  1. Site looks good. I am starting to get my brain reorganized to the new tweeks. Not to easy with one brain cell you know.
  2. The last three issues of Wheels of time have a good history of the White motor company. Some very interesting history on the reasons why they went bankrupt. I would say it would be nice to see the same coverage of Mack's demise but I think KS has covered that. An interesting statement was made that the B model Mack was a contributor to Whites demise. I think the H F and R also contributed. Other factors were the recession, not converting the Diamond-t cab over to a White nameplate (5000 & 7000 were flops), going to the Autocar cab about ten years to late, getting into the farm business, not incorporating diesels into the White line up earlier enough, loss of the Freightliner franchise, not putting enough money into Autocar to compete with Mack construction trucks and keeping aging CEO,s and chairmen to long
  3. KS Noticed a posting of yours featuring an Autocar U-5044-T. This cab over is very similar to the original Mack cherry picker Identical around the windows. It is funny there were so many different truck manufactures back in the day but not as many cab manufacturers. ie. Comfo cab- Diamond -T-IH-Hendrickson-FWD-Sicard Similarities in Mack B-Reo-Studebacker-IH KB Budd cab-Ford-Mack N-Mack F-Ford CL Original White 9000-A Mack Dodge-FWD Mack L-Mack H-Autocar And more I am sure
  4. Traitor Obama is the one whose orders should not be followed. But then again he has relieved of duty any military senior officer that has expressed opposition to his policies. Michael Haydon sounds like a New World Order lackey to me.
  5. I am with you Swishy. Cat and Mack. Let Volvo ressurect White and Autocar conventional
  6. The unseen hands behind the scenes call for the assassinations and then are carried out by third parties. Good preachin there Rowdy Rebel.
  7. Your Macks are ahead also.
  8. With a little work that could be a 10,000 truck
  9. That blue R is kick butt nice.
  10. Looks like a 345,000 volt transformer.
  11. What company are the 30 new Granites. Nice factory photos. Wait I know American Industries.(Guessing) Those KW's were starting to sag in the back. Are you going to keep an RD-CL and R
  12. Dark green and pale green as I remember.
  13. I remember as a kid the newspapers and radio would advertise that something big was coming to Chicago. One time it was Folgers coffee and the next tie it was Eazor Express
  14. Would make a great motor home
  15. Vlad. That top one was the one I saw. As they say in Russia that's the cats meow. LOL
  16. Saw a twin steer MH with long wheelbase on face book. What an aw some looking truck. Any body have any pictures of these.
  17. I don't see any rear discharge mixers in Ct. Why are they more popular out west I hear front mixers are more expensive and harder to work on.
  18. Goog I didn't think that was a superliner either with that side view.
  19. Red Horse. Add to that and they are looking at acquiring Mack from Volvo.
  20. Not as oooogly as the set back axle Cat but still oogly On second thought it's not that bad.
  21. I'm guessing about 250,000 lbs
  22. Perfect amount of bling. Nice color combo.
  23. Can't beat those old adds. I believe that small cab 9000 was about 1955. Also notice the split wind shield(Never saw one of those). The small cab 9000 was my favorite White. Roadway had a ton of these back in the 50's along with B model Mack's.
  24. Simple Lund visor is the best. IMHO
  25. It would have turned out that Fiat would own Mack
