    He was definitely part of a dying breed. He never looked like he was acting, it was as if you were just observing someone in public.

    It's just a well you started another thread. This one has girl farts.

    This is from an Interstater brochure. Check out the "Maxidyne 300" stripes in the smaller photo. :

    Got mine yesterday. Absolutely deeee-licious!! I got a chill down my spine when I first saw how thick it was and tasted it, knowing I have some rough days ahead of me. Here's a video from when my Wife walked in on me in the bathroom.>> I have no regrets. Thanks, Tom!

    Those APA MB's were everywhere back then. Trivia: "Drive Safely" placards are a no-no these days.

    Very nice work. Ben doesn't drool. When he sees something he likes, oil leaks out of his pores.

    Nice pics. You can't beat the view from behind the wheel of an R model.

    I like the F900 and the B model with the doubles.

    Congratulations on your epiphany! You may be a late bloomer but you are still ahead of the many who don't understand or want to acknowledge that todays trucks perform better at lower rpms than in the past. Be sure to buy yourself something nice with all that extra cash that will be in your pocket instead of your tank.

    Welcome! Any pics of your RD and CH?

    Beautiful truck! The notched bumper is why I prefer the looks of the earlier Hayward models.

    There's a Brian Dhamer who has lots o' pics of Chicago dumps (and plenty of other trucks) on Hank's site. Can I assume they know one another?

    Would "because it looks cool" also be a correct answer?

    There's another place with yellow construction equipment further east at the Babcock Blvd overpass but I don't know if you can see it from the Pike. He had some huge Autocars at one time.

    There is an explanation on the Turnpike web site as to why they have been raising the tolls every year and will continue to do so up to a certain year, but I don't remember the details and think it's a bunch of crap anyway. I live less than a mile from Turnpike 43 which runs from I-68 in WV to....a busy four lane 10 miles south of Pittsburgh. I doubt I will see it completed in my lifetime but the toll keeps going up every year. There are alternative routes to that highway and they are eventually going to price that road right out of business.

    Those pics look familiar, your original post is probably where I first heard of them. Was there some issue with the owner not wanting to sell or part them but also not wanting to do anything to preserve them? At least 3 of the F's are from Prism Trucking in Dover,DE. I wonder if the owner had them leased on there.

    And why there's a a plate/sticker somewhere in the truck showing how the shift the transmission. So many transmissions use the same lever and air switch, look at the older Roadrangers. I don't know why anyone would assume which transmission they were operating when often times all you have to do is look around or maybe put the the effort into pulling down the sun visor.

    The stripes and spokes look good together on the '89.

    It must have been quite a sight years ago with so many R models pulling similar size/style trailers. When I was a kid it seemed that half of the heavy trucks on the Long Island Expressway were R models or Brockways hauling sand and gravel. The market there also seems to have shifted towards Paccar. There are quite a few beautifully maintained trucks in "large car" dress running the LIE these days, so at least the industry and the pride in equipment are both alive and well.

    Excellent. I don't don't think I'd ever seen the 361. The 3 cabovers were blue with a white stripe. 2 (#12 and #13) were identical with V8 Detroits and their stripes ran in a straight line from the corners under the windshield to the bottom of the grill. The third (#14) did not have a Detroit and the stripe took the same path from the windshield to the grill but it was curved. All 3 had dual stacks.
