Just was thinking how easy it would be to cold start a right hand drive Mack with the air cleaner right there. Probably not much use for Ether or starting fluid in Australia but here in the states it sure helps get tired engines going when it's cold. -
I found it on YouTube so I'll have to check it out!

Off topic but does anyone know if Mack put a twin stick in any of their cabovers? I saw a 60s White cabover with twin sticks once and it looked like a nightmare to drive.

Larry Yoder's Superliner

Here: I hope no one minds I put this up on YouTube but its the only way everyone can see it. -
Welcome! I'm not so familiar with the Cruiseliner cabovers but I've read that some of the early ones had problems with interior bits and "exploding dashes" but the rest of the truck was build very well. Heres more about the engines and transmissions offered:

Kiwi Mack RB688RST Rebuild
BOBWhite replied to Mackman686's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
What a cool truck! It's cool to recognize all the parts but arranged in different places. Does this truck have the E6, E7 or maybe even the E9? I've heard in some countries they continued E6 production well after they stopped making them here. Did they offer the E9 in New Zealand? Sorry to bombard you with questions but I have never even heard of these before! -
I've got a pic but its kinda hard to read due to the sun: Heres a better one on another truck: I looked at some decoding forums but I can't figure anything out ^ The cabs are all that's left from most of these, so the glass and maybe the trim would probably be the only things still salvageable in my mind. Edit: The newest registration stickers I could find was 1994 or 1996 so parting these trucks out probably made more sense at that time
-
Most if not all of them had been gutted. Sad to see the custom stickers and paint jobs some of these trucks had, the owners were really proud of their trucks then. Found this sticker in the door on one of the Mh's: Anyone remember what this could have been or what this recall involved?
-
Not to go too far off topic but I found a cabover graveyard that's too cool not to share: This poor Pete would have been one cool V12 truck in its day! If only they could tell stories. Can't seem to track down the owner but I think the land was sold recently so they could all go to scrap.

Looks like they're getting around to liquidating all the equipment here in a couple of months: https://www.rbauction.com/?keywords=equipment-from-yellow-corp Most of it will probably leave the country but I hope some people here can get some good deals. I'd love to get a cheep forklift but all the terminals are too far away.

I have a 13 Mini and before that I had a 5 that I used for 8 years. I might downgrade to a flip once this 13 is wore out because it doesn't look like they'll be making anymore small phones. I'm the young skinny guy and I have to do all the crawling around under stuff so a small phone is a must.

Sorry to revive old threads but this is kinda cool! I was reading through some old Mack news articles on an archive and found what was previously stated: So a couple of these Mack/Renault amalgamations did make it over to North America but where did they go? I wouldn't blame them if they dumped them in the ocean somewhere, but there is a cool factor in finding the only example on the whole continent.

A Mack with a different dog
BOBWhite replied to mrsmackpaul's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
What book/magazine is that from? Looks like a good read! My dogs too fat to be a truck ornament lol -
Abandoned 2004 6 axle ch713 Allison trans.
BOBWhite replied to BobbyCTX's question in Mack Truck Q & A
What specific motor were you thinking of putting into it? If there's nothing wrong with the body I would say it would be worth swapping in a different motor, but you have to keep in mind that the transmission could be the reason it was originally parked and there isn't a real good way of testing those till you get everything back together. I see now why multi head motors aren't made here anymore, having one big head makes them harder to steal -
I didn't even look at the date. Looks like he hasn't been on in a month
-
^2x what he said. Unless you're keeping it off road and you plan on keeping it forever its probably not worth it. Plus you would need a way to program it which from what I hear about Volvo isn't easy.
-
What a cool truck! Most people chucked the flatheads but I'm glad this one was able to be preserved. Magnadyne is such a cool name for an engine

Here are the pics he Emailed me:

I'm not sure about Android but with Apple you have to screen shot the picture to get it into the right format. I can DM you my Email and can post them if you'd like.

UAW 'extremely disappointed' with Volvo's Mexico plant decision
BOBWhite replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
Does Volvo even offer their 16 liter engine here in the US anymore? -
Oops sorry this one slipped through the cracks. I'd love to see some pictures of the truck and engine! There isn't all that much info out there about Mack gassers. Is it a flathead of overhead valve?
-
Heres your chance to own a rare one: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/986690686122475 Marmon made some cool looking cabovers but there isn't much Info out there about em. I wonder if they had an air ride cab like the Mack, that would add whole new level of cool! Riding on the doghouse in our Mh was the coolest thing as a kid! You could feel everything the engine was doing and wow that E6 would feel like an earthquake when hauling 90,000!

I thought it was the same paint scheme as this other marketplace post I found but no. Looks about the same wheelbase though and the ad says it was a house mover at one time. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/429952142891241

He would have to use a Dt466 or 7.3/6.9 V8 if he wanted to diesel swap it. Those are the "rules" lol We don't get an option to buy ethanol free gas at our only station where I live and I don't even know what the ethanol percentage is. I have to rebuild every carb I own about every year though so there is definitely some in there.
