Ha, I thought that as well. Had to take a closer look the first time around to see what it was.

How about a Chicago Brockway. Tommy B sent me a picture of this truck last year and I forgot to post it. Another friend of mine spotted it sitting at a repair shop on 83 in Elmhurst. I went by last week and it was still there. My buddy got a couple pictures for me. Tommy heard this truck came from NY and now a small plumbing company owns it. I'm thinking its the only one around.

Went by Marks Machinery last Saturday and saw this Titan out front. Not sure who it belongs to but it had a little sticker in the window that said it came out of New York Mills MN. It looks similar to a Perkins Heavy Haul truck from MN but I don't think it is. Had a huge winch on the back and a big stack of leaf springs in the rear. 50, 60 thousand lb rears? Has to be a heavy truck.

This was sent to me Monday afternoon. Happened at the Meyer/Ozinga Wheeling yard. Whoops.

Cool!

A friend passed this picture along to me. Pretty cool birds eye view of the Mack dealer next to Comisky Park back in 1970. Does anybody know when that dealer moved outta there?

Hopefully it won't get "run" into the ground.

A misc CH bootleggin some Coors from Texarkana.........I'm assuming. Coors is still illegal right? Maybe I'm behind the times.

I hate that crap hole! Nothing about that place is good. Its tough to get to, rough, crowded, %100 crap!! I have been there more than I would like. Their scale house burned down two weekends ago, I wish the whole place would go up. The only thing that is even remotely decent is that I can take a couple pictures of Mack's while I'm there, and that's really not all that great. I'd trade that for a better place to dump any day.

Great pictures!

I heard the final cost on that truck was $150,000. I would believe that. I think I would have stuffed air ride under it for a few more bucks.

So this is a new one, F650 Mack?? It actually does look like something Volvo would produce and slap a Mack badge on.

The Hager Superliner is the former Ruffalo lowboy truck that was posted a little while back. I was gonna tell you guys that awhile back but I forgot to pass that along that they bought that.

Saw this old girl out working the other day.

Been spending more time in the city than I would like, so while I'm there I try to get a few Mack shots. Also got one of a tug & barge coming up the river. I thought the CTC (Celli) truck looked kinda cool parked along Elston Ave. The old Dean Foods CH had a regular tailgate, not a barn door so that was interesting watching that struggle.

I had to swing into Bristol Hose today. When I walked out there was a Rossi truck at the light. Looks like an older R. When did they quit putting the ridge on the back of the fender on the hood? 82-ish??

I remember going to the piano factory mall as a kid. What a disappointment that place was. About three stores and a vending machine.

Here are a few pictures from my travels this week. Saw an RD conveyor that belongs to Aldridge Electric. Saw the Heneghan Wrecking Granite at General, and got a quick pic of a Superliner on the scale. I've seen the Superliner before, it pulls a green 39ft dump, but I can never get a good picture of it. Also saw the Windy City Brick Mack Granite picking up old bricks from a wrecked building. They had a crew of guys hand stacking all the bricks onto pallets and the guy in the Mack came by and picked the pallets up. I'm assuming they reuse, or resell the bricks. Also took a shot of Ozinga's Chinatown yard while I was sitting in traffic. No Macks there, but I though the picture turned out nice.

A friend passed these pictures along to me. This truck is at Smith Transports place in DeKalb. I had heard it was there and being worked on. But other than that I don't know who it belongs to or what the story is on it. Pretty cool big Mack.

I hear stuff on the CB all the time. Like, I ain't got no panties on, f-you, go F yourself, shut up n-word, stupid mf-err, hey you got it on (20 times) with no reply, are the scales open (with 20 different answers for some reason). Oh yeah, all sorts of classy professional chatter out there.

Tommy B passed these pictures along to me the other day. Brand new Titan. Just by the colors I'm sure most everybody from around here will know who this truck belongs to.

This is true. Although this place is a crap hole and that's just kinda how they roll.

Looks awesome. I like it. Got one by me that looks very similar.

Was at General Iron the other day. Saw a pretty clean R model six wheeler right before I pulled in. The red/white RD reminded me of an old DiPaulo truck. Saw a couple other Macks and took a pic of Generals wheel loader. Makes me laugh, the tires are worn to a nub, it's slowly turning into a low rider.

Thank you.
