An authentic 1986 Mack SuperLiner that is deserved to be called a working show truck. A truck that had a rough start in life and went through many changes before it's now sweet pre-retirement.
Bought in March 1996 by the trucking and heavy machinery company called “Les Entreprises Rivard et Freres”, the Mack had a salvage status but was brought back to life. After rebuilding the front end and making sure the truck was working right, the company used it for long hauls from Newfoundland to Calgary.
After a while, the Superliner lost its bunk and changed jobs to become the schooling truck for new drivers coming into the company. In which it held that task for 6 years.
It was back in 2014 and 2015 that the members of the company and their employees took, little by little, the time to do a full in-house restoration to put this beauty of a Mack back in its old time glory look. Other than its exterior refurbishes, the original 350 engine was replaced by a 427 electronic Mack bloc engine with a mechanical fuel pump of a 237. A 12 000 lbs front axle and 38 000 lbs in the rears.
