    Ditto that BCR. I used to see that Mack dealership on the way to Comisky Park also. The year Maris hit 61 I got to see him hit one. Mantle followed with a rising line drive that hit the center field score board. Kind of forgot about Mack's that day.

    Are the current Detroit Diesels total Mercedes influence? Is there any Detroit 4 cycle influence left.

    The latest edition of wheels of time is a real treat. They have an extensive article on the L model Macks.

    I never heard of BMT Investors.

    I guess he is gambling on Volvo moving in a positive direction. Might be a time to buy.

    When Mack was Mack. Then again you could argue that Mack hasn't been Mack since before Signal.

    Lets not call it a glider but can a Mack cab and chassis be purchased from the factory? It seems that if the factory is not at full production they could make it so that it wouldn't be disruptive to production.

    How about the AP. Was that a bigger version of the AC.

    Navistar also has a big military presence

    Volkswagon should pack their bags and head back to Germany and take Diamler and Siemans with you. Who the Hell won the war anyway.

    Good picture for seeing the contrast between the L and B cabs.

    Mack mechanical E-6 350, E-7 400, E9 500 with Mack 18 speed, or Allison auto and Mack rears with camel backs or Hendrickson suspension might be a start. Aluminum cab to boot lasts a long time.

    Do I see black and red in its future?

    Kind of looks like a ford aero max with camofloge

    Makes you wonder if Mack was the first manufacturer to use I beams as frames.

    Yup that's the one and there was another one just like it. This was probably used during the construction of the Northfield mountain pumped storage power plant. When they tore down the Connecticut Yankee power plant they used the A-car AP 19.

    From time to time I hear reference on this site to the Marino Mack LRSW and their Autocar AP-19. Actually they had or have two of these LR beasts. They were both painted red and black about fifteen-twenty years ago in Portland Ct. I know Marino was bought out by Bernhard a few years ago. I am not sure if they still have the Macks or the Autocar.

    Love those old Mack factory photos.

    Quality Carriers from Wisconsin was a milk hauler. Used Blue Mack B models and H models back in the day.

    Way to send all of the factories overseas Kennedy,Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Busch, Clinton, Busch, Obama, Hillary? Maybe Trump can slow this down. Its doubtful though. Too much money to be made and too many traitors in the mix (Dem and Rhino establishment traitors) IMHO of course.

    I wonder what the specs were

    Matters got buddies.

    There were a lot of pictures of LT's in the logging industry. That's likely where the bad rap came from. Poorly speced trucks are the fault of the Engineers and sales people. Paccar probably was delighted when Macks failed. Pacific and Hayes filled the logging gap. Mack and Kenworth both owned Hayes at one time seeing that it was better to buy a proven product rather than re inventing the wheel.

    Like you say QA at the factory. Zip ties I guess you can expect that on the newer plastic trucks. There are different grades of zip ties hopefully they use the higher quality ones. I guess the old metal clips with rubber inserts are to time consuming and are not as adaptable.
