mackaholic Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Finally got some pictures of the truck up as it was when I found it. They're in my gallery so take a look. I'm still working on pictures of the rest of the fleet. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullfuel01 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 seem to be at a place where it's impossible to know that a Mack is sleeping... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you could even have seen it from the air unless you were looking. It pays to have friends who keep their eyes and ears open.

The truck has a 212" WB but I'm missing about 4' of frame behind the axles. I found the original owners wife in Idaho and found out it was originally a logging truck so if I can find a 50's vintage long logger setup it will go back to a logger. Besides with the 44,000 lb rears in it the ride is less than smooth. It has been to a show already but on the lowbed behind the superliner. Can't beat that airride suspension.

Lmackattack Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Great looking rig. Im shure it will be a show stopper one day??what is the reason that some log trucks carried the unloaded trailer on the rear of the tractor? was it to save the tires,or help with traction??always wondered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
