CharlieMidliner Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 HiI have just bought myself a new (new to me) horsebox truck. It was sold to me as a 1988 Renault Midliner but since looking on the net at some pics it looks alot more like the Mack Midliner to me but i am a complete novice when it comes to the models of trucks ........what do you think??

de37champ Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I would say that is a Renault because of which side the steering wheel is on, They All was Renault, Mack just sold them as a mid size truck with MACK accross the front , i had one it wasn,t to bad, pretty relieable, i just wonder how you are going to tilt the cab up on yours.

ThomasL Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 You could find pretty many badges for this cab. The cab was a result of a cooperation of 4 truck companies and also was used by several small companies which build special-purpose vehicles. The 4 Companies who made build this cab where Magirus Deutz (later Iveco), Saviem (later Renault), Volvo and Daf. The Renault cab was also badged as Mack for the US-market, there was also a conventional version sold by Mack. Renault also had a big conventional with the cab, but this truck was not sold as Mack. The Volvo cab also was available in the US. A realy big conventional was build by Nicolas they used the Renault cab for an oilfield bed truck with 21R25 tires. The Renault cab also was used by a french construction an special-purpose vehicle manufacturer Thomas Constructeurs. Terberg a dutch construction truck manufacturer used the Volvo cab. There a variety of small manufacturers that used the cab is to big to keep the overview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
