Popular Post ranchhopper Posted November 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2015 Saw the blue storkmack truck the other day think it was on 20 I have been having a busy week not much driving I loaded petermacks uncle with four loads of black dirt the other day while working in the pit. I sat on the backhoe all day today making small pieces of concrete from big ones ran the loader again yesterday for a bit then hauled 12 loads of sand from clearlake to the belvidere yard and saw another storkmack truck turn in front of me off Irene road then saw petermacks uncle running down 20 in belvidere. Heres a couple pics from yesterday some from clearlake some from the pit and one of a red mack being loaded from a combine I believe its one of Brian Piskes trucks the old dog with the water tank sits in our belvidere yard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackdaddy2030 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 last week I was on East Sandwich Rd south of Hinkley and saw two R models with hoppers in the field with a Gleaner combine. Was pretty cool cause you don't see that too often. Was on the phone and couldn't take a picture. Went by on my next round to take a picture and they were already gone. Dose anyone know who's they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackdaddy2030 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Not that one Superdog, this one....Are you going to paint this one orange and white? I see the Granites all the time up and down 47. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackdaddy2030 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 So I had off today and Snake and I were running some errands and I got some good pics.I believe the green RDs are former Plote trucks and the white with orange stripes might be old Lowe trucks. One of my friends thinks the brownish R might be an old Waste Management truck. These pics were taken on Virginia in in the owner of Sunsets yard next to Waste Management. I'm guessing they are for sale. They just showed up,this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storkmack Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Are you going to paint this one orange and white? I see the Granites all the time up and down 47.That's the plan over winter. See, my kid bother will turn 18 in February and of coarse he's gonna get his license. So he's been looking at trucks and now he thinks that the Blue RD fits the bill. We have been doing a lot of our own painting and he will be helping with it which makes him appreciate it a lot more. Hood is busted up on it pretty bad. We have hubs for the rears and the rest of the truck has been gone through. Makes sense to me, unless he finds a decent Superliner for next to nothing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
