    I've seen a lot worse B's. That White 9000 is a keeper. Not to many escaped the scrapper. One of the greatest tributes to the iconic Mack truck is the fact that Mack and White were pretty much neck and neck as far as sales went back in the 60's and seventies. The Macks made it to a second and third life and then to restoration. The Whites made it to the scrap yard.

    I like the American visors for Mack R's better than the Aussie version. Do any of the down under R's have American(Lund I believe) visors. It looks like the down under version may have better sun glare protection though.

    Brandy new. Looks like a work around if gliders are not available. As long as you can get parts.

    A well thought out plan would be to lay off half of the people at EPA. Then instead of mandating their ideas (which in some cases may have merrit) float their ideas before the applicable industries and let them implement using the competative spirit.

    The original H-61's were cool looking vehicles (cherry pickers). I hear they had steering issues. X211 might stand for experimental.

    I can't see Granite MHD filling that niche.

    Are the new pinnacles CNG or diesel?

    Rat probably sounds nice.

    Anyone with drawing/camera/computer skills that can super impose that superliner hood on to the CH cab. Just curious what it would look like.

    Mack ( the Icon) is not squeaky clean in this re guard. Remember they wanted to build a factory in the Soviet Union in the 60/70's or so. The government nixed it. We don't have much control over Volvo, I guess we could pass some sort of legislation to prevent vehicles made/assembled in America from reaching Iran. Big money is more important than principal. But then again there is no principal in the executive or legislative parties in this country. No principal-only agenda.

    What percentage/# of KW's-Macks-others does this company have.

    :twothumbsup:Great job. I got 1 out of three. I got the time but not the patience or talent.

    Like the good news. Seems like they could replace a purge valve without the tank. I guess the tank people have to eat to though.

    Was that a Connecticut Jawarski superliner with writing on the back of the sleeper to the effect that this was the last Superliner.

    Welcome aboard. Now the straight talk. Unless you have a boat load of money I can't see how you will make it if you buy all of this equipment new such as a Titan. You can get used equipment in good shape for 1/4 to 1/2 the price. Ease on in to it and get the business profitable. There is a lot of competition out there with older equipment(less overhead). Good luck!

    Would you expect anything different from the commies in charge. Option A -the right choice. Option B the nonsencical choice. They choose B every time.

    There is no reason why a single shaft transmission can't be made as stong as a double or triple countershaft. Metallurgy being the same shaft cross section is the key.

    blackdog would that be the Montville garage. I thought I remember hearing good things about them.

    Cardi Mack construction heave n.

    Looks way better than that Renault Magnum

    Who says there are no Mack gliders. Just a different approach that's all. All mechanical to boot. Might be hard finding good cabs though
