Vladislav

Tom, do you need any donation to cover the expences on the car's battery to drive to Gladis to pic up the computer to take the show pics from your camera to post on here? Ohh, sorry. Right at the mement I'm the man who's splitted from making international money transfers.

Cool! She's looking nice on the road!

Very nicely done! Honestly it's difficult to comment an item I well know I wouldn't do better than it already is.

Interesting. Thanks for pointing out the details. I don't remember those red Superdogs. Here's what I found in the gallery. But that's #110, not the #103

Yup! Looks like you had a nice time at the show judging by the pics. Coming home after a pleasant event adds powers to fight rutine affairs.

The barrel smoker seems serving pretty fine. Neat dark blue B-model at the last pic. And many thanks for sharing Tom! A pleasure to see sitting on a sofa on the other side of the globe.

I belive he's one guy who recently claimed he has never heard of Macungie show... Ok, he used to have a firetruck with Waukesha engine.

This was posted on BMT at a certain time. The file name is "post- ...." Could be found using the search tool on the site but I haven't got any luck making a try.

Ok, and say Hello to Zina!

As DCW said above! And thanks for pointing the relationship between these two nicknames! And thanks for the cool truck pictures!!!

I have seen it as a printed poster hanging on a wall at one's Mack enthusiast place. Unfortunately I'm currently not able to go there check in.

That Malo mixer on DMM chassis must be driven from Quebec if I'm not lost in geography. Pretty sure it belongs (belonged?) to a fleet of one of our fellow members. Any info on the Superdogs behind it?

That place near the driveway to Macungie factory makes me wonder. The trucks parked there get newer every few years. Never saw anything like that in different places. If you buy a rig and have it in your yard it keeps being the same style and just getting older!

Me either. To my understanding truck chassis must be the most sturdy element in a rig and making it of multiple sections seems as engeneering... Ok, a compromize). I know in many countries any split connection of frame reals within the wheelbase is illegal. But here we talk about that made by respectable companies and the design seems working well. Strange world!

Mark, I still count myself as a rookie. Even not sure I'd say how many bolts in a frame any particular RW-model has... The pics are from the web. I just use to collect images which have relation to a subject of my interest. The 1st one is a RW chassis which was advertized for sale at some known place in NH. The 2nd was an ad either where that front chassis portion was auctioned (and I have my elbow bitten I couldn't arrange purchase of it). The 3rd one was posted by one of our fellow members alnong with a few more wiews of his project. Aside of those I have a few (hundreds) of pics I have taken personally from under trucks at truck shows and by other ocassions. Just posted the ones which represented the subject the best.

No Paul. That's 1st generation pre '85 thingy. Pretty sure it's a design feature of Hayward factory judging by its use on Superliner and Cruiseliner models which both were Hayward products originally. 2nd generation Superliner used almost different chassis probably originally designed for a MH which came into production in late '84. Than RWII have taken it also about '85 (I'm not ready to tell the exact month it came into the market, some guys may know that better). That frame has solid steel rails front to rear with fashioned portion at the front. Was avalible of 1/4" thickness for MH and RW600 and 3/8" for RW700. Could be doubles with inner rails etc. There was an option either with the same style steel front portion and aluminium straight rails bolted where the rear engine mounts took place. That's the design the guys mentioned in the comments above. Crawling under trucks and investigating chassis style (and possible ways of combining and repair) is my personal addiction. Its roots grow from modelbuilding of earlier years

The one on the pic is off a Granite or CL. Original RW one has ends with taper at the bottom.

This picture was posted by someone on here a long while back. The rear portion is steel not alu in this case but you can clearly see the split.

I belive EVERY 1st gen. Superliner had steel front section bolted to a pair of straight rails. The latter could be either steel or alu. The same for WS Cruiserliner.

Best B-day wishes!

Looks really nice !!

An axle off a tandem bogie can be used as a single drive if attached properly. At least I see no reason it couldn't transfer the torque. It shouldn't have an interaxle diff for sure so preferrably a RR axle. Another reasonable single drive option on my mind is a half of Neway setup. You just take one axle with Neway brackets and equalizers etc and mount it to your chassis. Not a correctly looking design for a B-model. But correctly looking for a classic Mack truck in general. There's one more interesting point in that story. Usually axle housings used with Neway have brackets (ears) welded to the housing at the bottom side. So those are not axles which ride on Camelback. But one set of Neway's I could locate locally had axles of the style used with Camelback. There were adapting brackets (actually thick plates with ears welded onto) which were bolted right to where elephant pads use to be. So Camelback style axles were mounted to Neway equalizers and all seemed as factory parts.

Yup, nearly as said above. I remember them offered for $100-$300. Don't know which ones sold and which didn't.

Green chassis looks nice Waiting to see yellow cab. On my mind some minor green decorations on yellow cab (thin stripes?) would add attraction.

Get a nut at any injection line loose. Crank the engine. You you should see fuel pulsating from under the nut. If it's there the plunger in the pump operates. You may check all 8 of them. If no fuel pressure in the injection line there may be a boquette of issues including prime or air or rack locked in the shut-off position or others.
