  1. HB Rob. We miss your insights and knowledge. Hope all is well
  2. In another current post it mentions the South Carolina assembly line as being the source of the first R model. I had never heard of this before. How many other plants besides Allentown, Hayward, Macungie, Plainfield and Canada were there? I know there was the South Carolina plant of the 90's and the Volvo Virginia plant. Also there were about seven plants in Allentown. I don't think I ever heard of the history of each plant. I think #7 was the huge one.
  3. Doesn't seem to be one UK truck manufacturer on the list. Take heed USA.
  4. Here is a picture of my white truck. Pretty cool color eh.
  5. This is all part of a Trojan horse plan by the islamists to infiltrate the west, institute sharia law and conquer the country. Wake up liberals and progressives
  6. Why did GM dominate the bus market?
  7. I have always wondered why the B- 70 series trucks never made in roads out west especially the L cab. It seems that the LT was making in roads out west and then the B series came out and bombed out west. It couldn't have been because of the demise of the L cab because it was used later on the C model. Pete and KW cabs were not that roomy at the time. Was it better interiors and the use of lighter components such as aluminum. I think maybee Mack was spread to thin and they couldn't give detailed attention to all areas. At the time they didn't have a factory in the west until Hayward came along.
  8. I am wondering how the moral is at Mack Corporate/Engineering since moving south under Volvo.
  9. Awsome. Did the U model come out before the R model. I remember seeing one in upstate NY in 64/65 time frame.
  10. Nicey Nice. What are the specs on that motor home. I'd like to try one of those. Did you have to lengthen the WB?
  11. What did they do to the MP8 to get 800HP
  12. Who made the first tilt cab.
  13. For there being 13000+ 865's there doesn't seem to be many survivors compared to the E-9. Was the 865 the best of the early V-8"s
  14. As good as a Mack in my opinion. What model A-car was this?
  15. Love the Mack western and the LTL
  16. Great pictures. Love those original cherry pickers. I can't see why those LTL's never caught on more to compete with KW and Pete. May bee they should have kept production of the LTL along with the B. The B was slow to catch on in the west.
  17. This is great. I'll be doing some winter reading.
  18. I would think the best place to find out about Mack history would be old Bull dog magazines.
  19. Saw an article on face book that 2700 military vehicles made by Navistar have been purchased by Homeland Security to be used on American streets. What's up O Bummer?
  20. Not wiki savvy. Would face book be a better fit? Just curious.
  21. I hope this sight doesn't die especially if Pacars and Volvos have pushing out the Macks
  22. Love those black diamond plate fenders. Just the right amount of chrome and aluminum.
  23. I think bumper guards look rugged. They have been around a long time and have the practical purpose of protecting the grill area especially the radiator. Merry Christmas to all.
