...Cleaned up real nice !   Good luck with it.   As if luck with a decently maintained MACK was necessary !

Outstanding job on both trucks!  They look fantastic!  What's next, let's see, an LJSWX, right? I hope,   or in the other direction, a DM800 and an early RD688SX?   Even If you stop at these two B's , you have a very admirable fleet!!  Enjoy driving them!

SO FAR SO GOOD;  PICTURES RETURNED LIKE YOU SAID,  NAVIGATING IS VERY SIMILAR TO BEFORE AND MUCH QUICKER.  GOOD JOB BARRY,  THAT'S WHY YOUR THE BOSS!

I'M NOT SEEING ANY OF THE PICTURES IN THE FORUMS SECTION THAT WERE THERE BEFORE

HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS TRUCK; VERY PRETTY AND TUFF AS NAILS! . . . GOTTA LOVE THEM 24'S !!

Nice looking truck and colors.

Why does the stripping go at an angle on the door are they paving contractors so it looks like a road?

IN A NUTSHELL SIR; AMONG OTHER THINGS LIKE EXCAVATION AND SITE PREP, YES THEY ARE/WERE PAVING CONTRACTORS. SOME FROM THE EAST MAY ALSO NOTE THE SIMILARITY IN PAINT SCHEME TO J. SUPOR & SON TRUCKING & RIGGING OF A FEW YEARS BACK AS THIS TRUCK'S PREVIOUS OWNER, FRANK GACCIONE, AND THE LATE MR. JOSEPH SUPOR WERE VERY CLOSE FRIENDS.

This is what the R model is replacing. The CH is getting fitted with a 750 Holmes wrecker unit.

MIKE, IS THE HOLMES 750 THAT IS GOING ON THE CH ONE OF YOUR FINDS? I SEEM TO REMEMBER YOU OBTAINING ONE AWHILE BACK. THE R-MODEL LOOKS GREAT; AWESOME THAT ITS BACK ON THE ROAD.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL RESTORATION; GORGEOUS! MORE PICTURES PLEASE . . . I'M SALIVATING

There was also a serie of WW2 LMSW heavy wreckers produced.

They were used by Canadians.

Had the same style flat fenders but central positioned cabs. The later ones had military style open cabs.

There are still many survivers in Europe, mostly in the UK and the Netherlands.

AWESOME HEAVY WRECKER!

I grew up seeing this truck and others they had. I worked there 2000-2008, this one was redone a little over 10 years ago and the pic is from then. It was all dark blue with an OX body originally, me and that old dog went through a lot together...

I'M SURE YOU HAVE MANY GREAT MEMORIES; WE WONT TALK ABOUT ANY "NOT SO GREAT MEMORIES", chuckle chuckle!

CRESTVIEW RD DUMP IS BEAUTIFUL; BIGDOGTRUCKER, IT MUST HAVE BEEN A PLEASURE TO DRIVE. OBVIOUSLY YOU DIDNT JUST DRIVE IT THO', JUDGING BY THE LONGEVITY OF ITS LIFESPAN, YOU "CARED" FOR IT TOO! WHAT IS THE TIME FRAME OF THIS PICTURE?

WAS A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU AND MOST OF YOUR FAMILY AND THANKS FOR THE PHOTOS

Awesome, thank-you - just like being there!

LET'S JUST SAY THAT I WORKED FOR THE CURRENT MACK COMPANY AND WAS REALLY INTO THE PROGRESSION OF THE "BUILT LIKE A MACK TRUCK" HERITAGE AND WOULD LOVE TO CREATE A NEW BREED OF MACK TRUCK OWNERS, USERS AND ENTHUSIASTS I WOULD TURN IN THOSE PLANS TO MY BOSS AS THE NEW MACK "RETROLINER" ! THESE PLANS WOULD PARALLEL THE FORD MUSTANG, THE CHEVROLET CAMARO AND THE DODGE CHALLENGER. SUGGESTIONS ACCEPTED AS FAR AS OPTIONS. JUST MY 2 CENTS BUT I LOVE THE CONCEPT!!

RODGER THAT

NICE JOB, LOOKS GOOD - I MEAN REAL GOOD!

Great story! Those times and people just cannot be forgotten. If you have pictures too, that story belongs in the MACK MUSEUM

Chuck P. - Bobby says sorry he missed you - See you at the next ATHS club meeting or in Macungie if your there.

Maddog, yes this is the ex- Mauro B81 dump, now owned by the same fellow that owns the fully updated green LJSWX/LJ2D Mack dump that has the name Cappello across the front bumper.

much obliged Sir Hancock!
