  1. Bring on more pictures of Palumbo, Celli, Bongi, Meyer etc. Chicago Macks run a close second to New York Macks.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Some one must make those reverse air intakes. I used to see them on R and F models and cruiseliners.
  7. 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.
  8. How many Roadway Macks with detroits and what type.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. O&G a once beautiful Mack fleet has gone over to Paccar
  16. 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.
  17. Domestic traitors are at war with the USA. We have to realize who the internal enemies are and throw there asses out of office. Obama(Communist/Muslim) for starters. Most of the Democrats and 1/2 of the Republicans.
  18. U models have a tough time on the counter clocwise rotories. It seems they can't get off.
  19. When the Signal Companies bought Mack. Mack was dead.-Wrong When Renault bought Mack. Mack was dead-Wrong When Volvo bought mack. Mack was dead.-Wrong again Mack still lives on to fight another day.
  20. DC Acar 10 wheel dump/mixer/tractor. No petes , katydids, or shakers
  21. Vinny you and grampa are the best. Can't wait to see the sidewinder all done.
  22. I can't believe this hasn't been sold long ago at that price. Love those B-75 grills.
  23. I remenber St. Johnsbury had u600's with cummins V903's. The 903's were 90 degree v-8s so there profile was lower. I think the detroits were about 60 degrees with super chargers so they sat higher. I can't remenber what model u model had the early v-8 Macks (864/5/6)
  24. Mack enthusists are Mack enthusiasts down to their core. Some may own paccars or other breeds but they rarely are enthusiasts of these other breeds. Granted vovo and diamler are europeon companies but they are owned by stockholders of many different countries including the USA. Same goes for navistar and paccar they are owned by stockholders many of them Europeon. The global economy being what it is can change overnight. Ten years from now Deere or Cat may own Volvo and Mack and Seimans may own Paccar. Chill out Mack fans the plug on Mack hasn't been pulled yet. Not in over 100 years as a matter of a fact.
