Guy who sent me is a foreigner(middle east?).He's an exporter/broker....Says the asking price is 11K!The truck is in Barkhamsted CT I know that much.

Buy it if its a exporter!

We have the regular old style Mack one on ours since new and it looks and works good

Looks similar to the ones Yaworski has

Superdog. I agree with you with the Granite VS T 800. However here in Ct it seems that Mack just can't make much headway into Paccar domination. Gateway/Tilcon/O&G/Rawson/American/Suzio. I guess we will see what happens when the Paccars get to the end of there life cycle. I am sure they will not have second lives the way the old Macks had.

I think a lot of it in CT also has to do with our dealer here since a lot of people go to Mass to get there parts. Aslo, Gateway never really had a lot of Macks but mostly Peterbuilts they only had a R700, DM800 and they still run a R-model to pull their lowboy

Back in the 70's to early 80's before the restoration bug bit so many of us, so many of the older Macks were a dime a dozen. The need for bigger engines more speed and such things as airride suspension was at the forefront then and the boys in Allentown did't seem to catch on until they had lost a large share of the OTR business. THE FOREIGNERS came over with suitcases of cash and Mack being their preferred truck and me having a yard full of obsolete trucks and no driver being willing to drive more than a few weeks while the other drivers drove more powerful better riding trucks with ameneties ie: ps ac airride suspension cab and seat.Having these trucks just sitting around rusting made no sense so the man with the suitcase full of cash wins every time.It waseither sell them for export or scrap them.What would you have done??? NUFF SAID

Sell the big horsepower trucks and tell the drivers drive the good old ones or leave

i know ill never buy a brand new electronic truck if i don't have to. I already clean and help take care of my dads trucks now and ill keep tehm going as long as possible.

Do you know about Russo's R-model? Capello use to haul out of a prestress plant in town we use to see the trucks all the time. I see he went out and bought a bunch of Kenworths instead now, the kid must have not liked macks

Thankyou for your thoughts on the tanks, for now they will remain black and pinstripped, need to save the money. The truck in its current life is in retirement and slowly will be restored to a show appearence, only hauling will be to move the B-61 to out of state shows, the truck is workable though if I ever annoy my present employers at the golf course,,,,Yep I grow grass for a living. Here is a pic you may like, this truck is in my area.

I saw both those trucks for sale at Global and then the superliner at Arron's, what ever happend to it?

any of those dump trailers for sale

gg2

no

Didn't want to get the Superdog dirty so...

Did they just paint them or are they steel?

Last i knew Suzio only had the 2 R-models with the really short fruehaufs but I see in the picture above a newer one? Beards old one is still sitting in Milford so idk

A couple Suzio pics

i like that trailer mixer combo

Here is an article about Tippin and his Macks

I think Midway wound up with some old Foxon stuff as well, but they cleaned up that mess awhile ago. The old man used to have a thing for old fire trucks at that point in time.

Troiano had one of their old DMs which was a tri-drive cab and chassis which some of the parts where used on our Dm

The F-model is on Shipping Wars right now for anyone who did not see it

The body is in great shape!

The truck only hauled stone and then when they went out of business the guy who bought it was going to redo it and put a lift axle on it and go work for Tilcon but he never got that far and then we ended up with it so it probably hasn't been used in the last 20 yrs

Any side shots?

Ex-HiHo. My dad saw it hiding at Tilcon's plant in Newtown from the owner of Hi Ho D'Addario with a spun bearing in the motor. A month later it was painted and running got on the highway and realized it went slow! It only went 52mph. Ran it for a year and then changed ring and pinions in the rears and got it up to 65mph. Used it as a site truck later in Wallingford.

Ex-Foxon concrete truck was originally wrecker then repowered in mid-70s with brand new 711 and they put a brand new 16ft aluminum dump on it for use going back and forth to Tilcon according to Angelo Frione we acquired the truck in the late 90s it is currently waiting for restoration
