storkmack Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I just noticed the classic big curl out stack. Every Mack with 4 inch exhaust should have one, but they are hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 What kind of trailer is that? Bottom dump? What are you goig to do with it?The trailer pictured is a '74 Timpte 40 ft. flat floor grain trailer,not a hopper bottom. It's for sale. I got a '86 Doonan 42 ft. hopper bottom in the deal with this R model,but have it sold already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Nice old runner, would make good local truck, or good for someone starting out.Maybe for a select few,but in todays world of "super truckers" and "I gotta one up the neighbor farmers" this fine old workhorse wouldn't get a 2nd glance. Another reason they are being gobbled by the thousands by the 3rd world countries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
