I have an R719 that I restored. I assume yours has the twin turbo V8 as well?

Did not know that they put the in line 6 in the later Valueliners. Here is the V8 model I imported over to the US.

Nice stuff......thanks for sharing.

I believe that bloat in the lower pic with the flintstone is Mr Mack himself...........Tony "the" Champion??

looked like Roadway colors on the H?

Damn it!........

I am willing and able. I could not open the picture. I have not heard of these trucks?

Ken,

I am planning on having Phil meet up with a friend who is driving my MH back. They should meet after the first day in Elko, NV. I am thinking of just having him go bobtail so there are no hassles at scales etc but a trailer will make for a better ride. I just hate to have 2 Aussies hung up at a scale driving a right hand drive truck and trying to explain themselves!!

I like those old ones!

Norm is one of my best friends! includes Jane too! Here is a pic of Norm with the usual Mack crowd that gathers at Plymouth, CA each year. Norm gets in early and defend the prime parking area for us. So I awarded him that year with the Mack king of the hill award. Of course the wine was flowing and a good time was had.

Were they actually 1005 cubes? I have been told that the 998 are as well?

I take it then that the floor is not recessed in the cab like the western B series?

sweet looking B model and first time I noticed one piece windshields on the new ones.

I need some help on this one. It is a B615? but it looks like the long aluminum hood that a 755 should have?

how did it run and drive?

Yea, the old boy is about as Texan as you can get too. He apologized several times about the bumper being on there as some neighbor kid he let drive the truck for a short while put it on it. He has the old original B bumper in chrome.

Mike, I did end up with ol G model too. Neat story on it as well.

I could never get anyone to call me back on that sleeper on CL

Let me know where to send donations to MTAA and when the next local chapter meeting is!!!!

I could really benefit from it!!

I feel fortunate to have driven a 6cyl maxidyne with a 5spd. It is a driving experience like no other engine/ tranny combo can give you. Especially when it hits that sweet spot and the torque kicks in.

Thanks! What a great time in trucking history that had to have been,.
