    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.

    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.
  14. 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.

    Conventional or CO? I remember reading on this sight somewhere that a new Mack truck was comming with a Cummins engine.
  16. james j neiweem
    DT-466 with wheels and an orange crate & umbrella for the driver. Should be pretty light weight.

    I guess you can only say that great minds think alike.

    That 205 was a sweet sounding engine very smooth with good turbo whine.

    Lmack I grew up in Illinois 50's and 60's. I lived near the Meyer yard in Wheeling. At that time they had about five or six B-63 turbo,d 205's for dump truck tractors. Real sweet sounding engines. The mixwes at that time were all R model IH gasers and FWD diesels. Celli B model mack dumps were all over the place building the Interstates. I left Illinois before the Celli R models. Also alot of Bongi and palumbo B models around then. Funny thing I noticed when I was a youngan all of the Dump truck operators seemed to be Italian in origin. When I moved out east it was also the same situation. You might say the Italians helped keep Mack alive.

    I believe you guys have throughly kicked my but on the Cummins issue. My concern was for Mack to be more competetive since so many companies are set up for Cummins as far as training and parts. Have a good one.
  21. james j neiweem
    All of the US truck manufacturers except Daimler and Mack offer Cummins Diesel engines. Why not Mack? Get your head out of your backside volvo.
  22. james j neiweem
    Bring the Superliner, Trident and mid range over from Austailia. Keep the Granite. New cab for MR and LE. Put the Trident hood on the CH axle forward. Keep the pinnacle axle back. Offer Cummins engines across the board. Simplify and bullet proof the electronics. Keep the Mack transmissions, axles and suspensions. Get as versatille as Paccar, Navistar and shaker.
  23. james j neiweem
    If that Australian rumor is true the question of is volvo good or bad for Mack would be answered. Lets hope it is a rumor.
  24. james j neiweem
    I thought when v@@@@ bought Mack they cut ties with Dana. maybee it was just the rear ends
  25. james j neiweem
    Back in the 50's and 60's I believe Mack frames were made by a company called parrish. Who made them after that and who makes them now. Also who made the L B H G and R cabs. I believe mayflower makes the CH. Not really important in the grand scheme of things but one of those nice to know historical things.
