This company owns at least 4 Superliners, 3 are dump trucks, and one a Tri-Axle tractor.

Taken in Philly, but the Company is from Ohio

Geppert Bros has a lot of Tri-Axles, but they are going back to Petes now.

Glad you saved them. the CH612 looks awesome with spoke rims on it.

Nice Pics Mike, a lot history there.

Nice Find! I think there was a Blue B61 Dumptruck that used to be off of State and Street Road in Bensalem near Meco's yard.

They did have a lot of autocars at one time, but they all fell apart. The cabs would rot near the top of the windshield. I bet you can stick your arm through the rot gap on #505. Most of them got patched. They still use them as site trucks, and there are a few up in Bethlehem. They also have a fixed up and nice looking DK that they use a fuel truck.

Mike D, you should see what they do with their pickups, they have one fairly new (2008-10) F250 completelty stripped down, just bed, cab, and hood.

a little revival to this thread...

JDM still has 3 Giants in Service as water trucks, one as a parts truck. All where all cement mixers at one time like the one you have pictured.

I think Billy Boy has a RD, a granite, a Red Kenworth T-800 and 379 sleeper. I think they are a MBE for Hire company.

Old tri-axle DM800 mixer

William Cohen and Sons where selling that truck. Delaware Valley Concrete used to run similar Macks too.

Taken in PA, but the company is from Jersey. They got an awesome fleet of Macks.

Never recalled Abbonizio having a lube truck. AP construction/JPC got some cool macks in that area too.

Thanks for correcting me, usually I thought It was a R because of the Grille, and the U-Model has a big air cleaner.

I did not get the serial number, I had someone with me, and was in a hurry to snap the pics.

I spotted this truck back in 2011 in a parking lot. I don't see many Mack toters around let alone an older toter.

From my archives

Macks, some of the older Autocars are Junk, cab would rot near the top of the windshield, and they fell apart too easily compared to a Mack. The ACL's where not that bad though

I will be 20 in June, and I always had a respect for Mack trucks. Growing up in Eastern PA (Which I consider to be part of the Mack Truck Capital of the world, PA), Mack Trucks have always been a common sight and sound throughout my life, and I enjoy the older (and modern) Mack trucks.

Looking good Mike, did you restore the R Model Too?

That U model was originally parked behind the fence on State Road across from YRC. Whoever painted it did a bad good too, there is over spray everywhere.

First Gear 1/50 GU713

Yes they had a big auction last March. Their quarrys went to H&K, but their quarrys where always operated by H&K/Miller affiliate.

Years ago,, you knew from the color of the equipment who got the bid

Durkin all red

Morrissey all green

Today everything has rented or leased stickers

So True that quote, most companies who had liverys are gone, or no longer do it.

D'angelo, Stopped doing it

Depaul, Stopped doing it

Dimarco, Gone

Durkin, Gone

Glasgow, Stopped doing it

Morrissey, only for repaints of older machines with OEM paint, or with their livery.

Miller, Gone

Railroad Construction Co, I think they still do it.

Mike D, I think your father's CL713 belongs to Thackray crane now, I seen this truck several times.

Looks almost identical expect theirs has a headache rack.
