That VT 880 didn't sell well and was but ugly to boot. Bring back the Superliner you dumb ass volvo execs. Make it look something lik the Australian

Trident or Superliner. In this day of fuel efficient aero trucks there is still a niche for large cars.

Along the lines of New York asphalt trucks how about pictures stories about Chicago area construction trucks. Any pictures of Celli or Palumbo

Macks.50's thru 80's. I can remember Celli/Palumbo/Meyer/Bongi/lindahl/city materials/vulcan and 100 other italian named firms which I have forgotten.

I remember that MH on the Allentown Mack website. Long wheelbase silver red frame E-9. I think they were asking approx 12500.

One of my favorite Mack memories. Can't believe it went to Africa. Couldn't buy it then. Would buy it now. I can see why you would want that back. With the long wheel base I bet that road like a dream.

Looks like the Pooch is sad to see some of his favorite tires are leaving.

Couple of nice cruiseliners need saving.

supposedly those 262 cummins in the L's were really awsome sounding. Especially with that upper atmosphere flame thrower. Good luck. I can see this painted

black with a red frame and polished aluminum wheels and chrome.

That poor B is embarrased with those steps.

386-No U model that IMHO is a heavy speced DM you can see the big frame probably a minimum of 46000 rears. U model in that shape would probably sell for 3500-6500.

All: Was looking through truck paper and came across an interesting web site Aran Trading LTD

in Salsbury Mass. Lots of nice Macks for sale. A little pricy but they look to be in great shape. looks like they do restorations and then put them up for sale. 2 nice B-61sx dumps for sale. Hopefully they

won't end up exported. Probably won't because of price. There is another used Mack site in Mississippi with a lot of Macks much cheaper. Many of these don't get saved and end up for export.

What is up with Duie and the freightshakers and volvos. See if those junks will run as long as there CH's. Problem visions excluded of course. Sounds like the volvo salesmen had a good time selling Mack down the river.

2011 higher initial cost but it has a warrantee, probably less headaches, better mileage, higher resale and you can spec the tranny & rears to the torque and HP curves. Very

very important as you know gearing gearing gearing. The old 170hp

B-61 dumps could keep up with 220HP Acar and IH dumps because of gearing gearing gearing. Remember If it is not speced right it will never be right. Ideally a test drive loaded would be in order. Good luck.

What is that symbol under the Bulldog?

Ultimate B model candy. Like that Outlaw B-73/75. IMHO best looking truck ever made.

They should bring back the RB and DM

I see Bolus from time to time in CT. Will keep an eye out for the light blue one. Should look pretty sharp with the red frame.

Good to see Bolus is back to Mack. They purchased shakers for a while. Heard they had problems with the visions. I guess the shakers didn't

work out. Good news for Mack.

looking back in time you can see that the C model was an orphan child. L cab, B fenders, B radiator shutters, B chasis& drivetrain. The only unique thing

was the butterfly hood. This was Macks first attempt to compete with the white 9000 with the Acar cabs. It really had a short life kind of like the G model.

Rob you definately need one of these. Just wear a football helmet for the frying pan. The way I'd do it is tell Mama that you are going out to pick up a C model and that she should have some pan fried steaks ready when you get back.

Great fathers day present/pictures. Loved seeing the old Macks. The H model with the visor and texas bumper was great.

Hated seeing the pacaars except for the bull noses. What is the verdict on the Titan rear end as to manufacturer. That brown and tan cab on the assembly line looks like Manafort colors( construction demolition in ct).Thanks again

I'll have to say being a Mack fan I like them all.

Except that pesky paccar.

Nothing beats a parking lot full of Macks except maybe a junkyard full of free Macks.

Why would clents not want their truck purchases known. They will eventually be seen out working the roads.

IH does have a back up plan. They bought an emission reduction company that is working with a soild form of DEF (diesel exhaust fulid "urea"). This could be better that the current SCR system that everyone else is using. One small solid block of their "urea" equals 17 gal of our DEF and with a better shelf life and easier storage options. On the other had I worked on a brand new 2012 CXU MP7 395HP the other day, It was an ADM truck and the driver loved it, 7.5 MPG ( and gets better as it gets broken it) and plenty on power so says the driver (who is an old school driver from the 70's). He says the sister truck to his is getting into the 8 MPG range. It only had 20,000 miles on it but the factory forgot to zip tie a wiring harness and it got up against the DPF and got melted, easy fix and he was back on the road that same day. Had a Mack Engineer at our shop for a few days this week and got lots of cool info on improvements on MP engines that we cant see. They have been working non-stop on fixing issuses the we sometimes dont see.

From another sight (Hanks) Pitt-Ohio's new pinnacles with MP-7's are averaging 8 miles per gallon. That is am maze ing.

National Geographic was in this week filming for an upcoming episode of Ultimate Factories. They filmed all areas of the plant and followed a Titan down the line.

Ultimate Factories

3P. It would be nice if Roy Earnst could be there that day for an interview. He probably knows Mack history better than just about anybody. My wife and I had him as a tour guide. As I remember he started in the paint booth and worked his way up to management. This WW2 pilot was 85 years old last year when we took the factory tour and he was sharp as a tack. National Geographic ought to do a story on him.

Love those B's with the external radiator and horizontal shutters! What is the drive train setup.
