My Superliner 1 has heated mirrors, but they are pretty ugly, glass too, but the elements are still good and work

Is it possible to swap over the elements(etc) into non-heated mirrors? Found a beautiful set, but they aren't heated..

Don't have access to any to compare in my hands

(I'm talking about the bulldog mirrors)

Thanks

I am wondering if the F12 and F16 would've been likely competitors to the domestic class 8 COE segment that included the White Road Commander, the Freightliner COE, the Kenworth K100/Peterbilt 352/362, GMC Astro 9500 and the Ford Louisville CL(T)9000?

F16's on American roads would have caused quite a stir. Joining in the fun of BIG power in the USA at that time.

I run that turbo on a fully mechanical E7 with Rochester injectors and the rack opened all the way. I walk all over MP8s and isx's 

Driven responsibly, does that set-up return reasonable fuel mileage?

Is this road boss still for sale?

No.. He scrapped it. I was just there last week.. It was pretty rough, would have taken quite a lot to get roadworthy... but the hood was good. No title and wanted $2500. 

Fuel tanks straps or steps?

I tried to buy that Road Boss at least ten years ago. Guy that owned it was a contractor for fedex. Had all kinds of old iron. Farm equipment etc. I don’t think he really wanted to sell it even though it was advertised .. more like someone was onhis neck to let stuff go. Something was the matter with the clutch, truck wouldn’t move

Isn't this the case?

Thanks Vlad.

I'd like to find a few of those original lug nut covers.. anybody have some?

Anybody know if this was an option on Superliners? Or was this a one-off? Anybody have any other images of this paint job?

Thanks

(Asking for friend in Holland, not my truck)

Looking for confirmation on the installation procedure for the thermostat install on E9. Bulletin shows installation tool, and has note on the bottom.. does the sleeve come out with the tool? Or Does it stay with teflon? 

 Friend says it's not closing after opening.

Hoping someone can provide a higher definition image of these SUuperliner designs... anyone? Anyone? Anyone??

The passanger seat shape in the truck at the start of the thread, is that normal in Yanky land ?

 

Paul

Normal might be too strong, but I've seen that passenger seat in several Macks over the years.

3 year bump.. I'm with you, I'd like to see some better pictures as well.

I have only ever seen one.. does anyone have production numbers on E9 Cruiseliners?

Looks more like the M60 I dragged all over with the pistol grip, the cooling wings on the bi pod and the open front sight legs. But that was over 40 years ago

It is the M60. My father's involvement in Vietnam is almost entirely unknown to me, but I do know that he carried the M60. . . and that after being drafted, and subsequently sent to Alaska (Fort Greely?) to dig potatoes and haul trash, he volunteered to go to Vietnam to escape the cold and bleak boredom... the rest is mostly a mystery to me. I do know his older brother became a Marine reservist which I understood was the safe choice for him to make(?) while leaving his younger brother at home to help granddad farm... Dad drew the short straw. He was 19 when he left.

I guess now we know the answer to the question, "Who is John Galt?"🤷‍♂️

A fan of Rand are you??? 

I've tried and tried to get more photos of this old rig.. owner says he will, but never does.

We have a 1970 Mack Truck with a Scania engine that ran great when we put it up and garaged it quite a few years ago, Its an R401P, S/N R401P16471.

We used it as an oil delivery truck.  Never let us down..  I am selling it. Asking $2000.  Ooops cant seem to download pics.

Remember this trailer?

I like them.. and I'm even partial to the TD volvo engine and transmission.. smooth, efficient, and strong.

Loads and Loads of 'em working hard grossing 74 metric tonne in Brazil.

I have seen some older Macks with Detroit 92/71 series engines and Cummins Big and Small Cam engines in them. Once the engines went electronic did Mack use other than Mack engines??  Did a Series 60 Detroit or N-14 Cummins  ever make it into a Mack??

I've never seen an N14 (or an E model Cat) in a Mack, but there were a number built with the Cummins ISX. I've seen a CL Mack with a 60 series in it as well.
