ThaddeusW Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Volvo do we really need European Volvo fuel tanks Or are you going for the Retro Mack look .jpg]http://www.truckpape...px?OHID=2309368With all the emission crap taking up valuable frame space; square fuel tanks hold more fuel than round tanks of the same length. And if you look toward the front of the tank you see the blue cap on the DEF tank for the SCR system. The square tank lets the DEF and diesel tanks blend together better and gives greater capacity. That's why every European truck has square tanks. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why every European truck has square tanks.I knew you would be on top (with european knowledge )on the tankBut I hate change Seen the wheel bases getting longer and longer to try and except a right side tank If,,,,,,,,,,,, The new Macks are getting such good fuel mileage then a 100 gal tank will give you a 550 mile day (this is a dump spec truck)If they need a bigger tank then their tonnage rate is low, but that's what Ive seen with people today running dumps 100,000 miles a year,,,go back 25 years,,,, dumps would put 15,000 miles a year on and made as much as they do today..I hate change,,,,,,,,,,, but will remember what it was Quote Thanks for hearing me out.You can have the soap box now---------JIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think something like that with a couple of cubbyholes could be very useful as there is so little room in a B series cab.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Freightrain Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 My CB hangs in that open space, so no room for a console there. Been contemplating building a console between the two seats though. Enough room for a/c unit, cup holders and the like. Just level between the seats, so that I could lay down across it if need be. I've slept across the seats a couple times, but back when it still had bench seat in it.Those "covered" switches are for "safety", as you can't accidentally move them until you flip the cover up.That's a good looking B model, and time will tell what it goes for at the ATHS auction next month!

mackcl96 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Will agree on the time, paint(they can lay clear), chrome, craftsmanship and the center console,,,but the parts from NAPA and R-model fuel gauge bothered me Quote Thanks for hearing me out.You can have the soap box now---------JIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 $8,000That really doesn't sound out of line for a truck that could be operated right away.
