    Yup single axle B or R with smaller wheels is the way to go. Nice job on the B though. How about a ch with smaller wheels-Yuk!

    May bee the 707 was the first edition of the 711. They must have done something to get the extra 4 cubic inches. Possibly head volume or maybe the Mack mathamititions were having a bad day.

    Good job BCR! Thats the trailer article I remember seeing around 1970.

    I believe St Johnsbury had a bunch of U models with Cummins 903's. Watkins had V-8"s in U models . Not sure if they were Cummins or Mack. Roadway of course had the V detroits.

    I always thought the 707 was a gas engine.

    The Mack ultra Liner got retired way before its time. That truck could still be reintroduced today and it would be up to date

    I remember adds for the stars and stripes Macks in 71 or 72

    Doesn't get much better than a valueliner.

    I believe Mack was going to manufacture van trailers in about 1970 or so. I remember seeing an old ad for this.

    As I recall I think Mad dog nailed it. I saw the ENDT 673 205's in 1960 0r 1961.

    Most American companies don't think long term like the Europeons and Japanese. Americans are just in it to turn a buck. The Europeons and Japanese think survival.

    Do you have any Ulrichs? I remember when they were $ 2.99 per kit.. That was a lot of money then.

    I opened up play time to a few of my first gear Macks for the grand kids. At first it was a disaster. Broken mirrors, exhausts, bulldogs, mud flaps etc. Now they have started to reach equilibrium. They sort of look like a group of quarry or pit trucks. Definitely worth it the grand kids love them.

    What kind of wood do you use in your spokes? Hickory I bet.

    One of these is stilli running around Connecticut. A white one for Clark running petroleum out of Cromwell I believe.

    :twothumbsup:Looks like you would need an M-100 for that pair.

    Between Japan, Europe, Korea and India they own about 75 % of the car market and China is just getting started. Way to be asleep at the switch America.

    Is a polished peterbilt a peterski.

    Same as colors as Butler Macks from Connecticut. Don't think the Butlers are 65'000's. Should have good resale value like the RD 800's. Then again they were all pre EPA.

    Good old thermodyne 170. Would run forever.

    Better to pay a little extra than miss out on what you want. Same goes for ebay when they say buy it now. If its perfect for your needs then buy it now and the heck with the auction.. I guess theoretically the auction could be higher than the buy it now price.

    I guess I'm getting blind on top of deef. I was trying to stop the video but couldn't control the technology. Don't know why they don't have a front discharge mixer. I guess it wouldn't fit on a V_____ chassis.. Don't know why they don't try putting one on a Mack low forward chassis.

    Saw a video on you tube about the world of concrete show. I think they were doing a walk around of the Mack MHD. In the background there was a yellow mixer with Mack in black letters on the drum. Funny thing was the mixer was a front loader. Anybody know any thing about this.

    How many people are on the watts Webb site? Let's say 1000. Then. 1000x100=100,000. Let's say10,000 then 10,000x100=1,000,000. Seems like we run out of enough members pretty quickly. Additionally Volvo would have to put it up for sale. What would the new mack use for components. Engine _Cummins Transmissions-mack-Eaton-Allison ,suspensions-camel back-hendrickson, rears-mediator-Eaton. Not much different than the. Competition. At least they would have their own independent engineering section.
