81 Mack

The price seems pretty optimistic to me.

That's probably good buying these days for a E9 Superliner

I know it doesn't make sense but they are the flavor of the month

Looks closer to yellow than burgundy.

Picture for illustration purposes only. :whistle:

Perhaps a "little" more rust in that roof gutter than described as well.

Curious, how does it get rated to 130T, brakes, chassis thickness, suspension?

Yes along with gradability

Swishman or Rex would know more

Paul

Everything is taken into account
Overall gearing, tyre foot print, chassis capacity, bit of torque to make it happen etc
1st off the bigger the rating the more U pay for the beast .... ideal for me is
enuff gearing to be able spin the wheels with maximum weight on drive on good traction road eg dry bitumen or concrete
Oversize = 18.5t on tandem drive

I have an 81 Superliner rated at 200T . It’s a 440hp 10 speed with a factory 4 speed spicer air shift and 5.73 back end. Only a handful of this configuration were made with camelback before they went to Berliet or Meritor diffs. It’s friggin slow I need to find 5.02’s

I gather the back end is 44's of the Mack type ?
If so then changing ratios shouldn't be a big head ache

Wow Paul you are an early riser. I am waiting for a fishing mate what is your excuse?
