A 3-axle transfer dump pulls into my redi-mix plant in LA one day, I had never seen that patricular one before since all of our haulers were independent haulers. Nice lookin' Bulldog it was
I mentioned it to one of my other haulers "Oh yeah. That Mack is the fastest truck in the LA Basin. 707" of gas burning fun. It'll pass anything but a gas station." A few years later my Dad bought a Bulldog mixer truck which I got to drive on occasion

If it was still under warranty I'd be a player.

On Adam-12 today. I'll watch it sometimes just for the old cars that were new then, like the Belvedere.
That Mack wasn't new when the episode was filmed circa 1969.

Most of the V8 diesels Mack built went to Australia for their road train trucks, wouldn't pass emissions in the states. They have a few warehoused in Hagerstown Md. I deliver to Mack/ Volvo Powertrain almost everyday for the last 30 years. Oh, and I drive a Mack Pinnacle day cab.
@Princess Valiant what do you think of these? international Loadstar. I've always had a soft spot for um.

There are literally hundreds of them in rural Manitoba, not to many tandems but single axle farm grain trucks.

Those IH trucks were every here when I was a kid, I remember a ton of buses with that nose.
Side note, I used to make the air ducts for under the dash in the early 2000's for IH trucks.

I like all of them but by far the mack is my favorite
When I grew up there were R-Model Mack's running around everywhere here. The majority of them were day cabs hauling coal, but they were also around in other vocations.
I used to hangout at Taylor Brothers Trucking where they had about 25 of them. They let me drive them in and out of the shop before I had a drivers license.

Drove an R model hauling peat moss she was a 300 plus 2 sticker, rubber block suspension rode like a hay wagon. If you lugged her down and stalled it she might start running backwards. You had to close fuel supply before you filled the air filter full of soot. LMAO
There is a guy running around here with a flat bed one, slammed to the ground, it looks pretty cool.
He drives it everywhere.
I grew up near the plant where Brockway trucks were manufactured. Fifty years ago, they were all over upstate New York. Most local municipalities used them. There's a farm near where I live now that has at least thirty. Most are worked regularly, but some are restored for show. I had a great picture of all of them arranged in a "V" on a big lawn. But I lost the picture when I turned in a work phone. 
I like the Macks, but the Brockways are my favorites.
Here's one of the farm fleet at an old customer's shop.

I went to a show a few years back, and I joked that maybe I'd see a Brockway, it was the only name I didn't see. Well over 300 trucks, but that was the only absent nameplate. A hell of a show, but I walked away missing a few percent.I grew up near the plant where Brockway trucks were manufactured. Fifty years ago, they were all over upstate New York.

Today Mack isn’t a Mack at all. Since Volvo bought Mack in 2000 they basically cloned the Volvo with Mack badges, engines and all.
