So I gather they ride better then camelback but not as heavy duty?

I didn’t take the pics, I know not much to see. I’m told it’s Mack suspension and it’s not camelback or air ride so I’m thinking taperleaf. Was this a common used suspension? What’s your opinion good or bad? I’ve never heard much about them.

This is on a late 80’s R688ST. I know the pic only really shows the shocks but would this be the Mack st34 taper leaf?

All listed are excellent movies. Here are a couple more great ones. They call me trinity, and Trinity is still my name. Both very good spaghetti westerns to watch if anyone hasn't seen them.

Post a pic of the steering wheel once it gets done.

Found a 98 CH613 gold dog that I have some interest in. Talking to the seller who purchased it approx 7 years ago out of Illinois. I asked about the door vin plate and he said it's not the original Mack plate, it's stamped with the vin and Illinois state police. I had him confirm the frame number matches and it does. I suspect this was maybe a theft recovery truck or maybe had the doors stolen. Who knows!? Anyways are the vin plates available anywhere if a person wanted to stamp and put an original back on? I know the older ones used in the R and B models are available but haven't seen the newer style? Also if I take the vin to a Mack dealer will the be able to give me a printout of the specs on the truck? Thanks -Jeremy

I think there were 522 built from my research. B-71 is a fairly rare truck. I purchased a B cab and other parts from the seller, Nice guy. The truck no longer has the original engine or frame. I also remember him saying the front radiator cowl was damaged from towing the truck which is a shame as that's one major cosmetic piece that sets the truck apart from other B models.

Sounds like our state left a lasting impression on ya:) I hope to have the 7 up and running soon. I cleaned the carb on starting engine and ordered up some new gaskets. Should be ready to wake the diesel from its 5 year nap any day now.

I purchased a D7 Caterpillar and had a neighbor haul it for me. Nice looking Superdog.

Here is my 56 that I picked up last year. I have always liked these old power wagon's.

Looks excellent! I cant wait to see the finished truck. Keep up the good work.

The concave cab was available on a tandem frame.

Found this on the ACMOC forum. Looks to be a repowered Mack AB. http://www.acmoc.org/bb/showthread.php?26954-Chevropillar-Caterolet-Cat-Truck&p=180744&posted=1#post180744

Ok looks to be a ENDT865 according to the build sheet. Can anyone tell me about these engines? Are they any good, What sort of problems should I look for?

Is this an 864? Its in a 1974 R700.

Looks like a dandy!

Definitely Looks like a nice complete truck and it even has the desirable aluminum tanks on both sides. Jeremy

Welcome! Lots of great information on this forum.

A couple of nice looking trucks!

I believe Doug Fetterly was working on something for the B's. I spoke to him early this spring about his bumpers and thought I remember him mentioning something about visors too. Might check with him? Jeremy

I ended up purchasing a new one from the dealer. Thanks!

It's an old Bell telephone truck. There is a mast with an auger that hangs off the front used for putting up telephone poles. The auger runs off a front PTO and then there is a hydraulic powered winch in the rear that controls auger depth. IV always wanted a PW so it was neat to find this one less then an hour away.

Picked up a Power Wagon yesterday. I only have a half ton pickup and figured this load might be a bit much so opted to use the old Mack instead. Jeremy
