    I went to the Brockway web sight and found the seven pictures of the Brockway Superliner. I don't see any resemblance at all to the Mack Superliner except for the CA47 cab. Maybee I am looking at the wrong prototype. I must admit that it seems as though Mack may have pilfered the Superliner name. Then again Mack used the liner term long before Brockway. They used to call the early H models highliners. I think the liner term even preceded freightliner.

    Explain how the Superliner started as an idea from Brockway. The picture Iv'e seen of the prototype Brockway looks nothing like the Superliner. Mack already had a long nose conventionals prior to superliner. Aka LT/B-71/73/R-700.

    Question. You said you will look through it when you get a chance. Is the public allowed to look through records at the museum?

    I believe Eaton used to make the Mack rear ends to Mack specs. Who makes them now? Also who makes the suspensions and cornerstone frames.Volvo probably makes the advantage frames

    IMHO The tricked out Pinnacle is the best looking truck on the road. Question can the grill with the large Mack letters still be purchased factory/aftermarket?

    5.8 seems like great mileage considering the weight and the hills. It would seem that the MH would get less mpg considering the frontal area.

    I thought the Mack Museum moved to a new location. When I visited there last year it was in a small cramped area.

    Kind of interesting how the Cruiseliner grill fits perfectly between the vents.

    The Mack website says the Granite is the # 1 selling class 8 straight truck chasis.

    Just being nosey. What types of topics are on the corporate and dealer forum that are off limits to others on the forum.

    Would seem like the Mack mayflower cab will be sticking around for while. Doesn't seem like they would go to the trouble of mating sleepers to the granite and maybee titan if the cab was going to be volvoized. Can't wait to see the new Superliner comming out April first(hint hint). Surely Grrrrrhd knows something about it.

    I believe many of the old B models had triple frames. Would have come in handy in this sitiation.

    It is all part of the new world order plan and our traitorous politicians are in on it and have been for a long time. At the very least they should be put away for life. We have one more chance to stop this movement in 2012. Throw the bums out(democrats/socialists/communists rhino republicans

    They are set to unveil their new construction truck at the construction expo. Saw a video of it somewhere. Maybee the cat site. Looks like a paystar clone to be sold through cat dealers.

    Any upcomming April 1 surprises?

    I remember about three years ago on this site there was a post about a new B Model test unit spotted on the interstate. Then there was mention of Volvo taking a B model and putting it in a wind tunnel and low and behold it was the most aerodynamic design ever produced. This entry went on and on about the revival of the B Model. They had me hook line and sinker and I was all pumped up as I read the entry. Towards the end it started to get a little far fetched and at the very end it was noted that it was APRIL FOOLS DAY. Does any body remember this post and where is it on the site.

    Speaking about a new truck model how about a new superliner.
  25. james j neiweem
    I suggested this to a Mack engineer and his reply was there were more parts to the R cab than the CH, there were leaks in the R cab. Seems like a weak response to me. The R cab would be ideal for a class seven truck and would allow parts for older R models to become more available again.
