Freightrain Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Wow..that's long. Wonder if that is original frame length? Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Ya, kinda wondered about all the "deck plate". Just decoration or is it to cover up a bunch of welding? 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

dave41855 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Looks like it'd take just shy of 31 1/2 acres to turn this rig around!!! Well, ok, maybe 28 acres!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brian Blaylock Posted November 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2016 The spoke wheels on the steer axle and budd wheels on the drive axles might help answer the frame length question 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 ^^Yup, my thought too. And why I got spoke hubs for the rear when I stretched mine. Didn't want the mismatch look. I know they used to run budd on the front, spoke on the rear. Not the other way around. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

david wild Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 They put the rear of another truck up to it and welded together, most likely not Mack rears 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Took a close look at this truck at a couple shows this past summer. I would not touch it with a 15' height stick. Best I could tell, a CH rear frame was BUTT WELDED in place. Could not see any fish-plating or doubling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sodly Posted November 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hate to rag on anyone else's ride but I don't get the "large car" look on this truck. Maybe it's just the gaudy deck plate down the sides of the frame but to me that much wheelbase on a COE looks obviously "added-on-after-the-fact" and must be utterly impractical. The whole reason for the COEs, after all, was to reduce wheelbase. It seems oxymoronic to stretch one that far out... unless you're hauling looooong steel beams or something that requires the extreme length. It's kinda odd not to have a visor with that much wheelbase, too. It's sort of a shame, if you ask me. I bet that was a neat truck in apparently great original condition before it was... ahem... improved. You don't see many nice, Western Cruiseliners around anymore. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Pretty easy to shorten it up to a real world wheel base.

There was one sold at the local dealer that actually came in from Hayward that way I always thought tney did that because of stripped out fasteners,Mike? Guess I never took a real good look at it,but figured it might be the reason. Have seen a couple of R's with upside down F model grilles in them. Now that really looks hideous.
