Popular Post Mackpro Posted September 29, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2015 Be careful what you wish for. Im sure the next generation of trucks/cabs will be made of thinner and less metal and more plastic. Change these days usually means a less quality product. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtymilkman Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Technically the granite was an R model with a CH cab, the CL was a superliner with a CH cab and set back front axle, the CH was the last new model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 So true Dirtymilkman. The CH cab hasn't changed much except for cutting a hole in the firewall for a doghouse for the MP engine and scooting the back wall back a few inches , to make room for some of our larger drivers. I remember getting in our first CH's on the lot back in 89. All were silver with blue strips and had the fiberglass MH doors on them. E-6 4-valve head manual pump engines. Those a were the days. I don't remember doing much warranty work on them babies! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dirtymilkman Posted September 30, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2015 I have a 1990 elite ch. E6, all mack, on air ride. Completely restored 2 years ago, it could sit on a showroom floor. I even had the mack style stripes repainted the same way. I love that truck. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbigrig Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Silver/Grey with blue stripes. I believe they were called "The Phoenix 1000 series" The First 1000 CH's built. I have a line on 1 of 20 Mack CH's built at Oakville assembly in Canada.(Ser#001020) Hoping the guy is willing to give it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Nice truck,milkman. Can you believe a CH could already qualify as an antique? Where has the time gone?

Popular Post bbigrig Posted October 1, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'm a big believer that the 90-97 CH's were and are excellent trucks. I have owned both R series and CH's and find them comparable in operating cost and reliability. (CH's extra interior room and ride are nice additions too) Most Mack guys on here don't give CH's the respect they deserve. The E7 (PLN) engine was the best version in the CH. Wasn't as big a fan of the E-tech. That's a nice truck Dirtymilkman. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen the Superdog on the road lately, but I know they still have it.They also have a restored R model tractor that they use every day that they got from Elliot and Wood Escavating. Not sure if E&W bought it new or not. And they still have some nice DM roll offs running around.Actually I bought my '98 CH and '00 Ravens dump trailer from them. I'm hoping this winter I can go over there and get some pics of the Superdog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
