  1. I see American has some white granites now. They look like they were used. They have quite a few Macks but usually see the KW's on the road.
  2. Daimler got there engines from Detroit. How about there transmisions and rear ends.
  3. How do the non Macks make 12 years.
  4. Maybee he can get them to park the Volvos out back instead of the Macks.
  5. I am surprised that the Pete is as high as the cornbinder. Never would have thought so. Very nice assortment. Are the Cherry Picker and Cannonball hiding out back.
  6. Looks like a nice barkway there also. You have photos of all of the participants. Thanks
  7. Nice catch on the red wing and the painted lady
  8. On second thought this may be a front for the Ford motor company. If Alkane is successful Ford sucks them up and Ford is back in the class 7& 8 market. If they are not sucessful then it doesn't hurt Ford's reputation. Could be a trial ballon.
  9. I mix 50/50 Shell Rotella dino and Shell T-6 synthetic. I read from a Shell petroleum engineer that these are totally compatable. Engine really cranks over fast in the winter.
  10. More power to Alkane! Another American Truck Company. Hopefully they compete positively against the Japaneese and Europeons that have the mid range cab over market locked up. They are using ford engines,transmissions and probably cabs.
  11. I'd just pull covers and find the missing keeper can't believe it didn't drop a valve! Maybee it didn't drop a valve because its a keeper from times past. You've got to pull the covers and inspect though. Good luck
  12. Gee the F model would have never gotten off the ground with that grill.
  13. What happened to bond sand and gravel from unasville ct. Don't see them around anymore. They had green RD's and newer KW's. Havn't seen much of American Industries lately either.
  14. I am thinking that cruiseliner might be in the wrong line of work
  15. Did the 527 influence the Mack MR? I always thought there were similarities. I would say the MR looks more like a Brock 527 than mack MB. I think the MR came out shortly after the Brockway shutsown.
  16. Always good to have A-Car pictures.
  17. Mud flap looks like the bad boys from Gabrielli. I don't think they were around during superliner days. Looks like they can sell and service mudflaps at least. LOL
  18. A company up in granby Ct had a couple of nice MR dumps. Started with a G. Have a few CL's. Now have gone Paccar
  19. I don't see that they are dropping the MR. It is the most popular refuse truck and concrete pumper.
  20. Did some of the Connecticut museum trucks end up in Virginia.
  21. BKrois Was that red and green DM 800 from a company up in Springfield. I think they used to have a pit off of 91. I remember Macks and Autocar mixers. Last time I was by there I didn't notice any activity.
