ThaddeusW Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 That is one hell of a sweet little collection you have there. You sir have made my night, great pictures. Those two right there are the two other Macks I would like to one day collect as well as an F model. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

Popular Post Superdog Posted February 14, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2012 Real tough looking pair.Can you imagine how scared a pair of T660 KW's would be if they ran into those two in a dark alley. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveigou Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 RE rear axle info, looking at the back of the truck, in the area of the check plug on the lower rear housing, there should be numbers stamped in the housing, probably beginning with "SW", post them and I'll look them up for you.Those are much nicer trucks than you looked at at Gerharts, you're much better off.Dave Quote See my Flickr photostream page http://www.flickr.com/photos/96692978@N05/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyGunner Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Man I love that B81! I am kinda getting the idea that I "need" one along with an H model too.
