Cabovers

I used to ride K100 in 90s

 

what kind of model is this, friend from my forum post it but he dont have any information about model and engine and other specs about truck

 

That's and F Model Mack--daycab cabover--couldn't say what specs are--mack would spec a truck however YOU wanted back in those days
But i suspect it has a maxidyne motor and a 5 speed--but that is just a guess

 

could they make cab even more shorter?

 

I remember this Mack.... 11R20 tires... tube. We used tires made of old soviet trucks. But there were trucktors, not dump trucks here.

R600 keep running over here

 

The radiator grill sits lower then on the K100.
Never seen this model before.

 

I came across this on http://roundtable.truck.net:

This is a one-off flat-floor K136 COE concept truck that we built, I think it must have been back in the early/mid '90's. The engine was moved back under the bunk, so there was no doghouse between the driver and passenger seats - just a 4" bump in the floor for airflow from the lowered radiator (which you can .. Since the market for COE's was continuing it's downward spiral, it was never pursued for production.

 

It was a prototype that never went in to production

 

yup and wish I could find pics rite now--the white freightliner cabovers CF ran back in the day were--And Big R had the original White Road Commode (as it was known)even narrower still!
Lol

 

now i know why americans hate cabovers so much, when i see those trucks , axle position how short are front springs and seating position on axle .......add to that huge engine tunnel, more noise , and heat from engine , bad entrance ......


but things are changed over years , or actually back than were much better here
