  1. I put a Hedrickson air ride with Eaton rears from a 2000 CH under my Superliner a few years ago. I stripped the Superliner frame down and slid the CH suspension and rears under it. Your R model frame is narrower than a Ch so you'll need to make up some flat plates and drill them to the bolt pattern of the CH crossmembers and suspension hangers and shim the game out accordingly. I'd check the ratio difference and see how close she they are before I would swap the rears. If the Ch ones are close I'd use them. But I'm not sure if the r model pigs will bolt up to the newer housings ??? Maybe.

  2. That is a very nice collectable. Would love to have it, if it wasn't so far for me and I had some disposable cash laying around. I almost bought a 74 866 powered daycab F from the owner of.

    D & H Mack in Dearbourn Michigan about a dozen years ago which was rare that the owner was willing to sell it in itself let alone being a V8 daycab. It wasn't in as good of shape as the one for ale in WA now, but still wish I would have bought a few of the goodies from D&H when I could have being they're all part of history now.

  3. Joe Ditchkus , that guy didn't happen to tell you any history about that B61. I never talked to the guy but a bunch of guys from my hometown were there with me and we were admiring it. We were wondering if it was a former Spinks Sand & Gravel truck from Leamington. Because that was their paint colours. Pea green with black fenders. But none of us could say or remember if they ever had any B61 Macks. So we would like to hunt the guy down sometime just to ask.

  4. Took my Superliner to the show up in Clifford, Ontario . She ran great rides and drives better than a new one. Got lots of attention everywhere we went turned heads in every town we passed through and lots of compliments on it at the show. They figure they had around 300 trucks there yesterday better part of them were 20 years or older, excellent turnout. I had a great time yesterday. I'll post pics after.
