Heading down I95 in CT today I saw 3 ford long nose coventional dumps. White cabs and gray boxes. I wonder who they were for.

Some Superliner Pics.
james j neiweem replied to jackb61sx's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Vinny if only they moved the cab off to the side on the Super liners. -
The flathead whites were great sounding engines

Vlad: Roadway had a ton of detroits in U-Models I believe both V-8's and V-6' The cab had to be raised because the detoit V's were not 90 degree V's like the cummins 903's. I believe they were abot 60 degrees making there profile higher. Couple this with the supercharger on top of the engine thus you needed a higher cab. I believe the Mack and Cummins V-8's would fit in the standard U-model such as used by St. Johnsbury and watkins.

Kenworth, Peterbilt Predict Higher Sales
james j neiweem replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
Not only more makes but more models also. On any given day there was a chance that you could go down the road and see an H model, G model, F model or cruiseliner. And also every color combo under the sun. -
Its funny how Mack and White both moved west and western star is still here and M ack western is long gone. As a matter of fact western star is now moving east. I think they are going to be built in North Carolina

Mass Construction Trucks
james j neiweem replied to BKrois's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Saw a Sweeny Mack Pinnacle down in CT. It was painted white. Not as sharp as the old red and yellow scheme. Not exactly a construction truck but it was a Mass truck. -
Chicago R models

Nice rugged B's. I guess the first dog can fill in as a coat hook. -
These people (Communists/Socialists/progressives/liberals/Dummycrats/Rinos) are dumb like a fox. They are not stupid. We are stupid. We put them in office with a lot of help from voter fraud.

These types of problems couldn't happen on a mechanically popped injector from yesteryear.

FOR SALE 1996 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel engine
james j neiweem replied to BKrois's topic in Parts for Sale
That is a 300-400k engine with a liitle care. Injectors are only 15 dollars a apeice compared to 350 dollars on the new ones. Repair or replace the oil pan while its out of the truck. Oil pan rust was about the only problem on a 7.3. Crankshaft sensor was another minor problem. -
KS I believe you are right about the unions at that time pushing management to the wall and not budging or comprimising. A lot of US companies were lost in the industrial north and midwest because of union tactics. I tend to think behind the scenes there was communist influence in the unions. Now they are trying to get a strangle hold on the public sector. Not a good trend for the rest of us.

KS Volvo bought White and GMC for their nationwide dealer network and the assembly plant in Virginia. What were they after with Mack other than to knock off a competetor.
-
KS Great Mack history lesson. What products did Mack have scheduled for the 90's. Vision and Granite come to mind.

PROGRESS ON MY B aby
james j neiweem replied to rustydog's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Nice job! B model with a liitle leg room. -
The B's , R's, Brocks and A-cars were all metal. What did Paccar ever make on there own? Sheet metal, fiber glass and now plastic.
-
I didn't mean CL I meant CH. No over the road big power. CL was a great workhorse. My only point was that Mack failed in the 90's under their own management and they can't blame Volvo for that.
-
Mack was strong up until the 90's There product offering in the 90's really hurt them. Then came the vision in the era of the bad engines. The Granite got off to a good start but then the bad engines slowed them down. they are making somewhat of a comeback now but Volvo won't let them really take off like say in Aussie Land.
-
I think the CL never caught on was because it was only offered as a set back axle. Can't blame V!$#Vo for that. It certainly didn't catch on for over the road big power. The CH had a forward axle but no big power. Thus the heavy haul and long haul was lost. You can only blame Mack for that.
