  1. the Oakville plant was built in 1966, and closed in 1993. R models(except RW's) and custom off road trucks and trailers were built there. the plant closed because of union BS! about 250 people lost jobs bobo

  2. just push on, on the motor end they are Oring. the old CMCAC is superceded to the CL style built with a 3406 or E9. Making my stock pipes too short and need the adapter pipe to fit. I made extension pipes with rubber bellows on both ends, but they blow off due to the vibrations of going down the road! so...I need the proper pipes

    the chicago warehouse has 10, but they want 180$ apiece!!!!!

  3. I worked for a printing company here in Nashville from 1973 to 1989 and we bought paper from Canada. Most of the trucks were Schneider that brought the paper to us. I cannot think of the other company. The owner was from near me in Hendersonville, Tn. was told that he passed away about four years ago.

  4. . Nice pics I don't think they sale Mack's in Canada anymore.

    very few Macks up there now, Uptown Motors used to be a Mack/Kenworth dealer, but Kw only now. you dont even see many Macks on the Hwy in northern ontairo any more. there were many R's and Rw's logging in the camps. The big paper mill in town owned then by Kimberly-Clark was the sole news print supplier from 1926 to 1991 for the New York Times. Tembec own the mill now they make paper and press board. bobo
