  1. This one is a 1990. Was there some change (other than the VMAC) that occurred in the mid-90's?
  2. Is a single frame CL a heavier truck than a CH?
  3. 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.
  4. What's it like down in ol' Venezuela? Hasn't been much in the news lately.
  5. That's what I do, I search google, then tack on bigmacktrucks.
  6. 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.
  7. Was your Liberty truck at the Mack show in NL last weekend?
  8. What did I miss?
  9. 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?
  10. 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?
  11. 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
  12. There's a guy on facebook who does the V8 Scania beautifully . . .
  13. A V8 Detroit in an RS... couldn't have been many like that built. https://www.bigiron.com/Lots/1974MackRS600LTAwaterTruck
  14. 865 is a Tennessee number...?
  15. Looks like it could power a small town... or my wife's hair dryer.

  17. Never realized how much those Scot trucks resemble the Scania trucks from their Nordic neighbors.
  18. I've looked at a few CL's in my search for a V8, and all the dashes seemed to be falling apart.. loose fasteners etc... was there a durability issue or just abuse?
  19. I'm looking for the same item... Barry from Watts says no longer available..
  20. I have never been able to use the search function on this site with much success.... I get this message "Flood control... Please wait so many seconds"... and the results, if I ever get any, are not usually related. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
  21. How long ago was that? In Brazil at least, they are running DPF's on all new trucks.... Lots of Volvo there, but no Macks... Macks are found in Chile and elsewhere.
  22. Here I am like a damn fool reading this... FIVE YEARS LATER?
  23. I saw this on South Dakota craigslist a while back for $1,000
