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

Looking For Info On L T Macks
sdthoren replied to jake's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
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

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

1 of 113 B-77's made? I am planning to restore this truck first, as it has history in Washington State via Goodfellow Bros construction, is somewhat rare, and has an L model cab. It used to have a Cummins NHRS-6 supercharged engine (long gone, as are the 5&4 and radiator). I did find a Cummins big cam NTC-290 that I plan to put in, along with a Mack quadraplex. The restoration process has been slow, but I'm learning a lot from the forum members and having fun - money permitting! -
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
