Well drug home another one,,,,,,,,,,

It was a long ### day yesterday, but got home before midnight, the old Mack looked good going down the superslab,,,,even if it was on a trailer!!!

 

Truth is guys, I had no plans for it, I went and looked at it because it had Rockwell rears in it and i was hoping it was the ratio i was looking for to put in my 372 Pete, unfortunately after cleaning up the id tags it has the same 4.10 the Pete does, BUT, I was told to make an offer, #### thing was an ex Firetruck tanker, has a whole 169000 on the speedo, the body is perfect, power steering, the sleeper looks like no one ever used it, its a Western Mack complete with the spurs inlaid in the upholstery, just couldnt seem to walk away, lol

 

Hers some more pics,

 

Yeah, I'm at least going to call the Mack museum on Monday see what they can tell me about it, seems there is some disagreement on the grille, couple of people told me that the Superliner grille wasnt used in the Cruiseliner till 82, but it sure looks like it's original and the build date is 2/80, I have googled other 80 Cruiseliners and they show the old grille? On another note I did breakdown the model code, WS= Cruiseliner Hayward Steel frame, 747 is 70,000 chassis,(full length double frame) Cummins Shiny 290, L= Lightweight components (had to laugh at that one), this thing is HEAVY! and S=Straight truck chassis, it's a 205 WB
