  1. What is the story on the red DM. Is that a JV 111.
  2. If Mack USA had the independence that Mack Australia has it would be a good thing. Volvo has the dog on a choker collar over here.
  3. Sounds like a lot of things were put into production before R&D and test trials were done. Probably in trying to keep up with the competition a lot of regrettable decisions were made
  4. Yup single axle B or R with smaller wheels is the way to go. Nice job on the B though. How about a ch with smaller wheels-Yuk!
  5. May bee the 707 was the first edition of the 711. They must have done something to get the extra 4 cubic inches. Possibly head volume or maybe the Mack mathamititions were having a bad day.
  6. Good job BCR! Thats the trailer article I remember seeing around 1970.
  7. I believe St Johnsbury had a bunch of U models with Cummins 903's. Watkins had V-8"s in U models . Not sure if they were Cummins or Mack. Roadway of course had the V detroits.
  8. I always thought the 707 was a gas engine.
  9. The Mack ultra Liner got retired way before its time. That truck could still be reintroduced today and it would be up to date
  10. I remember adds for the stars and stripes Macks in 71 or 72
  11. Doesn't get much better than a valueliner.
  12. I believe Mack was going to manufacture van trailers in about 1970 or so. I remember seeing an old ad for this.
  13. As I recall I think Mad dog nailed it. I saw the ENDT 673 205's in 1960 0r 1961.
  14. Most American companies don't think long term like the Europeons and Japanese. Americans are just in it to turn a buck. The Europeons and Japanese think survival.
  15. Do you have any Ulrichs? I remember when they were $ 2.99 per kit.. That was a lot of money then.
  16. I opened up play time to a few of my first gear Macks for the grand kids. At first it was a disaster. Broken mirrors, exhausts, bulldogs, mud flaps etc. Now they have started to reach equilibrium. They sort of look like a group of quarry or pit trucks. Definitely worth it the grand kids love them.
  17. What kind of wood do you use in your spokes? Hickory I bet.
  18. One of these is stilli running around Connecticut. A white one for Clark running petroleum out of Cromwell I believe.
  19. :twothumbsup:Looks like you would need an M-100 for that pair.
  20. Between Japan, Europe, Korea and India they own about 75 % of the car market and China is just getting started. Way to be asleep at the switch America.
  21. Is a polished peterbilt a peterski.
  22. Same as colors as Butler Macks from Connecticut. Don't think the Butlers are 65'000's. Should have good resale value like the RD 800's. Then again they were all pre EPA.
  23. Vinny.Looks like your going to be a Mack expert yet
