Nice little B wrecker. That would look good with a shaker or Paccar in tow. That DM 800 is a beast.

I often wondered what an R model would look like with a CH cab. As the boss said " I think we nailed it". Time will tell.

I wonder if this will be just for the CX or CX and CH.

Looks like the bold Mack letters are back on the grill.

Right on BCR.

Maybe Cat should have built a truck on a Cat platform and skipped the IH linkage. There was no uniqueness there.

Well done. Kick Paccars ass.

Beautiful H-67

Wish they ran Granites with those trailers out here in the east. Very few granite tractors in Ct. Eastern Mass has a quite a few.

You may be right about that.

BNSF and a contract to run Canadian shale oil to Louisiana keeping the pipe line shutdown during King Obamas reign.

Gee in 1954 Mack could extend a B-61 hood for a Cummins. And do it in style I might add. In 2017 they can't extend a Pinnacle or Granite hood for a big bore engine. Go figure.

Berkshire Hathaway(Warren Buffet) : Buy Mack.

KS: As usual our opinions are different. The difference is my opinions are just that opinions from my perspective. Your opinions are more closely tied to facts.

Too be fair Mack has six models--- Pinnacle AF and AB/Granite AF and AB/MR and LR. Rawhide isn't a model its a trim level. Still way behind Volvo/Paccar/Navistar/Freightliner and Western Star. A company that made every model under the sun and shipped them all over the world is now in last place as far as selection. Can't blame Volvo for every thing. Mack has been bleeding(divesting) for many years. Fire apparatus gone. Logging gone. Heavy off road gone. Heavy haul gone. Mid range gone. Signal bailed them out and dumped them. Renault kept them alive and dumped them. Volvo has turned them into an uncompetitive product on a Volvo chassis powered by a Volvo drive train. Sad for the long time loyal Mack users. Mack did it to themselves by not taking care of business way back when. On a minor brighter note- New model coming in the fall????

Hindering Mack!

Awesome thread. To bad the western models didn't move out of California to the Midwest or south central states like Western Star (Utah) or Paccar (Texas)

Is that Diamond-T 900 from the closed Ct museum?

Was the DC Donald duck IH's first attempt on a tilt hood.

Volvo hopes they can fill the holes.

Beautiful C and a junkie Donald Duck in the background.

Nice classic Macks

Hideous grill Looks like you can get a glider or complete truck.

KS: Come back to the states and take charge at Mack. And bring the Superliner/Trident with you. Too many poisonous snakes in OZ.

KS: I like your comment about who would they turn the reins over to as all of the top management at Mack are probably Volvo guys. Teamster: Maybe disposal would be a good thing. It would have to be someone with a nationwide distributer network like Cat Deere etc. If a deal was made some of the Mack dealerships would have to be part of the deal. Wish in one hand and cow poop in the other.
