cool beans.
that was the only thing i hated about the B-815 i drove back in early 80's. the V8 had plenty of power at 375HP with the quad box, but the damn heat in summer and AC in winter was a little too much. i wore less clothes when i worked n the deep freeze warehouse than i wore driving that damn truck in winter.

hear you tom,i never drove a v8 mack only heard about motor nightmares from a few drivers,
worst truck i ever drove was a 1978 IH cab over eagle, 350 cummins 13 spd, winter there was little to zero heat . it did ride better than a few petes even without it being on bags
this old dog mack the owner has done good work on it , made it long enough to hold a KW sleeper ,
