F700 on truckpaper
james j neiweem replied to jakebrake86's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
That F700 would make a great Smith transfer/overnitre/or Jones recreation . -
What happened to is volvo good or bad for Mack. I guess that topic got beat to death. I see that Volvo is going to try to get more involved with the construction segment. Not good. If they had half a brain they would bring back the ACar. I wonder if they sold the rights to Acar or just the refuse segment. If they sold the rights then why doesn't Autocar get into the construction market. Mack and Autocar old time nostalgia

Just speculation. The C model came out in 64-65. The last B model was in 66. U's started in 65 and r's 66. Sounds like theC model was a chance to use up the last of the L cabs and B fronts.
-
If you go to the Copar site they talk about their enviornmentally friendly SCR Macks. They also state that they do use the ferry from LI to CT I guess. They just opened a pit in CT.
-
O&G went Kenworth and tilcon Kenworth. Some good dump news in CT RI. Copar bought about 15 new Granite axle forwards.
-
Will he be back? Can't see why he left. Hope he stops in from time to time.
-
Tilcon another former Mack fleet gone to Paccar altough they still have a few Macks kicking around.
-
O & G. They used to have an awesome Mack fleet. Now they have a not so awsome Paccar fleet.

Chicago R models

Bring on more pictures of Palumbo, Celli, Bongi, Meyer etc. Chicago Macks run a close second to New York Macks. -
Central PA Macks

Other dog. I kind of agree with you on the first cruiseliners but not on the final cut before the MH. There is a tanker fleet out in wisconsin that still runs black cruiseliners. They are really sharp. While the F's were great looking in there youth they pretty much all turned into rust buckets. Those aluminum cruiseliners should be around for a while even in salty Wisconsin. -
does that cab resemble a B model or what. Resembles a Reo also. The B models were made by Chicago cab. IH at the time was from Chicago.

Chicago R models
james j neiweem replied to Lmackattack's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Celli had numerous B-42's and B-61's as well as R models. Sharp colors green/grey and red. Towards the end they had CH's and a few petes. I believe somewhere on this sight there is a picture of Mr Celli. I think they still have Macks with cement trailors. It seems that Mr. Celli is in his eighties and still works everyday. -
Wow forerunner of the H model.
-
Wasn't the iron lumg cummins with the super charger also 262 horsepower. Never heard one but that is supposed to be one mean sounding engine according to other posts on this site. Nothing better than that B-73/75 front grill.

Trading 625HP Pete for a Mack!
james j neiweem replied to MACKMADMAN's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Some one must make those reverse air intakes. I used to see them on R and F models and cruiseliners. -
New Granite Tri Axle Dump
james j neiweem replied to BAD DOG's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Granites are still not making a dent in CT with the big excavation companies. mostly paccars. Maybee after the pacraps fall apart. They are making some inroads with the onesy twosy companies. -
How many Roadway Macks with detroits and what type.
-
The demise of the US industrial base is all by design beind the scenes. The new world order boys had to weaken the US so that we can fit into their global puzzle. The tri lateral commission was the means to bring this about. One of their goals was to weaken the US and to strengthen Europeon Industrial giants and the Japaneese Korean area.

You know that reminds me seeing those savage mixers. Mack was in the front discharge mixer market until v#&*( hit the kill switch. Also hit the kill switch on Mack marine engines.So much more could be done for Mack. What a shame.
-
Obviously the engineers never heard about the guy that asked his buddy (why are you pulling/dragging that rope) and the buddy said--You ever try pushing a rope
-
Anyone know about Schwind trucking in Wisconsin. Saw some black cruiseliners at some truck show. Really sharp trucks. Are they still in business and do they still run these cruiseliners. Do they still use Macks.
-
From a Mack tour guide the Macks that didn't have hood dogs did actually have hood dogs. When delivered new they were in the passengers seat in a plastic bag.
-
Actually it was the LT(Dussenberg of trucks) that was making headway out west. I remember a quote from one of the Mack CEO's that stated that he thought that the Mack LT was the finest truck on the west coast. Should have lightened it up keep up with Paccar and shacker. Oh well should have, could have, would have.
-
O&G a once beautiful Mack fleet has gone over to Paccar
-
You know in a way they should never have gotten rid of the L model cab for the B model cab. Mack was making headway out west with the L and then it pretty much died with the B. should have kept the L out west and the B out east.
