  1. Mack will jump in and fill that market hole. Ha Ha Ha
  2. Out east here in Connecticut in the last twenty years I have seen about five granite tractors. There are more around the Boston area.
  3. I know they are few and far between but more Granite tractor please. Why so few I have no clue. I would guess they could be speced light like a Pinnacle axle foeward. Not enough of these out there either.
  4. This site has a super assortment of used Mack dump trucks (Good news) (Bad news) They were probably traded in on for Paccars.
  5. Those are some kick ass toggle switches!
  6. When I was a kid back in Illinois Material Service used to run red and yellow White 9000 coup cab mixers out of that giant quarry by the Chicago Interstate.
  7. First gear makes many models of by gone fleets using R models as subjects. I may be wrong but I think many of these fleets never had R models such as PIE Preston Campbells transcon etc. I may be wrong. I am especially curious about Transcon and the R model. I know they had Wilson U models. I read on facebook that Transcon had R models with Cummins 903's. Speaking of the 903's why weren't they ever turbo charged.
  8. Yeah good for Europe not America IMHO😌
  9. I remember as a kid back in Illinois seeing a brand new Diamond-T 921RB and a brand new Mack B-61 for OK trucking with dump trailers Trucks were both red and black with white trim. The Diamond-T had sort of a Hendrickson like front bumper. Wish I had photos of those two beauties. It was rare to see OK dumps as they usually had freight trailers Any body remember OK out of Chicago I believe. I believe DT used the A car drivers cab before the dumbass White takeover.
  10. Keep the 350 and tune or swap for an e7 400. My dumb ass opinion of course.
  11. More photos to follow I hope. How is the interior. What engine.
  12. Green one looks like ex Tomasso shined up a bit.
  13. Did the Mack A model and White coup cab share the same cab. They both came from Orville cab I believe.
  14. You have to be a Jack of all trades and master of some.
  15. Would make an oil field truck.
  16. KS: I have heard that the early Cruiseliners had problems with windshields and dashes. Is this why they never caught on as did the F model. Or was there just too much competition from Paccar White IH and Freightliner.
  17. Another reason for Mack to have the X15
  18. Sounds like T. Sessa is going to be a lucky guy.
  19. Mr. Hancock to the rescue. Offset cabs did give you a good line of sight down the drivers side. There was a predecessor to the U and DM back in the 40's or 50'sI forget the model' A huge Mack water truck sometimes makes the show circuits. FK maybe? It seems Mack out did them all by a long shot with the number of models
  20. RM had the steel butterfly hood. Usually used as municipal trucks for plowing etc.
  21. You are probably thinking of RB's that were not offset.
  22. And not the last I am sure. This has the potential to kick Mack's ass in the roll off business. VolvoZZZZZZZZ!
