Trip to Mack Factory to see my 30 new Granites being built


Recommended Posts

Excellent Pat!

The kennel continues to grow. What did you do for specs?

To echo Jim- specs? Are they all in your yard yet? Hope to make it to Dennis Y's next week so maybe we will swing by for a first hand look-

Bob

Jim, Bob the Specs are MP-8 motor 445 hp, M Drive automatic transmission, Hendrickson suspension, and 44 Mack rears. The trucks are currently getting automatic tarps on them Bob and I think only 12 of them have come up from body company to dealership so far. They put 4 bodies on a week, they are are all due in by April . So far Ballard Mack has been good to work with. If you are up next week Bob stop by working on few more restoration projects too lol

What company are the 30 new Granites. Nice factory photos. Wait I know American Industries.(Guessing) Those KW's were starting to sag in the back. Are you going to keep an RD-CL and R

Yes James American industries, KW's are leaving, a few of the mack as well but some RD"s and R's staying, as well as the first triaxle 88 DM , will restore that one and a few others
