Mike dad work for Mack he started there in the 50s didn't work there until the late seventies that's when Mac made a real truck in the 80s when Renault came in and took them over that was the end of the good Macks and today all they are is a Volvo
Yes hack is no more than a Volvo it's a shame what has happened to Mack my dad works for Mac many years he retired from there now I see where Volvo it's going to start moving to Mexico that's where Mark will be in about 4 years
An interesting fact, these trucks were fabricated by the Transportation Units in vietnam and not the infantry. They were used for convoy protection and referred to as "hard trucks", not gun trucks, because USARV said that "gun trucks" weren't authorized.
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.
The one thing I do know is they should be powered by steam and the they would be the best vehicles in the whole wide world. A friend of mine deigned and built a steamer when the the whole world wanted a low emission engine. It was the lowest emission engine in the world and still is to my knowledge. I could be excused for believing that because the quasi monopoly vehicle builders of the day could not produce the same figures so govts. around the world kept changing the goal posts to suit them. I wrote to MACK suggesting they explore the situation without reply. Otherwise the steamer would have slayed the whole industry mainly because to start with they can burn high flashpoint fuel cleanly, low maintenance and low production cost. Engine designers in America are like trams going down the same old track.
As one who grew up in Cortland NY, had a chance to tour the plant on a school field trip in 1970 or 71. Was amazed has to how a truck went from two steel rails, too a finished truck. A true hand build truck. No robots made.
Im still the owner of Several KW Trucks. '76 K100 Bicentennial Edition Aerodyne and 2 W900 Bicentennial Edition Aerodynes. A 1985 W900 Liberty Edition Aerodyne . And 2 1985 T600's. Still running Dedicated Turns each week.
I drive a 2015 Mb Sprinter but my pops use to own a bunch of semis back in the day including the Kenworth w900 was it? I still think the Peterbuilts are the Best looking trucks on the road! Theres just something abt a Pete idk? Sexy as hell!!!
I drove a nice conventional Brockway in 1977 for a Cortland NY outfit called Monks transport. I lived in Cortland at the time. It's the only conventional I ever liked . As a kid I rode Brockway buses that were from the thirties.
