    I wonder how Dan is doing. It's been a few years since he's posted here or, as far as I know, anywhere.

    They do have a Superliner set up with a lift on the right side for a disabled driver. I think I first saw it at Auburn, IN at the ATHS convention. I don't know if it was at South Bend but I also saw it at Mike Harbison's benefit but I don't have a picture of the right side of it.

    I don't know if it's fair to say "it's still with us" but Boeke & Son's Truck Sales cut this one to use as an eye catcher in front of their truck sales business. Still has engine, trans & driveshaft in it. The interior is rough. It's an eye catcher though. Bob is a LONG time Mack guy. He was a mechanic with the area Mack dealership before he founded a trucking company and eventually grew into an independent truck sales dealer along with his boys. I may or may not have drank a beer or two with him over the years...

    WTG Larry!

    Another difference in the cab is the recess in the left rocker on a U (and I assume the DM) that the R does not have. Sorry, the best pics that I have of each model in my collection.

    Just wondering if it isn't a Mack chassis with a cab swap. Fertilizer is hell on steel. Maybe the cab rotted out and they swapped what they had... I remember Mike Harbison having a few R Models that had been in ag in their later lives and most of each truck was still there but the cabs were destroyed by rust.

    I've mentioned this truck before & have posted pictures of it. Sorry the only way I can post this clip is via FB. Larry is still running his E9 daily. https://www.facebook.com/reel/373944118965291

    IDK if both round/square headlights were available during the entire production run or if it was a model year change. Our 1st 4 or 6 MH's had round and the balance of them were square. 20 of the MH's were ordered units. the 21st was bought off the dealers lot, used i believe, and it was a Freedom Edition. If only I had realized at the time that the company sold it what it actually was...

    It's never a waste of time when talking Mack Trucks.

    The 1st pic is one of the 21 MH's that we had at the companies that I was involved in as a teen & into my mid-twenties. The 2nd is a friends family business. I posted the 2nd just because it seems that no matter how well they're taken care of the front corners just seem to take a beating.

    If you are on Facebook look for Mike Harbison. His Late father (on FB Mike Harbison Sr) had a huge collection of Mack's and parts. Mikey has done a very good job of organizing the collection. I know for fact that there is a Freedom Edition Hood there someplace because I bought it out of a salvage yard for Mike and he took it home with him several years ago when he bought my '70 F Model. Mikey has popped in on this forum only a few times. The youngers don't seem to enjoy this life as much as the FB & other social media lifestyles.

    He was off work all last week. He drove the motorcoach & enclosed trailer down and they were parked in the infield up against the fence. He flew out of FLA Monday morning & came straight into work. Our airport is only 1.5 miles from our facility.

    A coworker was down there with a couple of his buddy's hot rods. He has video of the blown/turbo'd Mustang attempting a burn out but instead it was a blow out! Probably a head gasket nothing but steam & water & the smell & taste of coolant in the air.

    Fantastic Idea Barry! I don't know that I'd be able to build it but I'd buy one for sure.

    Thanks guys! I really lived it up today. I had a dentist appointment then I went to work... The last big one was my 50th. It fell on Saturday so it was a perfect way to have a party. My 61st will fall on a Saturday so maybe that will be a party!

    My 1st bike was a 76 or 77 GS550. 2nd bike was a 79 GS750L. I considered buying a 80 GS750 a few years back but I like the "L" (L stood for Low or Lower) better, King/Queen seat instead of a flat seat...

    My '05 Road King a.k.a. My Mistress. Over the winter I replaced the 88 with a High Comp 95. The "facelift was courtesy of a doe that ran out in front of me 4 years & 6 days ago. She began life Arctic White. I always ride "with my head on a swivel". Watching, watching, watching & anticipating.

    CH & CL left door vents as well as bunk vents should be the same. I thought the R roof vents were in a rubber gasket but it's been MANY years since I was in one.
  20. Terry T
    I'm not certain but I believe that Mack used the same vent for all of their models. Others on here are more knowledgeable about part #'s and should chime in soon.

    The 3406 in my Ford was on an angle.

    Geoff, I have never worked in a union barn but spent may years working very close with union carriers when we had our cartage agency. All my life I have referred to Unions as a necessary evil...

    They still owned power units & leased a lot as well. Ryder might be correct but I was thinking it was Penske or perhaps a mix of leasing companies. The newest trailers were built on "the EXTREME cheap" and few other LTL's will be interested in them. TL carriers might jump on the 48's & 53's. I think a lot of the trailers will go into the storage market and many will just be scrapped.

    My guess is that most of these will go south of the boarder.

    I don't know how well this will turn out but I'll try it.
