mowerman Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Don’t really care for it it’s too futuristic looking although they did a good job designing it it’s just not necessarily my cup of tea I guess I basically just don’t care for the grill. I like the rest of it especially the roof lights…. Exhaust? Not sure what’s up with that Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tjc transport Posted February 10 Popular Post Share Posted February 10 looks like they took design ideas from ford, dodge, and gm, mixed them together, and said this is the new truck. looks kinds like something a three year old would design with photochop 3 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

james j neiweem Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Freightliner is set to launch a pick up. No photos yet. A classic style would be nice. Mack should make an R model pickup. I would sign up. Then again maybe not if the price is anything like an MD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How ever I’m not an md hater I am ok with it they need to offer it with hydraulic brakes though air only it limits there ability for sales need to be able to hire cheap labour if there is such a thing these days!

mowerman Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Well, Freightliner makes that midsize that’s pretty much just a little bit bigger than a pick up. I actually like them…. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macktruckman Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Those little freightliners are neat bob. Like a FL-70? I have a little Chevy Kodiak C60 that i made a little dump truck. I pull my backhoe with it alot. Its a cat 3116 and eaton 6 speed and juice brakes. With an 11.5’ bed it turns way sharper than my crew cab 3500 ram and stops better with a load. Has the little 19.5 lopro tires. Its got the 90’s Chevy pickup cab and dash. It’s handy as a pocket on a shirt but it would be neater if it was a little mack!! Lol.

I guess they probably don’t think they’d sell enough of them. Personally, I think around 1970 they might’ve been a little bit more popular who knows. … bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Also, I think a buddy of mine was driving something like that Chevrolet you were talking about C 60 back around 1980. It was a real nice looking ride I was thinking about that after I went to work today those things are really hard I come across late 70s C 60s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 many will confuse a Mack Jr with the Mack ED pickup. the Jr was manufactured in more than one GVW. 1/2 and 1 1/2 ton capacity ; can't remember if a third GVW went higher, an authentic Jr has the logo JR on it , many years back I took a trip to NH and met/ talked with Dick Kemp and we were discussing his Jr parked next to us. the reo pick up =cousin to the Jr is a fine looking unit also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 yup. that is an ED. the JR was earlier build by REO to mack specifications. in 38 mack started making them in house. 1 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
