    Mike Thats kinda what i thought conversation piece, doesnt reaily look like it would ride that good. does anyone know what time frame the dial-a-ride were built, and when did Mack quit useing them. i am still debating wether or not i really need a V8. in the jan-feb,issue of weels of time there is a picture of one. it is sad the price of scrap is way up so if you want them you have to give one hellava price to save them.

    Today i went and looked at a couple of RS700Ls one is a 72? maybe (steel dash) the other is a 75, both have 325 V8s 5 speeds the older one has an old sleeper, page&page dial-a-ride, Mack 3.86 rears. was that susp. factory or did someone install it. the older one runs the other one doesnt, both are complete except the 75 rad and carriers are gone it has camelback. the cabs are shot but they have alum doors, didnt take my camera, he wants to sell both together talking $3500. is the page airride worth anything how common were they. Thanks Ron

    I think companys try to keep you in debt so you have to run your ass off.

    Matt i did leave the tipturbine on plenty of room under the hood, before the hood scoop i had it piped down behind the bumper. i figgerd it would be cleaner air on top. my brother had his green F model i had my B model at Macungie last year. plan on being there this year was at Southbend last year too.

    Does the fuel line run behind the engine, if it does maybe the fuel line is smashed between the engine and bellhousing when they put it back together just a thought. Ron

    I was looking at a 59 B42 wrecker, single axle, gas engine, dueplex trasmission. the guy wants what he paid for it about 12 years ago ($1800) . what would the weight be on it. is it worth that for junk price, the floor has a hole in it the size of a basketball ,fenders a couple holes. odometer shows 25000 miles he said that was the right miles. is the cab and the fenders the same as a B61. Thanks Ron

    I always thought the Mack Superliner and the LTL 9000 Fords were the best looking trucks on the road.

    Rob is the 42MT the big starter if it is it will be up against the oil pan,i had one on my B for a while. i went with one of those japan ( i think nippin-denso) fit fine. he could go with the little delco starter but it will cost more. Ron
