    What year was Hayward closed? And what was the production # of trucks produced there from its beginnings? Its curious to me that there were Macks being built there, but today you don't see ANY Macks in California.. or very few. I remember talking to a guy from the Bay are who bought a brand new Superliner in '81(?) He owned it for 35 years.. even he said he had the only one around..

    What does screw #4 do? I'm guessing screws # 3 hold down the baseplate.

    When I was a kid in the early 80's, every R-model a local garbage dump/roll off company had would smoke like that, every shift, every stop light, every hill... Vogel disposal... I credit that company and that smoke for my fixations on Mack!

    They were sent to me.. I couldn't tell.. I said I'd find out

    Whether this is a 2 valve or 4 valve engine?

    How about that steering box??! .. Not mounted on the axle like US Superliner 1's. They actually did manage to fit that frame mount box on those early frames. Very interesting. And I mistakenly thought that the "V8" emblem never appeared on the Superliners. I thought those were dropped with the R700's?

    I see a tip turbine scoop... so.. its probably a 285 now and could be a 300 with minor adjustments.

    Maxidyne sounds an awful lot like a certain banned TeamsterGrrrrl... Am I the only one to notice this?

    Was this also true for the Western Superliner's?

    This one is a 1990. Was there some change (other than the VMAC) that occurred in the mid-90's?

    sharp looking truck.

    Is a single frame CL a heavier truck than a CH?

    Looking at very clean low mileage CH613 with mechanical E7, Fuller trans, and Mack rears on Camelback. I've never drove or been around a Ch, just thought I'd ask for any thoughts or opinions on the model; short-comings, misgivings, strong points etc. It has the set back axle and is a day cab. Thanks in advance.

    What's it like down in ol' Venezuela? Hasn't been much in the news lately.

    That's what I do, I search google, then tack on bigmacktrucks.

    Glad to know I'm not the only one to find the search function on this site to be as worthless as tits on a boar hog.

    Was your Liberty truck at the Mack show in NL last weekend?

    What did I miss?
  21. Outbehindthebarn
    I need two.

    My cushions (the foam at least) appeared to be glued to the metal backing... . . I'm not familiar with upholstery work, do you think the foam could be replaced?

    I was having a hard time finding anything new under $1000. The plate under the seat should be able to accommodate most any seat then?

    My Mack still has its original Bostrom seat that I've contemplated replacing in the past, now it's become much more urgent update. Last night a cat got into the cab and matriculated on the drivers seat, thankfully I found it straight away and pulled it out before sunup. Now the question is, what do I replace it with? I know almost nothing about truck seats, or what "style" I need to be looking for. I don't get around other trucks much to compare, and was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction. Is there a common mount used in the industry or is it all custom fit for an 1980 Mack? Thanks

    There's a guy on facebook who does the V8 Scania beautifully . . .
