New anthem design attributes or lack there of!
gxbxc replied to fjh's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
The problem with the diverter is from the body builder ,or up fitter as some people like to call them .They installled the dump body not Western Star , and their mind set is get it done and collect the cash. The new Autocar says they will build the truck and body together at their factory . -
I find that if you see something at Northern tool , Get it because if you wait six months they may not be selling them any more .

Last year when I was circling the drain with congestive heart failure ,while I was in the hospitial bed I felt something slide up on the bed just Like my old Doberman Ajax used to do when he was sneaking into bed with me . and as it was he pasted with congestive heart failure in 1983, I guess he was waiting for me ,so we could go for a walk together again. And no it wasn't a nurse I ain't that good looking any more .

For some one who loved that dog , you sure provided a lousy ass seat for him you could have at least put a rug or blanket on it , and how did the wife like riding on it when you kicked him out . Any way sorry for your loss of a good friend,my past dogs .still hold a special place in my heart .

I think they hid a steam locomotive behind the truck in the first video ,with all that dust/smoke sure looks like s steam engine
-
There sure are a bunch of old Fords still making their owners money ,not bad for a truck that was extint a decade ago
-
I did a little internet searching and it looks like the shop built truck is in the US also by looking at some of the pictures It might have Mack Planetary rears But if someone can get better info please enlighten us

Is this truck in the US or Australia . You don't hear much about them in the US any more ,at least not sense the stadium roof fell

If I could drive something like that I would become a garbage man,

Volvo's 2020 Mack brand calender to include "pedigreed" trucks
gxbxc replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
I was stuck like that with the Mack I drove in the eighties , Took a KW wrecker to wrecker to get it out ,just barely. Slid into a backfilled utility ditch,truck went down to the bottom edge of the door ,tires completly under mud. -
Being a 2-10-2 that is a d&m big locomotive ,no problem it's a job for Mammoet. and about a million bucks

Mack Australia - The other Value-Liner
gxbxc replied to kscarbel's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
I have a question ,what kind of trucks are on the step deck in the second picture. -
My guess is it is grossing 80,000+

While I was lost in the woods in Pa I found an old fashion hotdog stand ,the place was huge ,there were picknick tables all set under a roof and there was an asphalt floor there were like 4 or 5 seperate order stations selling different food . I have never been back but it is some place west of I81 and south of Scranton.

I ate with the Family and some friends at a German place in Nashville ,( it is across the street from titian stadium ) and they. had an LGB train running on the floor in one end of the dining room .I remember the kids were all laying on the floor watching it .My Irish wife was mortified because the place was was not up to her 4 star standards , but the people who ran the place were friendly as all get out when they found out I was German . and the food was good

Speaking of Strasburg you missed some must see items 1,the operating train layout with the hobby shop up stairs and the Ice cream parlor ,2,is off to the west a mile or so on the other side of town is one off the most awsome minnie golf courses I have ever played , And when you stayed in the Red Caboose motel did you eat in the dining car restaurant.I have eaten there many times .Lancaster Pa. is a treasure trove of must see places as well as just plan tourist traps ,that are fun to see once .and don't forget a side trip up to Lititz in the fall for Mack truck show . and a stop at the Wilbur Chocolate company.

Well tell us more about the DM800 Brian just bought ,you can't leave us all hanging

I like the grill , and the "nostrils" could give more cooling to a larger radiator . As for the 1930's cabover grill it adds a piece of Auto Car heritage to it and it also had the "nostrils" but they were just panels .I give it a 100% like. And as for Acars of old I don't think they made a decient grill sense the 50"s The heavy trucks with there open shutters and big brush guard were tough looking but who could say the flip phone plastic hood and grills of the end of the production were inovative. And come on guys give them there due ,you aint never going to get a new Superliner from Volvo

I used to have a photo of 4012 at bellows Fall from 1972 Had my oldest son while just a toddler sitting on the front pilot step .He was dwarfed by the size of the big boy. visited it again a few years ago in Scranton. I want to say that they loaned #3985 or#844 to Clinchfield for the Santa run back in the 90's just before the announced they were shutting down the steam operation . I was suprised to say the least to see they revived it .Must have been a change in top managment.
