Without the LTL's and B models that Mack made, some of the coolest cab and grilles I would have had way less choices for my art work.

Thank you Mack for the great designs!

What is this baby used for and why?

Well the truth is it was built in conjunction with Hitachi for use in Japan building nuclear reactors until the quake happened a few years back. Since that happened

this crane {other than going through testing} has not been used. Lampson was paid in full by Hitachi and Hitachi is looking for any local work they can muster.

If any of you folks know of any jobs for it you might drop Hitachi a line.

Ran across this picture of a nice B tow truck on another forum. Anybody know about this one. That's a A-Car on the trailer.

Great, thanks for letting me know I always worry about packages being lost or damaged.

                                      No pictures, that always makes me wonder If it's for real or foolery.

Yes, it is.

                               Are saying it is a Mack or it's a nice picture?  The reason I want to know if it is a Mack in this pic, it's in a logging museum and the curator wants to know what year it is

                               and the make.    Thanks for the replies.

I would think these would sell like hotcakes at truck shows such as Matts Macungie etc.

                                Again I appreciate your input but I live in Walla Walla, Wa. about the only close truck show is in Brooks, Or. Plus when you do those types of things most

                                 shows require a vendors license or business license. Plus some shows charge a fair amount for a booth. So by the time you include the gas, food

                                and motel you might brake even.  The ones who make money at truck shows are the food vendors.

ATHS forums discussion on the V-12 GMC, topic 92709.

GMC did produce a few with factory 12v-71's. I saw a day cab with one in the late 70's. This CM 90 Chev sold for $5,800 a month ago.

Wow that one looks to be in good shape.

I think that depends on which side of the U.S. your on. There are lots of 20 year old FLD and FLC Freightliners running around the west coast. Mack dealers are few compared to Pete, KW and Freightliner out west. The main buyers of Mack out here are city and county and they use to mainly buy Ford LN series.

                                             I don't know about Macks guide lines for frame repair but I will throw in PacCar's approach and by their book of guide lines.

                                              The cut should only be vertical, the insert rail should extend no less than three feet from welded frame joint and no less than six 5/8" flange bolts

                                              spaced equally apart vertically and no more than 2" from splice or weld. I have always done them this way, 70 plus of them. And I always preheat

                                              the rail and stick weld with 7018 DC. The weld is usually 5/8" wide.  It's always worked well for me.
