  1. Hi Greg,

    I myself am a truck nut and truck model nut[nut meaning stickler for detail]. I don't know

    if your aware but AMT/ertl made a 1/25 scale Mack DM895SX model kit in the 70's and then they

    re-released it a few years ago. It is a really nice model kit for good detail. I Recently

    finished one myself and it turned out really nice. I got it off ebea. Some one had built it a long

    time ago and many pieces were missing includeing the 865 V8 so I had to boro parts frome a newer

    one that my brother needed the chassis from. It ended up with a 675 6 cyclinder for an engine

    but it still turned out really nice. I also added lots of wireing and hose details. If you want

    I can post some pictures of it.

    Thanks, Josh :mack1::SMOKIE-LFT:

  2. The trunion is just a newer version of what I already have. The B53 that I have was really heavy

    in the fornt end and light in the back. I've triple checked to make sure the it will work, but

    I just need to get the walking beams removed and I'm just not sure how they come off. I really

    don't want to put in the whole B53 suspension because it is completely worn out except for the

    trunion.

    Thanks, Josh :mack1::SMOKIE-LFT:

  3. I need some advice on removeing the walking beams from the trunion out of a B53 cement mixer

    suspension. Any ideas? On my B421 that has a regular SWD56 suspension once the trunion was

    unbolted from the springs, the caps came right off. This walking beam suspension is altogether

    different. I need to get the beams off because this trunion needs to go in my B421[the one out

    of it has several large cracks]. If you need any pictures to see what I'm dealing with let me

    know and I'll get them.

    Thanks, Josh :mack1::SMOKIE-LFT:

  4. You guys want Spuerliners I can get you a few :D .

    E9500[this one is the next to the last Superliner ever made], 1989 RW613 with an E6350, 1988

    RW713 with an E6350, 1988 RW713 with an E6350, and finally a 1985 RW713 with an E9500

    A local cement company has 3 Superliners all with E6350s

    Like I said just a few :lol: . Thanks, Josh :mack1::SMOKIE-LFT:

  5. The dad of a friend of my Dad's bought the CL in Texas and brought it up here to Pennsylvania because he has another CL V8 log turck that rolled

    over last year and he took the cab and hood off of it for the log truck. From there he sold the

    chassis to another friend of ours who lives in Wexford Pa and I know he isn't going to sell it

    because he now in total 9 E9 V8 Macks. A little long winded but should answer your question.

    Thanks, Josh :mack1::SMOKIE-LFT:

  6. If you don't mind my asking what's the Model# and Vin# on this truck. I was doing a little historical

    research a while ago on here about the 1000 V8's and the trucks they were in. I correct myself from earlier,

    the very last 1000's had the air to air set up right before they went to the E9 designation. If you

    could take some pictures of it :thumb: it would be really neat to see. As for the price factor a Friend of mine just bought

    a 95 CL chassis with a V8 that didn't have a cab or hood for $9000 and it had 400000 miles on it.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks, Josh :mack1::SMOKIE-LFT:

  7. I took a video of my Brother making a few rounds with it that I'm going to post up on youtube in

    a few days. The video is almost 4 minutes long :chili: ! I'll try and post up a link when I do.

    I don't know how, but My Dads Superliner V8 doesn't sound as nice as this one and it has 6in.

    straight pipes that are the same hieght as this one. Don't get me wrong my Dad's sounds

    really good but this one sounds even better. I guess live is good :lol::D .

    Thanks, Josh :D:mack1::SMOKIE-LFT:

  8. This past Saturday my Dad, my Brother and I went to fix 2 E9 V8s that our friend Ted Crea has.

    The first was in an Ultraliner which just needed to started after sitting for a while. The second

    was Ted's Magnum superliner that he bought off our cousin a couple of years ago. We had to put

    on a different injection pump because the old one had issues. After the pump was done my Brother

    and I got to test the old Magnum out :chili::thumb::D and boy did we have fun.

    I love the sound of a V8 Mack in the evening :lol: . I really wish I owned this

    truck. Here's a few pictures of it. Enjoy :thumb::chili::D !!

    Thanks, Josh :mack1::SMOKIE-LFT:

  9. Superdog

    My Great Uncle Paul got it some where [not really sure where, he knew a lot of guys at a lot of dealers] and he gave a copy to my Dad.

    It has all the superliner models on it and how many of were made of that type each year. I don't

    suppose a lot of people have such a list. The only problem with it is it doesn't show what engines go

    to each type. Some I know for sure some not so much. Did you happen to notice if the hood open seen in

    the movie showed a V8 or a 6cyl? Cool pics.

    Does any one know if my assumption is right about them having 865 and 866 V8's?

    Thanks,Josh :mack1::SMOKIE-LFT:

  10. I have a sheet that shows how many of each type of Superliner[RWS786,RW612,ect.] were built.

    I'm curious about is the following RWL795L, RWS795L, RWS797L. I would assume that they had 865

    and 866 V8's. I myself have never seen one. Have any of you? I would really like to find out

    more about them. If any of you have any pictures of one of these please post them if you can.

    According the sheet I have 66 RWL795LST's were built between 1978 and 1981, 2 RWS795LS's

    were made in 1979, 11 RWS795LST's were built between 1978 and 1979, 2 RWS797LS's were built

    between 1978 and 1979, and finally 82 RWS797LST's were built between 1978 and 1979.

    I would really appreciate any additional information or pictures.

    Thanks for any help, Josh :mack1::SMOKIE-LFT:
