No way am I tired of it I'm a 25 year veteran trucker,and a semi tractor historian who would just love to get my hands on the book of semi truck history,keep up the good work.
I ran a 1986 Mack Superliner RW713 with a 500 E-9 V-8 backed up with a mack 12 speed transmission. She was turned up and was all mack, and man would that thing roll coal. I pulled a detachable lowboy with it hauling heavy equipment. Running like hell, making money and having fun was what it was all about back then ,sadly those days are long gone and won't be back. What a great truck she was, one of my favorites.
I drove 1 Mack it so old from the factory had 18 speed twin stick I think they called it quadplex 5 & 4 to drive it properly you had change both shifters at same time. Solid metal dash with a positive ground system. Put a CB or radio on it. It had be completely insulated from all metal it could not touch no metal parts ever or it smoke your radios. Blame thing you couldn’t stop it passed 1/8 mile anytime over 20 mph. Blame Tk was dangerous . Had kids diapers & food to buy. Tandem hauled 55 to 60 tons a trip. 10 foot wide bed. I was glad to see that job in my rear view mirror leaving it for a better job.
The best show ive been to was in Lewiston Maine..talk about some sweet machines! Dadowned a B-61 and was an owner/operator, linehauler for Interstate Trucking in the late 50's the bestyears to make money as a trucker..
@@debknow8441 I could never get sick of truck history those were the best times of trucks being made and those were the best times of all the history in order to know where you're going and understanding the present time you must know the history
That was great I have worked on Mack Trucks since 1973 even at the Boston Ma factory branch from 1976 till it closed in 1990 just retired after 51 years of truck service and heavy equipment and buses
I am a huge fan of MACK Trucks , I drive a Mack truck I pull a road train tipper , I love them so much , now they know how to make trucks !! Thank you for this , I never get tired of anything to do with knowledge and history of trucks , I much appreciate your time and efforts thank you from Australia 🇦🇺
I drove a Superliner with a 440 V8 and a 10 speed. I really liked that truck and I wish that Mack had kept working on the V8 - I think the Scania V8 started as a joint project with Mack and they sure have made something of it.
Enjoyed the history. I have a picture of my brother and I sitting on the hood a a brand new 1973 R600. Being in forest products logging and mills I have used a lot of Mack’s. Oldest were 67 R’s with the green interior with 237s and an old U model with a 325 V8. Then came R686 with 300 and 9 or 10 speeds,Superliner and Ultra liners. My favorite were the RW Superliners with 350’s and 9 speeds. The cabs were small and the ride was rough but they were pretty trouble free. Even today most loggers around me still use Mack’s for off-road spot trucks. I read once that when the last Mack Granite is hauled to the scrapyard a DM or R model will be hauling it!
Learned to drive in a 82 r model hauling logs with father...miss that truck...those 300 horses would out pull these 500 anyday..the heavier the load the harder it seemed to pull...dad had that Mack since 84 lost him and that Mack same day...I was welcoming my son into the world that day...RIP Plow Boy
Thanks so much for the truck history series. R model w/Maxidyne was my first ever . And Mack Ultraliner w/440 v-8 /13 speed came later. These were the best pulling trucks I happened on as a company driver . The good ole signature sound of those trucks! I miss that sound
@@deborahchesser7375 I have heard that, I dont use her for work, so idk what she can really do. Honestly I bought it to pull a camper... kinda nice to not worry about weight when it comes to a fifth wheel.
Incredible video. But I think it's a crime that the Mack CF fire engine isn't mentioned in this video. Often regarded by virtually everyone as the greatest fire truck of all time. Extremely reliable and durable. FDNY used them during the "War Years" and put their CF's through absolute hell, and they stood up to the demand. Most of those trucks continued to serve other fire departments for many years to come. The Mack CF fire engine has to be one of Mack's greatest builds.
Today, some Mack trucks does equipped with one piece windshield to complete with the other competitors, like Freightliner, International Harvester, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Sterling (formerly Ford), and Volvo trucks for commercial vehicle business. Mack trucks does equipped with one piece windshields for at least several years.
I checked out a miltary truck from ww1 in a museum and was surprised they were chain driven, I drove a Trident 470 for a while, spec'd out to around 530 hp. Loved it. The Ultraliner when it appeared in Australia was referred to as the 'Skyscraper Mack'. B and R models were beautiful trucks out on the highway.
there is a really cool trucking museum in cherryville north carolina It's the Carolina Truck Lines museum. awesome old trucks and other work related items. a must see for truckologists.
In the 60s, the construction outfit that my grandfather used ran Mack B61 15 yard tandem 10 wheelers. I can always hear that exhaust note of them pulling hard in every speed and the smell of the exhaust . The transmissions were Triplexs as I remember and it took a lot of skill and dexterity to make it all come together without grinding. LIke the videos - keep them coming.
I've been a truck driver for close to 30 yrs...I can't count the number of Mack trucks I've driven over the years. It seems that Mack produces a better, more comfortable, & driver inspired truck every few years. I still love the old R-Model Mack...just a good-looking, classic, "TOUGH LOOKING" truck in my opinion. Much love from Mobile Alabama.
You, are correct, Randy. That R model cab, with those SUPER STRONG curved windows: drove one for Westcan Bulk, here in Canada, in late 78. Rocks, and stones, would just bounce off them. Only wish there was a noise dampening material, incorporated within the cab, as the cold up here in Alberta in winter can be deadly. But, the heater was amply sufficient. Camel back suspension, the best, just like indestructible diffs, and transmission. it had a 235 engine, 5 speed stick.
Correct, Randy Miller. Those ' ice road truckers '.....should take a lesson or 3....DIGITAL computerized rolling pieces of plastic, DO NOT BELONG up there. Alex ougtta know. NO fancy, modern crap; just saddleback suspension, with all wires/hoses tied up securely; and good insulation and a clean heater core....is all one needs. oh, and a level head.....( hauled acid to uranium mines, asphalt and crude oil-field work, over most years of my life )
First truck I drove was a Mark R Model with twin stick. My dad worked for a company named Snyder Bros Motor Freight, later absorbed by CF. He has a gold plated bulldog given to him at the Truck driver championships un early 70's
Best riding truck ever was the Ultraliner With those 2 big air bags on the rear corners of the cab with 2 shocks per bag a nice air ride seat and the neway air ride suspension you just floated along like on a cloud
Enjoyed the show thanks, brings back some memory's of the F600 that i first had the pleasure to drive in at the age of 16 ,even as it was only around a large car park .
My first job at an auto shop in the late 80s, we had a nearby customer who had a 26 Mack. Every once in a while he would stop by and we would replace some wiring here and there. Aluminum wire, 6v positive ground system. Good times, glad to have been there. Wanna confuse some kids, ask em how to hook up jumper cables from a positive ground vehicle to a negative ground vehicle 😂😂
You missed the MB model which was the predecessor to the MC/MR models. Mack also ran a Scania engine in some of their metropolitan trucks beginning in the mid 197O's. I was a mechanic for Mack Truck Inc., and I still say "we" when talking about them. Love Mack Trucks!
Literally found your channel because I wanted to learn the history of these brands after playing American Truck Simulator. Thank you so much for your content!
I followed that gold bulldog many a mile and in 1998 I totalled out a pickup that slide in front of me sideways but the bulldog didn't have a scratch on him. It was a brand new Mack with only 8,000 miles. It was in the shop a few days and was as good as new.
Proud that Mack called Allentown, PA home for many decaes. Loved Rubber-Duck's R-600 in Convoy. Even built a model of it, back in the day along with a Kw Alaskan Hauler.
I have very fond memories of Mack Trucks my father was 1 of the 2 photographers from the mid-70s till the mid-90s when they closed the photo studio in the world headquarters I spent many a days at the world headquarters in the photo studio with my father it saddens me to see that the world headquarters no longer exist in the Lehigh Valley but to me Mack Trucks is still the greatest name in trucks my father has since passed on but I will still always have those memories 😓
Don't know if "Renolt" is the US pronunciation, but in Europe and Australia we pronounce it "Renoe" (I was going to put "Reno" there, but that's different again!). Also, Mack built trucks in Australia until the early 2000's. V8 Macks we're hugely important in Australia due to their ability to haul huge loads. Very popular with Road Train and heavy haulage operators.
“Ren-oe” is the correct pronunciation in the US as well…we just don’t see many of them and many Americans never here them talked about. Renault, Peugeot and Citroen haven’t really been sold in scale here in the US for 30 or more years. More likely to find Americans who know the correct pronunciation of Porsche than the French manufacturers.
I love to see pictures of vehicles, especially trucks, big trucks. I wish the posters of these pictures would provide information about them such as year make and model. It makes it more interesting to know those details.
I was a Baltimore City firefighter in the early 1960s. Our first line was a 1941 Mack and the reserve engine sitting in the back of the fire house was a 1926 Mack Bulldog. Had to crank it to start it. Stopping it was another matter :)
Love truck history keep it coming please. In a lot of the other truck histories you mentioned when they were featured in movies. Mack had a big part in Convoy a totally truck focused movie and it was not even mentioned here?
Wish you have said more about the new Anthem... most BEAUTIFUL trucks Mack has ever built, and certainly one of the most BEAUTIFUL trucks on the road today! Never sick of "truck history".
trained on a B model, duplex & horse hair seats. later road tested at busterbrown bobtailed in an early F model thermodyne duplex. really tough ride in that version complete with freezing steering axle, on & on. i passed and never looked back. R model maxydyne was a favorite.
I really enjoyed this. I've owned four Macks and have driven others. Still the best truck on the market imo. Of the more recent models I like the Mack Rawhide. Thanks again for the video
Loved the R Model. Drove a 1974 R in the 80's. Had a 238 mack motor an 5 speed trans. Was lic. at 73k, if i loaded it up with 80k, that old gal would pull the hills like i was empty. fun days of trucking.
O/O still running a 1994 model I bought new. CH with a 60' sleeper. Naturally, I've put some money in her over the years, but any brand you keep that long you will. Just got home Friday night to VA from a week-long run thru the Appalachian mountains, the old dog did well.
Hi. First truck i bought, was a Mack B-75, with that thermodyne engine, and a 3 stick tranny. Hauled grain......next was a COE freightliner with cummins, 13 speed.
At 4:15 the video speaks of a transcontinental trip across America by the US Army. That trip was in 1917 and involved a large convoy of trucks and equipment. With "roads" being what they were it took 61 days. Not bad for the time and interestingly, it was led by Lt. Colonel Dwight D. Eisenhower.
As the service manager of a construction equipment company, I convinced the owner to replace his Chevrolet haul truck with a well used, but well maintained R600 with about 700K miles. This truck served for years, and I personally put many miles on it myself substituting for my driver while he was on vacation and sick leave. Having driven 10 &13 speeds for a few years in previous employment situations as substitute driver, I can tell you this is was the easiest truck to drive.
I’m working as a driver hauling petroleum products gas/diesel etc. they’re taking on owner operators. I would love to get my hands on an R model. Driven them in the past. And that is one tough solid built truck
I’m not sure where you all are getting that people don’t like truck history episodes. They have way more views than most of the other videos on the channel.

I agree, I must be a geek but I could watch videos like this all day
Thats correct !!!!
Same
BINGO!
I have the bulldog off my grandpa's Mack from his logging company bk in the day in Oregon. Ain't worth much I'm sure but it's priceless to me.
you might be surprised what it can be worth, but it's nice you have something to hold on to for the memories. Have a great day.
I have the hood ornament off my dads Pete 379. I’ll keep it forever.
I have a bulldog side emblem off a 69 R model. they stopped putting the 1/2 dog on the door around then.
@@donaldbartram6315 The bulldog for Mack is like the cormanat or pelican was for Packard!.
Ihave one too..dad owned a 58' B-61 he bought brand new in Rochester NY
Huh? I don't ever get tired of these. I love hearing the history of car and truck companies and Macks are some of the coolest trucks to exist.

That is insane trucks are one of the most important things created and such a rich history. Keep videos coming.
Who in their right mind gets sick of truck history??!!!
I would also like to know
To become a successful professional truck driver you must know the history of it
Not me
@@debknow8441 I could never get sick of truck history those were the best times of trucks being made and those were the best times of all the history in order to know where you're going and understanding the present time you must know the history
Man you took the words right out of my mouth
It was a sad day when the R model ended
Very sad day
RS 700 one of the baddest trucks ever built, next to the Superdog
I drove a couple of them back in the day and they were just unstoppable.They tried to replace the "R" with the "RD" but I wasn't too impressed.
I think the time is a little off on this vid...I had an 01 CH E7460.Dont remember the Granite coming out for at least a couple years after.
That was great I have worked on Mack Trucks since 1973 even at the Boston Ma factory branch from 1976 till it closed in 1990 just retired after 51 years of truck service and heavy equipment and buses

How about the history of Ford trucks next?
Definitely on our list!!
Hi I’m never sick of truck history! It doesn’t suck ! It might be able to slow down..., but it can never stop🇺🇸

Aluminum wire, 6v positive ground system.
Good times, glad to have been there.
Wanna confuse some kids, ask em how to hook up jumper cables from a positive ground vehicle to a negative ground vehicle 😂😂
I’m never sick with truck history. I love it!!!! Please educate me
I got me a big black Mack with twin chrome stacks and a shack in the back now you can't beat that.
Are you kidding me?
Never sick of truck history,especially for my favorite truck.
Bulldog 4 life!!!!

No mention of the V8 Mack diesels ...

Been wheelin' a Mack truck for 38 plus years and counting, Good to know the History behind them ,Thanks.
Thank you for showing this truck history series, always interesting.
Wish you have said more about the new Anthem... most BEAUTIFUL trucks Mack has ever built, and certainly one of the most BEAUTIFUL trucks on the road today! Never sick of "truck history".
trained on a B model, duplex & horse hair seats. later road tested at busterbrown bobtailed in an early F model thermodyne duplex. really tough ride in that version complete with freezing steering axle, on & on. i passed and never looked back. R model maxydyne was a favorite.
As a mechanic, gained a ton of respect for Mack trucks, while working at large Cleveland cement company. Circa Mid 90’s.
Same here,next door neighbor has entire fleet of Mack's at Cleveland construction material bulk hauler.
I really enjoyed this. I've owned four Macks and have driven others. Still the best truck on the market imo. Of the more recent models I like the Mack Rawhide. Thanks again for the video
What makes you think people wouldn’t like this?!? This is very good!!
Those R Models and DM Series was all I saw haul coal as a kid in Eastern Kentucky 🇺🇸😎❤️ and those Jakes!!!!!❤️😎
Loved the R Model. Drove a 1974 R in the 80's. Had a 238 mack motor an 5 speed trans. Was lic. at 73k, if i loaded it up with 80k, that old gal would pull the hills like i was empty. fun days of trucking.
O/O still running a 1994 model I bought new. CH with a 60' sleeper. Naturally, I've put some money in her over the years, but any brand you keep that long you will. Just got home Friday night to VA from a week-long run thru the Appalachian mountains, the old dog did well.
Nice!!!! The old dog still runs good if she’s going through the mountains!

As a kid I loved the Rolls grill with the bulldog hood ornament
As the service manager of a construction equipment company, I convinced the owner to replace his Chevrolet haul truck with a well used, but well maintained R600 with about 700K miles. This truck served for years, and I personally put many miles on it myself substituting for my driver while he was on vacation and sick leave. Having driven 10 &13 speeds for a few years in previous employment situations as substitute driver, I can tell you this is was the easiest truck to drive.
I’m working as a driver hauling petroleum products gas/diesel etc. they’re taking on owner operators. I would love to get my hands on an R model. Driven them in the past. And that is one tough solid built truck
I love truck history
Believe it or not , my uncle has a Mack model R 1960 and still works with and carries cargo throughout country ! He loves it too much .
Oh believe me I am not at all getting sick of these videos I love learning about these trucks, you know Peterbilt and Kenworth
I love ❤️ Mack trucks ever since 2003 wished more T310 Mack Maxitorque was offered in Pinnacle n Anthem

Never sick of trucking history either don’t stop
These mini documentaries are great.
are you nutz!!....we never get tired of truck history!!
I’m not sure where you all are getting that people don’t like truck history episodes. They have way more views than most of the other videos on the channel.
My two favorite Mack trucks are the B model and the Cruise and Super Liners,but they are the only ones that I have driven!!!!!!!!!
Can’t get sick of truck history...
One of my favorite things ever!
They need to make some new super liners and bisons, which by the way you didn't mention the bison.
