  1. Looks like an old southeastern freight lines truck with frame extension.
  2. Why hasn't Volvo dumped Mack yet like they did White, GMC, Autocar ? What seems to be their end game? Daimler promotes American icons like Freightliner and Western Star and Detroit. They keep the Daimler ego in the background.
  3. Where are the Mack engineers such as Dave McKenna who used to post on the Mack website and Mack 3P who used to post on here. Miss their inputs.
  4. Probably not a lot sold because they were heavy compared to Paccars
  5. PIE had a few western F models also
  6. What was the last year/years of the Mack mechanical engines.
  7. Timmy: That kind of sums up the difference between the Mack/ Volvo relationship and Western Star/ Freightliner. Daimler doesn't care if Western Star intrudes on Freightliner IMHO.
  8. I can see Western Star killing off Mack in North America-unfortunately. Diamler has deep pockets and they are innovative. They have their own engines, transmissions and they run Western Star like Volvo should run Mack.
  9. Makes sense. Keep Ram for the pickup and Dodge for the big boy. I could see this cutting into Mack's regional hall.
  10. DS -Good information. Let us know if there are any positive changes.
  11. Australian Mack COE in the cards? They had two if I remember when Renault ran the show. Might be a good time to ship the Superliner or Trident over to North America.
  12. Agree good looking truck. Would look good with Mack or Scania across the front.
  13. Like you say certainly not hard to do. I think not offering a superliner like product in the USA speaks volumes about Volvos commitment to Mack. Volvo wants Mack to be a little sister. Volvo doesn't care about Mack competing with the other truck manufacturers. They just don't want Mack competing with Volvo. It would be nice if Volvo pulled out of the North America and just pushed the Mack brand.
  14. One wrench stroke at a time gets the job done.
  15. I don't believe they built the MP 10 or D16 at Hagerstown but in Sweden, however like log trucker says what is the big deal on shipping them to the US as they do to Australia. It would be a dealer part item (special order).
  16. Mack pro good detective work- mack pro and fjh keep up the good work-Guys like you keep the Mack name alive. Can't offer a radiator in a Granite for a 505- Give me a break. Can't offer bigger than a 12,000 lb front axle in a ch, again give me a break. 14 & 20's come down the same assembly line at the chassis assembler for granites. When the T-800's needed a bigger radiator they changed the hood to accommodate.
  17. Seems as though Volvo bends over backwards to keep Mack customers happy.
  18. Mack has pulled all reference to Titan-heavy haul and MP 10 from its web site. Looks like no alternatives are being offered as there is no longer a reference to Heavy Haul.
  19. Coles had CO Diamond Reos if I remember right. Remember right. Remember right. May bee some 90 inch BBC conventionals also.
  20. Will be the sharpest Mack in Russia.
  21. Volvo drops the Titan and keeps the VNX! That pretty much says it all about what Volvo thinks of Mack. Can't get an MP 7 in a CHU -Sick-Sick-Sick
  22. As I remember there weren't that many axle forward Brocks with the Mack cab. Beautiful blue Brock. Looks as good as a Superdog if not better.
