mack77 Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hi, nice truck, I like the old dogs with the big hoods they are great to drive (not like some of the leaning trucks, u nut) I have a couple sources on Mack parts probably the best bet for air tanks at a decent price would be Phil at Global truck traders, call him at 603-239-7008. I called him for a few parts for mine and he had em all in stock and shipped em the next day great guy to deal with. Good luck with the truck, too bad its got that durn ol yeller motor, you know theyre yeller cause they is scared of the big dogs right? LOL!Hi, yeah i like them too bud..I remember the first time I drove in one its when my dad bought a brand new one in 89..add a 5oo ..18 speed and 46 full lock in the back..lets say its was beautiful to see it pull in front of those 425cat, since that day i knew i wanted one, Ii know its suck for the cat inside..i got another superliner in the yard with a v8 450..but when i stsrted adding to change the motor parts, it was to much $$$ so ill stick with the cat fot no.Thanlk for the information where to call for parts , really appreciate it.Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 dont be too hard on young Vinny. he will run away again haha. have driven a few Dm's myself, pretty hard to get use to gettin out and missin the' F'ing step and steppin about 4 feet down out of the cab! or having to get out and walk around the truck 10 times to adjust the passenger mirror bracket cause its 15 foot from the driver seat and you cant just roll the pass window down and reach across and move it or tryin to find a gear with the bent shifter on a 2 stick 6 speed and always getting the wrong gear cause of the bent stick!. other than that just like an other Mack but they are a rough riding bastard haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
