mike69mackman Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 jay, nice truck but that toter body makes it a tough sell for me. But i wonder if it could be removed and a 5th wheel put in its place? Or would the frame be too short for that? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 looks like it use to be a tractor with the airlines still plumbed. But anything can be taken off to be made into a tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Doesn't look like it's been shortened up any, might even be a fifth wheel under that box yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcity Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Prolly get 1/4 your money back in scrap steel from the toter.Cummins? ahhhh......don't know about that Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysm35a2 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Id say it could be put back into a tractor pretty easy, I dont see many Cruse Liners around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spur Dog Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Not trying to steal this post but I am new to this site and I recently acquired a 1980 Mack Cruiseliner Single Axle much like the truck listed on ebay. Looks like someone has either lost the key or broke it off in the door and has torn the latch along with part of the door shell off. I was wondering if anyone has a good lead on a door for one of these trucks?Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysm35a2 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 http://www.candhtruck.com/chtruckdb/salvage.aspx?sNode=E_6&iCID=6Try them , I think they have one. If you need Mack keys , some are on ebay/ the blanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Doubt the fifth wheel is still installed. I worked at a place and we fabricated those beds. Conversion of tractors to toters was a very common practice but the fifth wheels were removed. Would be easy to go back to a tractor however as all the tractor functions remained.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

vision386 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Id say it could be put back into a tractor pretty easy, I dont see many Cruse Liners around.Not to be negative,but sometimes theres a reason for that! i mean a single axle on springs? and a cruiseliner? not the best combination in my opinion ( unless you have a good looking, busty chiropractor on retainer) prolly have to look into a simpson 5-point racing harness,and a HANS device just to stay in the seat! i drove a twin-screw cruiseliner(camelback) for a short period,and let me tell you,that was THE roughest ridin;S.O.B i ever closed the door on!...............................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Superdog Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 We had 4 different Cruiseliner's ,3 on Camelback and one on 3 leaf,and I don't remember them being all that bad,I know some guys that put air ride cab kits on theirs and said it was like night and day.My '67 F model was pretty bad,144 " wheelbase on Camelback,but worst riding COE I ever drove was my father in law's '74 White Freightliner.

Red Rover Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 This Cruiseliner is a bargain compared to the one laying on its side off the coast of Italy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
220cummins Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 my single axle cruiseliner rides real nice on the neway. I purchased a full screw 38k on neway from a very good member of this site but have yet to make the switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivetroad Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 This Cruiseliner is a bargain compared to the one laying on its side off the coast of Italy.HA!

It will probably be transferred to another cruise line and renamed.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
