Saw this Mahoney CL700 awhile back.

Saw an Autocar out working the other day.

Looks like Sparky in the Christensen RD with a van trailer on, rolling down 20.

Scott's not in the r anymore man he took good  care of it liked it when it was red with the flames.that's too bad for that r model 

No, he is in a white T800 with blue fenders now. He wanted something with air ride.

Saw a Plote Granite doing some scrapping the other day.

Brites keeps their trucks looking good. Glad your posting again PeterMack, this thread was slow without you!

Ha, thanks. Been an extremely busy summer. I've been taking pictures and people send pictures to me all the time but I haven't had much time to post. Scott, the guy that used to drive the grey R model for Brites is in a T800 now. He said the new guy in the R-model beats the shit out of it and he said that is probably the cleanest that truck will ever be. Sounds like it will get run into the ground. Sad

Yea every body any more wants cookie cutter p o s trucks

I don't think they want cookie cutter trucks, that's the only option anyone gets nowadays from all manufacturers. They are selling what they want to sell or what the government mandates them to sell not what the customer wants. Def and re-gen wouldn't be a thing if it were up to the customer. All these new trucks are plastic junk throwaways. 10 year lifespan, use them up and throw em in the trash.

A couple Brites trucks that were on one of our jobs last month.

You beat me to it SAS454. I think the red and green ones are MB Rizzi.

Saw this on Fox Towing Facebook page. Looks like they were moving a B model for someone. There was no details with the picture.

A friend spotted this the other day. Looks like an old Rizzi truck.

A friend passed these pictures along to me over the summer. Looks like some ex Meyer mixers that are parked in Palatine.

R model lugger truck I saw in Chicago the other day.

The tow truck biz must be booming!

Oh yeah. No shortage of work around here for those guys.

Time for some more Chicagoland awesomeness.

Pretty sure this Superdog used to belong to Tom's in Naperville. Looks like its stuck in the city now and will probably die there.

Lenzie Superliner.

Been extremely busy lately. Still taking Mack pictures but haven't had much time to post them. A friend passed these along to me. One of Kanzlers Superliners parked in the weeds in Cary. What a waste!

Saw this on Facebook the other day. A Central Sod R-model. Not sure who took the picture. Its been a few years since I've seen Central running an R. All newer trucks now.

Went by Vaneck Bros on Pershing in Chicago the other day and saw that they had a few Macks for sale out front. Looks like they have

several B-models stuffed out back as well.

A few Elmhurst Chicago Stone trucks. Plus my First Gear ECS trucks, and a picture of their old pit on 83 in Elmhurst that I took at least 13 years ago with a disposable camera. Had to put the two pictures together.
