  1. I've tried and tried to get more photos of this old rig.. owner says he will, but never does.
  2. Remember this trailer?
  3. I like them.. and I'm even partial to the TD volvo engine and transmission.. smooth, efficient, and strong.
  4. Loads and Loads of 'em working hard grossing 74 metric tonne in Brazil.
  5. 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.
  6. Even better!... but I have serious doubts about getting a VISA as an American to Iran.
  7. Let me know if you go, I'll come along.
  8. 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..
  9. What does screw #4 do? I'm guessing screws # 3 hold down the baseplate.
  10. 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!
  11. They were sent to me.. I couldn't tell.. I said I'd find out
  12. 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?
  13. I see a tip turbine scoop... so.. its probably a 285 now and could be a 300 with minor adjustments.
  14. Maxidyne sounds an awful lot like a certain banned TeamsterGrrrrl... Am I the only one to notice this?
  15. Was this also true for the Western Superliner's?
  16. This one is a 1990. Was there some change (other than the VMAC) that occurred in the mid-90's?
  17. Is a single frame CL a heavier truck than a CH?
  18. 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.
  19. What's it like down in ol' Venezuela? Hasn't been much in the news lately.
  20. That's what I do, I search google, then tack on bigmacktrucks.
  21. 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.
