Hey Guys, a few more pics to torture you guys with. In the January 1975 Overdrive Magazine, there was an article about the new Mack Cruise-liner. In the article, it stated that Mack had plans for a bigger day cab, as well as a big sleeper version, had there been enough customer interest. So, I had to make the big sleeper, although nonexistent, 110" Cruise-liner. I found online pics of a non E9 V8, painted gold, called the ETB 1005. No after-cooler like the E9. scratch built grille, Aluminum wheels, photo etch exhaust shields, and dual intakes, as well as a little wheel base round out this Bulldog 'What If'...

The body work extending the cab, modifying the headlights, adding the turn signals on the front, the grill, the tanks, the wheels, the intake pipes, the exhaust, where do I begin? Too many excellent upgrades to list. The paint scheme is awesome too! Top notch work!! Very clean.

That's a real nice looking Mack, love the idea of building something that could have been, especially when it could quite easily have been done for real, excellent work and colour scheme, top job!!!

Doesn’t look like a what if! Nice build of a truck MACK would have sold many of once the market increased ! It took awhile for the double bunk trucks to take off!
