I knew I had seen that truck before - http://www.steelsold...920-hybrid.html

Looks like a Bentz conversion crew cab. My Schalbe conversion crew cab runs just fine with an 8.3L ISC Cummins in it. Let us/me know if he's gonna scrap it, I've had a blast with mine! Since this is the Roasted Peterbilt Owners post, figured I would chime in with my dirty little secret! Here's my 2000 Peterbilt model 330, 8.3L Cummins, Allison MD3060P automatic transmission, and a Western Hauler bed for towing Momma's little home away from home! Bob's misfortune could be a nice twin for mine with a little work (and a Cummins to replace the "scaterpillar"!). Let us know if he's getting r

If I remember correctly, that truck was for sale by a museum in California for the price of $10k. Motor was running but stuck at the time of the ad (probably wouldn't take much to get free). I was contemplating the possibilities of a crew cab mack truck, but never shelled out the $$$$$$. I agree, nice looking Mack! Scott

I have seen cancelled orders or model changes where the original serial number was crossed out on Mack's records and a notation was made of the cancellation or change of model for the order. Scott

Here is one on eBay right now (actually, 5 of them!). http://cgi.ebay.com/...ercialQ5fTrucks

Register c, Would you say you have a majority voice in the policy and direction that Volvo takes in it's business model? Do you have a say in the marketing plan for future investment and profitability of the company? Are you a key stakeholder that provides direction to the CEO? Or are you a cog in the machine that believes in what you do (rightly, and with fervor), who is caught in a catch 22 with no other options? If you can say yes to any of these questions, then I understand where you are coming from. If you say no to all of the above, then I say quit fooling yourself as you are not foo

Pat McPhail (sp?), (aka MackLTH) is pretty knowledgeable on these trucks. He has had a couple of related columns published in the Wheels of Time. I have a couple B models with L model cabs, but I haven't been able to glean too much information from the internet on this series. Good luck in your quest! Scott

Now other dog, you be careful throwing them chains. Here's some photos circulating 'round the internet email... It's a crying shame. Scott Steel cord in them tires didn't stand a chance... and the smoking gun...

Greg, I think James sums it up for all of us. Nothin fancy, from the heart, with meaning. My thoughts & prayers. Scott

I am kinda partial to that old truck as well. It's located in Eastern Washington state. I have the owners name and number; he moved to Montana. Not sure if it is still there or if it's for sale, but if you are interested, PM me. Scott

Mike & Larry, I saw it as a resource for people instead of the $10 a page sales on eBay. The power of the internet has saved me a bunch of money over the years and I'm always looking for avenues to same me (and those who have a similar interest) a little coin. Doesn't appear that too many large trucks are there, but it may be of interest to people... I know Barry posted the mix a paint shop ginned up for the color under an overspeed dash plate and have rounded up a few other codes on the forums. Thanks for the ideas & offers, Scott

I was looking at paint and primers for my truck (it's getting pretty confusing with all the options out there). I came across a historical paint chip library at DuPont. The link is DuPont Historical Color Chip Library I haven't found the color chips for Mack trucks yet, but did find the colors for a Coca-Cola truck! Let me know if you find the right pages for our old Mack trucks, and better yet, post them! Scott
