yeah foundation is fine, it mainly took the whole roof , and now the house has about 6 inches of water and insulation in the floor.. Id say it is probably a total loss though.

_{Here is a few mixers we work daily}

They have 300 horse engines and mack tranny's , they are a little rough riding when empty, but the ole fords ride just as rough if not worse, and they were factory dumps.Thanks for the comments . i couldn't get back to this yesterday as we got called to a house fire, and boy was she a burner

I Dont know the correct answer for that question but.... The way this truck is set up if the cab was in the middle you would have about a foot if that of room (wide). Which wouldnt work i dont think the cab is right up on the hood and has the access panel to the engine inside the cab, i think they did this for weight restrictions, but im sure the guys around here know alot more about this than I . Id like to know myself really.

Donor truck , and sure not a mack

Ok it worked Here it is after the dismantel

And now the tandem

Its not 100 percent done and cleaned up but Couldn't wait

Kinda pic happy i know

Ill see if this works, here's what we started with

Wow nice to see guys so close.. We bought a couple mixers from rb auctions right outside of st louis, pretty nice trucks just need some paint .

Brian,

We pretty much are neighbors. I have rode my harley through grayville several times in the past years.. Your not in the concrete business are you?

Its amazing talking to you guys on here , as im stuck in one spot,(here in so ill) <but love it> , we went and picked up some mixers from georgia and a few more from from tenn., I wouldnt be suprised if the guy from tennessee is on here as he had a warehouse full of macks... After he showed us a mixer like id never seen besides on this forum i told my dad i saw one of those on bmt.com, the guy didnt budge but he was busy talking so who knows

Clay city sounds right - I remember we ate at a diner in Salem and then went east through the Flora Metro area.

Right down highway 50, if you remember the john deere dealership... we are right across the road to the south , with more and more macks filling our yard .. There is a new FS station across the road also if your ever traveling through in need of fuel . Drive through the lot if youd like, i may or may not be there depending on time

I heard today they moved here from indiana because they could buy 3 acres down here compared to one in IN... also seen about a month ago, they bid some ground to 6700 an acre... I see no profit in that .

I bought a shotgun from a guy that lived between Flora and Olney, I know right where you are - it is a Browning recoilless single shot 12 gauge trap gun. I had never seen such a strange creature (the recoilless gun) and I really thought I had to have it. I shot a round of wobble trap with it and then stuck it in the safe where it has only left for cleanings.

Not my favorite gun!

Were you in the Clay city / Noble area , we haul rock and concrete around these parts all the time.

My oh my , i spent last saturday hauling to them... they wanted a 5 yd load a 7 yd load and then a 8yd load and that would do them..... You know whats next... another 9yd load and a 3 1/2 yard wrap.... concrete this is.. They are taking over around here .. coming from the south and moving our way...

Shoot trap from time to time and also a Very avid gun collector, actually waiting on a few right now, and watching illinois make us gun owners pay for our hobbies and trying to tax us over 18 percent on ammunition, ill stop there... Anywho im located about 30 mile south of effingham if you know where that is, small town called Flora.

We found one of the bumpers were wanting, Not aluminum, and the one we found is also factory on one of our rd's. Its a hendrickson bumper with the grill guard on it like you can buy from mack, if anyone knows where one is or has one they'd part with let me know. Ill get some pics posted of the first mixer to dump conversion we are almost done with

There gonna race . have to after all this work

Nice looking mack .

click click boom

Just seen a commercial for worlds toughest trucker, looks like a bunch of new macks although they dont look like there in the u.s. as the trucks have the tall breather snorkels on them.

Its supposed to be on discovery channel monday at 10 eastern

Nice lookin b model

thats it ,... im ordering a visor for the dm , so much for cutting weight i gotta break up the red and add some stainless...

Nice truck, that thing oughta last forever

I would like to have a talk with those boys, beings im only 27, id still like to give them some insight on what built this country ... and what should stay here, and keep building the u.s. One thing i do like is there feedback rating , ZERO

lucky you , biggest loader ive ran is a 4 yd bucket machine our newest is a 544j deere, keep it greased and it will run circles around the case's we used to own of the same size

as for the ugliest , id go with plenty of gm's mainly new cars , but their all not worth a dime in my opinion
