So the guy from Mack calls back today and says the parts fit all of a sudden? Imagine that!

I like how it says "we will also like to invite the person to Nigeria" like i would ever want to go there.

My superliner has them screwed on and we can still open the vents

I just reported it.

Reply- I'll make you a deal you cannot resist! Send over all of the Macks you have, and we'll return multiple full ship loads of misc. year Volvo trucks! Free of charge!

Man that's just crazy. I would never send anything over there. The U models, suffering. The pain. The pain.

I sent him him this, "I DO NOT EXPORT"

I JUST GOT THIS MESSAGE. WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK THEIR DOING LOOKING FOR PARTS TO EXPORT TO NIGERIA?

DID ANYONE ELSE GET THIS?

Like those B model plows. Those DM's may be White Oak (only a guess) I think they numbered there trucks on the grill guard like that. Numbers seem to be close.

The Operating Engineers have one of those trucks in the pictures and its painted green sand my dad said Tomasso put his numbers like that.

No that is Tom. This guy is Dave-retired O & G driver.

I didn't think it was the same just saying.

Matt, I was talking to a cousin of mine today and mentioned this. He said that apparently Tilcon got in some sort of legal hassle with an aquisition and was forced to provide Pine Rock with material. In essence he confirmed just what your dad said. He did not have an explanation of just what the relationship was between Farnum and Blakeslee. I can remember though that I was never loaded by Blakeslee -it was always under the hopper for straight stone or by Farnums loader for process.

My dad sees your cousin(i think) that has the granite tri-axle down working at Gateway all the time.

Ct public television had a pretty elaborate special on it like a year or so ago. I bet if you go on they're website you can probably buy a copy.

I was just watching a part of it on YouTube

Im pretty sure Mallico construction from Milford bought it over the summer. They ran it for a little while and didn't like it's lack of power. They're used to 5 & 600 hp Pete's. They might have already unloaded it to some overseas broker in Jersey. I hope they still have it, but I have my doubts. Would be a damned shame if they did indeed sell it.

That truck had no miles on it and was in relatively good shape. My dad kept asking Beard if he would sell it but he said they might need it and would call us if they would sell it but they never called so.

Notice how a lot of the pictures have Macks in them

The Camerota's where my grandmother's cousins. There was Jerry who was at one time VP of Blakeslee. Jackie who was President of the Operating Engineers. Mike and Frank where his sons. I was told Jerry wanted to buy the ready mix side of things after Westinghouse took over. I think he wasn't going to have the cash flow to buy a fleet and aggregates, so it never worked out for him. In the early seventies Foxon leased or rented the Chapel St. plant in order to complete the Rt. 40 connector. Clark and Barone was bought out by Len-Crete. The plant in Westville or Woodbridge was closed and everything was moved to Leonard's Mather St. yard in Hamden. I think one of the Barone's stayed on with Leonard as a salesman for awhile. I remember Leonard Pipe manufactured so much pipe, they rented empty lots up and down Dixwell Ave. to stage pipe before it was shipped.They actually had two sales offices.One in NYC and the other north of Albany.

Are they related to the Camerota Construction of North Branford

Fountains Garage?

Nevermind my dad just said its Joes Garage

i would love to crawl around that Suzio yard taking pictures and exploring. Are they receptive to truck people like us ?

From what i know you just gotta call up there and ask and they will let you look around and take pictures. I have been meaning to get up there, I have a school break coming up so maybe i can convince my dad to take ride up there

Isn't that also the truck that they were talking about on here it was a B-52

What ever happened to that tri-axle? My dad was trying to buy it from beard for years but they said it was registered just in case they needed it even though they hadn't used it for years and it was all apart.

I think he wants to put the truck on his lowboy. I think the lowboy hes talking about is one of those old style ones with the tires across the back

My dad was just telling me one of the last cars he got a week later took him the whole day to dig out. The owner f the car called the DMV because of the big price. they wanted to talk to the driver (who didn't have a license )

Wonder how long those cars were stuck on the highway.

Nice pics, thank you.

My dad was telling me how he was pulling cars off the Highway for days. He was only 15 at the time driving a F-350 for East Side Garage. I like the picture of the 2 B-models and Ford plowing the best.

truck came out of new haven ct was joes garage tow truck

Fountains Garage?

If wearing on inside sounds like toe off or king pins jack it up and really try moving hub up and down to see if bad kingpin
