    I can see why White dropped Sterling in favor of Autocar. A face only a mother could love.🙂

    That beautiful L model was in a video on you tube from Daily Diesel Dose titled Mack family.

    When I was a young lad I worked at Hartford Ct Mack for a while. Old brick building in the run down section of town. One day an owner operator came in with an F model sleeper with the then new Maxidyne 325 V-8. The whole shop went over for a gander. Sure wish I had one today.

    They were one of the most popular fleet trucks of the day. They were made of non galvanized steel so there are not many survivors.

    Lets hope they don't kill off construction and heavy haul comes back.

    Needs one of those Superliner II bumpers {flat in the middle and extended and tapered on the sides). Not to worry still looks good upside down.

    I like the looks of the Volvo VHD but it needs a more rugged looking bumper.

    I don't see why they didn't offer the plus four CH cab. May bee they are trying to use up the old cabs( Minus four) like they did with the L cab with the B and C series Macks.

    I wonder why they did not use the + 4 cab or did they.

    Jam Bulldog: Greetings, They don't just become fodder for the European globalists by accident. The board of directors vote on it and the CEO rubber stamps it. US industry pays more attention to the shareholders than the long range good of the American Industry. Too bad' more US capital doesn't step up to the plate and invest in our industrial base.

    Sorry to hear that.

    after Brexit the UK needs a little business.

    Why did Volvo lead with the Mack as a medium duty entry. Why not Volvo? I think they are testing the waters with Mack in case it flops. Don't see why it should though.

    Good point Vlad. Probably would be hauled by a hotshot or blinged out Paccar in today's world.

    F***in A Awful. A word to the board of directors at Navistar. Stiffin up those rubbery spines and get some balls!!! Skeeru the share holders. You might be eligible for a government bail out like GM and Chrysler seeing that you are a US defense industry supplier. Enough of this European raiding of our industries.

    KS: I know a Roadway driver from the Mack era and he says they did have Mack's with Mack power during the R/U era. I am not sure how many. Obviously they had Mack power on the B's and H's. Not sure about the Mack F's and not sure if Roadway ran maxidynes. Roadway was all over the place as far as vendor model engines. Mack Cummins Detroit. Transmissions may have been more standardized.

    Maybe it will generate some dollars for a new USA Superliner with big power for heavy haul/lowboy/dump trailer/ Logging etc. Needs a few chrome accessories. I like the cab and bumper, grill not so much. Need to get rid of that hideous bow tie on all of their vehicles and give the long proven vertical or horizontal grill as an option.

    Benhoff looks like they could have given Orville/Coachlight a run for the money. Not impressed with Orvilles delivery vehicles to the Mack factory.
  21. james j neiweem
    Almost looks like a DM 600?
  22. james j neiweem
    Which Mack CH's and CHU's were the best years. What were the major differences between the AF CH and the AF CHU.
  23. james j neiweem
    Very nice example of a U

    The reason you see so many similarities in cabs from these times was that orville was the cab maker for many manufacturers such as Mack, IH, Studebaker, White, Ford. Look at the similarities to cabs used by Mack B, IH KB, Studebaker and Reo. Integral sleeper cabs on Mack l &B, White and Ford. Window similarities on the Mack A and the White coup cab. Exceptions were the Autocar drivers cab and IH's comfort cab. These IH cabs were used on Available , IH, Hendrickson, FWD, Sicard and Diamond T. I believe I read somewhere that The comfort cab was made by a company in Chicago called Chicago cab. There sure is a lot to this truckers hobby.😐

    And most importantly many more to come.
