One Of Those Backing Days.

With that height wouldn’t ever have to worry about any heel in rear unloaders. I get it out, but sometimes have to disconnect and crank it up sll the way with blocks. With that setup would be mych less work for those customers.

Ahhh... yes, I sure KNOW about the heel..we've had this talk, LoL! No WONDER Ted drove THAT Petercar, haha!! (The one w/the height & rails!)

Is that higher 5th wheel and slider rails something that has to be ordered from factory at time of production so its welded to frame or can you have that installed on any truck frame after the fact?

Wish I knew. Thinking yeah. PJ or Greg will (hopefully!) clarify.

Nice hood, though . . . isn't it ?!?!?

Ever since I was just a little tike, whenever I pictured a truck in my head it was always the long square Pete’s and Macks, always loved the chrome bulldog on the Mack hood.

My Dad worked at a Frito Lay warehouse when I was little. Sometimes he would bring me in and I used to sit on the dock and watch the trucks come and go all day long

Don't forget, that Pedigreed Bulldog must be 'compliant' as well~!!

Growing up my family owned a ready mix concrete company and they had primarily all mid 70's Mack R models. My dad was the head mechanic and when the hood was open the Bulldog was at just the right height where he would bang his head when walking around the front of the truck. He often threatened to take a hammer and knock them all off.

The Pete is a 1993 379. Does not have the extended hood option but still seems pretty long to me. Engine is a CAT 3406 originally 350 HP but it has been tuned up a little so may be a little higher than that. Transmission is an Eaton Fuller 13 speed. Truck has 1.3M miles on it which ins't that bad for a 27 years old.

Thanks SO much for SHARING, Greg M. ~!!!!

I LOVE it~!!! I am SUCH A SAP for older 'hoods, especially Pete's . . . . I'd take that ole'gal ANYDAY~!! Omigosh that sleeper . . . how COOL ~!!!

Do you happen to know the year/make/model, specs, etc ??? Gears? So sweet . . . I'm sitting here jelly... LoL.

Hay PJ .. one of Ted's trucks (not the one we mostly drove) had that 'raised' 5th wheel and rails like that; didn't KNOW it was for pulling lowboys, but it sure DID help getting up under the tanks!!

Awesome!
