  1. Looks better than state side KW's
  2. Underdog what you say makes sense. Sounds like a fibbin Ferd spokesperson to me. Squeeze all the profits out of the 2016's that you can.
  3. What the F___ suspension problems! They had suspensions down pat 40-50 years ago (Camel backs 70 years ago) Must be cheap materials, under design as opposed over design and letting the horses out of the barn before testing.
  4. Did Allison go to Diamler along with Detroit.
  5. That Trident axle forward is the best looking truck on the planet with old school spec sheets to boot. With offerings from Cummins, Volvo, Meritor, Dana, Eaton and Mack. It seems like Aussie models would work in Canada and some western states. Maybe all states with future regulation changes.
  6. Is the black Mack a Trident or a Superliner? They need to bring that over here. Shouldn't take much. Looks like the hood would do it
  7. Nice. They need to get rid of those Titan fenders. They are sooo uuuglee
  8. lucky no propane tanks or fuel in the area
  9. While looking through the latest issue of wheels of time there was an article about a gentlemen and his small fleet of assorted dump trucks. One was a side view of a 66-68 3 axle dump. It had the Dodge hood of that era and the article said it was a Dodge. If you look at the cab it looks identical to the CA67 R model. Did Sheller Globe use the R model cab in the Dodges of that era. Since there weren't that many dodges of that size around this may have went under the radar. After exploring the internet this may have been a Mack with a Dodge hood.
  10. Latest issue of wheels of time has a great article on Autocar AP's (Off road dumps). Also nice article on Gerosa Autocars.
  11. As a rough guess what is the percentage of Mack's in the construction business in Illinois (Midwest) today, compared to Paccar, etc. I think they used to be 50% +.
  12. Pray to Jesus Mr. City. All the best God bless.
  13. Underdog: Another simple mind agrees with you
  14. Take over Saudi Arabia. Refugee and oil problem solved. Why is it that Europe and North America have to solve the refugee problem? What about the rest of Africa and South America. Doesn't Europe and the US realize that the Muslims are trying to conquer them from within.
  15. Why do we jump all over Mack for being a Volvo with a different cab and hood. Paccar has been doing this for years with Pete and KW. For now anyway you can still get Mack transmissions/rears and springs.
  16. Would make a nice motor home
  17. Nice work so far. Growing up in Illinois I never saw a B81. but I saw plenty of these brutes
  18. Timmy B Great comment. Come on Log Trucker, we still like you.
  19. I wonder if this will use the Diesel block or the reverse flow intake exhaust.
  20. It looks like the IH DCO would be very difficult to see anything near the truck
  21. I believe peening makes the weld area less brittle. Also make sure you use the proper weld wire or rod. Good luck.
  22. The CL was a decent truck but shurly no replacement for the Superdogs. I wonder what a CH cab with a Superliner hood would look like. Any Rteests or photo choppers out there.
  23. I don't think they offered Detroits in the L's. May bee in the fire service.
