Looks a lot better than the Diamler.

Their goal is to overtake Mack in the refuse business.

One year shy of the last ones made.

Sweet ride.

Jesus be with you Mike.

Nice truck.

If only Volvo would support Mack the way Daimler does Western Star.

Impressive. I wonder why Daimler dropped their turbo compound engine.

Why doesn't Autocar produce conventional trucks? Does the Volvo sell off prohibit making a conventional?

I agree. Freightliner has options if the labor union wants to shoot itself in the foot.

Noonan runs macks, peterbilts and kenworths also with at least one volvo

Mexico is not to far away.

A lot of mixer chassis sell for relatively cheap .prices. Good potential for dumps or tractors. DM 800's were brutes.

Love those Brockway axle forwards. Karma caught up with Mack for dumping Brockway the way they did.

If you go to bing maps you will see a lot of Suzio old iron in the weeds at their Meriden Ct. location.

Now its MP-7 and 8 period. Woops forgot the baby Cummins.

Looks like more parts and pieces.

There have been traitors on the boards of directors of major US corporations and the US Government probably from about the 1970's. The major purpose of the Tri Lateral commission was to make Europe and Japan stronger and the US weaker. It has worked to perfection because it has been designed as such. The number of US industrial companies that have been taken over is legion. Combustion Engineering, Westinghouse, JI Case, International Harvester, New Holland. Allis Chalmers, Mack, White, Freightliner, Detroit Diesel etc. etc. etc. GE will probably sell their locomotive division to Siemens and spin off other industrial assets as well unless they get their act together. Just plain f'n sad.

There are still a few of these around at reasonable prices.

This thread is enough to make your head explode. I feel your pain.

Was the White Constuctioner pretty much an Autocar clone and were they built in a White factory or Autocar factory.

Good job bulldog

Where do you have to go to get Cats worked on nowadays. Construction dealers?

Is that the same PJ's that runs the roll offs

Tell Volvo there is more to selling just a few hundred heavy haul trucks. Those sales eventually filter down to the dumps/mixers etc. When a customer has to go to Paccar or Western Star as the only option in heavy haul they tend to buy other products from them and steal away customers from Mack. Examples in Ct are O&G/ Rawson, Tilcon, Manafort and Herb Holden. American Industries is a recent exception but they still use Paccar for heavy haul.
