Yea, I agree with Mike and Paul. Finish the U!! Remember Macungie June 2013 is only six (6) months away.

I wonder if that "one millionth Mack" Superdog II is still around? It would be a good one to restore.

Sounds like a personal problem to me!

Hmmmm! Women..can't live with them and probably can live without them! Best to just "rent" one! Remember, when they are bad they are bad but when they are really bad they are great! You are too young anyway...wait another 20 or 30 years.

steel wheels - too old for my interest.

Nice trucks but I still prefer single axle Rs.

Thought you all would enjoy these... I'd like to give her a Christmas present! She could polish my wheels... And speaking of Dodge cabover..

Another Mack - June 1985 1965 Mack C June 1973 December 1986 May 1964 November 1968

Saw this article at Overdrive Retro website. Former owner-operator Doug Fetterly has displayed his old Macks and classic cars together when possible for as long as he’s collected them, for nearly 40 years. In Overdrive’s March 1975 issue, a trio of his beauties were featured. His1972 R Model Mack that he drove for the Burdett Oxygen Co. was that month’s Tractor of the Month Runner-Up. The two classic cars beside the Mack in the photo are Fetterly’s 1930 Model A Ford roadster and a 1939 Ford deluxe business coupe. Fetterly showed cars in the Can-Am Division of the International Showcar Association in 1975, when the roadster won first place in its class. The Thousand Islands, N.Y., resident has also been active in antique truck groups and travels to shows regularly while he and his wife winter in Florida. He still owns the truck and the 1930 Ford, shown below in a current photo taken on display in Florida. Fetterly sold the 1939 Ford, still an all-time popular antique, 15 years ago. He served in Vietnam as a 19-year-old and went into trucking back home in New York when his combat duty ended. He became an owner-operator in 1986. Though retired from full-time work, the trucking aficionado hasn’t completely given up work. When he’s back home in New York, he drives his 1992 RD Mack for the town of Diana, N.Y., where he works in the summer. “It’s the oldest truck the town has,” Fetterly says. “But I like it.”

Buy it, stretch the wheelbase, and install a rollback.

Gawd, I think I will never eat at Hooters again! If I do I will have visions nightmares of this image. Fried pickles will NEVER be the same!

What brand, model, etc.?

She's playing hard to get...like most women until they get a rock on their finger....then it is too late!!! Let's see her pic. Does she know about your affair infatuation with U Macks?

Yea, right. Is that what you tell her?

I agree and mine is going to straight pipe next year.

Finally!!!!!

Congrats! Beautiful bride. She's a keeper! Only thing better would be a pic of her with your Mack.

A local farmer near Williamsburg, PA owns this R and U/DM. I think the U/DM had a cement mixer body. He has another R with a "honey tank" but I could not get a pic. I think these trucks were originally owned my New Enterprise Stone & Lime company. They owned mostly Macks and always red, even today all their trucks are red. I need to stop by NES&Ls "junk" yard and take some pics.

Stopped and took some pics of more local Macks. RJGlass Coal; Duncansville, PA - still run Macks. Saw these two (2) Rs sitting next to some trailers. I remember their fleet of Rs. Frosted green with dark green strips. Sharp looking trucks.

Happy Birthday and enjoy your beer.

You should be able to find it in the dark!

I was thinking Mack offered min-max governors on some applications. Is this correct? Or was the min-max governor only on 2 strokes? FYI, min-max governers only govern at idle and high idle. I remember trying to run part throttle performance on 2 strokes...they were a bitch!

Some company drivers and O/O (and several other professions - farmers for one) do not dress "professionally". Most look like a bum. It seems most do not care how they look or the image they portray. In the business world, women are often the biggest offenders. I have seen street walkers that dress better. I could go on but don't want to PO anymore than I already have. Just sayin'

Nice looking MH.

Must be something about Youngstown...I was "contacted" by a "lady" needing gas money in the Quaker Steak and Lube parking lot! BTW, they were REAL! I know, TMI!
