Hi Tom, What are you replacing you're truck with? Paul

Hi Tom, I am glad you and Jamie have gone to school to have a back up career. My only regret was not going to business school rather than engineering, would have helped prevent some mistakes even thoiugh it can't make you a businessman, (either you are or you're not). Long story short, ended up with 28 trucks and broke by age 26. Just stay in touch however because I do move machinery around and don't know if you would be set up for that, packaging equipment as in photo. Just moved 4 of these lines from PA to IN........Paul

Hi Vinny, Another in MA but has a Fuller in it http://eastmillbury.americanlisted.com/all-categories/1970+mack+dm800/

Hi Vinny, Thank you for the effort, I have spoken with both owners a few weeks ago. The red one has been used very hard according to the owner and would need a good amount of coinage dumped into it. Spoke, with the blue owner but has the 5 speed w/ Maxidyne engine. Maybe I am expecting too much after seeing the Long Island one I posted above, not so much as the fact the tires were 90% and the price was 5 grand, but moreso that it was a truck you would drive home, back into a garage and just have to dust it off occationaly, don't think they knew what they had............Paul

Hi Vinny, Ideas on how to find one, they were concentrated in the NYC area because of the short wheelbase which I dint not realize were built till I saw them on the New York Construction Trucks topic on this site the day before this one came toi my attention. Thanks, Paul

1966 DM800

Hi Vinny, I just lost out on a DM800 short wheel base NYC truck, attached pic, I have posted a want ad on here, do you have any ideas? Has to be 1966 to 1972 with a quad box, Thanks, Paul

Hello Guys, Looking for a DM800 similiar to this one, 1966 to 1972, with a short wheel base and quad box,THANKS, Paul

Hi Tom, Are you offically in business where you could move a couple of dump trucks into New England? Paul

Thanks Ben, I ve got to find the time for sure, but this shop has been running 6 days a week and consuming me..will stay in touch.......Paul

No problem Tom, I am still in business btw but again as I have said before I am heartened to see young guys like you on here, gives me hope for the future of this country,,,,,,,,,,again feel free if you ever need to chat.....(866)-548-2555 .............Paul

Hi Ben, I havent yet, i DID HAVE A CLASS 1 and i signed off to give at least 100 guys theirs, friends and my drivers, it was easy back then, remember im an old man, lol. I let mine expire when I went into the Tool & Die business. At my age now i think it will be tough to get it back. ........thanks......Paul

Hi Tom, Sounds like its in you're blood like me, lol. I however went broke by the time i was 26 by overextending the business, owned 28 Macks and 30 leased to me working on the interestate system be constructed. From that time on I 've been in the tool & die business for packaging equipment doing business with Schick Wilkinson and Revlon, etc. One thing I regret is not going to business school rather than engineering. Feel free to contact me if you wish...........Paul Roncetti

Hi T Bone, Are you in college, are you in the truckig business? Watched your video, enjoyed it...............Paul

Vinny, Ever buy parts from McMASTERR-CARR? I have an extra catalog if you want it..........Paul

Nice Pic Vinny, Viewed you're vids on U Tube, very proffetional, keep it up, both of you truckers, Thanks, Paul

COOL, that would be something if you could restore it to the Hudson truck maddog. Owner told me it took him 5 years and as you probably know its featured on U Tube.....Paul

HI maddog, Is that Mack under the DM800 like the 1940 that was up at the Hudson, MA show in Aug?

Hi Tyson, Welcome to the site. Any idea why they downgraded to Volvo? Paul

The other thing Vinny, when some of us say remarks that you perceive as teasing, don't pay attention to it, I'm sure you know we don't mean it........Paul

Well said Mike and F.W.D. In the news we only seem to hear so much about bad kids and so on, its very encouraging to know we have Vinny and Ben and more than likely a lot more like them but never hear much about them...........Paul

I KNOW THAT VINNY, AND FIGURE YOU'RE THE ONE TAKING ALL THE PICTURES THATS WHY WE NEVER SEE YOU NEXT TO YOU'RE TRUCK, BUT ANYWAY KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND DON'T GET DISCOURAGED, SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE A LOT OF SUPPORT.......PAUL

Nice progress Vinny, have never seen an shots of the proud owner by his vehicle, any idea where he is?

Hi Lunday, I tend to like the B's first, secondly the DM800's mainly because they were what I owned 45 years ago. I think you have to go with what you like and worry about the details afterwards. Just my opinion, Paul.

Thanks Loadstar, all good info, will let you know.......
