and walk around to only find no one sitting there.

Here is a picture of Dan and Tex at the ATHS Salem OR show. Dan is everything Mike described. I remember him saying that the E-9 in his truck had the latest revised block just before the E-9 ended production?
also for a good laugh go to you tube and see Tex shut the hood on his FL FLD.

you are right about the LTL. Itch put it together 100% correct but he just didn't do the final polish on it. When that truck sold it was a helluva bargain considering how well it was put together.

Mike is good people. Help me out on some oddball engine bearings for my E9.
Yes he and his entire family are the best!! We agreed that this year he was coming out to Plymouth and the Brooks show with me. Hopefully the Brooks show will not be cancelled since it is late August but we will see! You may know this but Mike has suffered from cancer on just about every part of his body and he keeps on defeating it...………..amazing and unreal.

Got this Superliner E9 down here in Phoenix that will change what you heard real quick. LOL
1150hp to the ground in it's prime. It is turned down a bit now from its sled pulling days, still sought for sure.
A lot of the, fuel, A/C, power steering, etc, lines on top of these E9's can be rerouted to clean up the look.
I was just thinking the other day when I hooked it to my low deck and loaded the LTH logger (heavy) and the Pete 390 also heavy. I weighed in the low 70's and I went up the Siskiyou mountain doing a steady 65-70...could have done even more in it but a few of the bends I definitely sucked up the seat!!! That truck had unreal power! You could wind it up to 4000rpms and it sounded like a sewing machine. I am not sure if the firing order was modified on that or not??
