I saw a stark truck at I90 and 47 with a state cop behind him on the exit ramp and I'm pretty sure he wasn't giving him the safe driver of the day award. He was pulling a grain trailer just more revenue enhancement for the great state of Illinois. Speaking of revenue enhancement our town cops were standing at the busiest intersection in town running up and down the lines of cars looking for the dreaded seat belt violation. Its pretty funny how the job of a policeman has regressed to looking into stopped cars to get into ones pocket for not wearing a seatbelt on a street with a 30 MPH speed limit.

They are keeping us safe. LOL!! Don't you always feel safe when you see the red and blue lights flashing in your mirror?

Just saw it last week again. They must be tired of it. Good catch.

Occasionally I like to showcase some of the junk that is running around our area. These trucks caught my eye in the last couple months. I'm sure the drivers on this forum will spot the issues these guys were having. Can't believe these guys don't get stopped.

Hey when in joliet  you can buy lunch lol

You got it. I'll take you to the classiest McDonald's I can find, my treat.

Saw these two R-models the other day in Joliet. New Lenox Paving.

Saw this long R model sitting in Crystal Lake. I'm thinking yank the flatbed off and put a fifth wheel on it and have an extra long WB R-model.....just saying, might be cool.

Saw this R-model about a month ago at 47th st and Central ave in Forest View/Chicago. Old school. Could have taken that picture 30 years ago and it probably would have looked about the same.

PeterMack   even let ME drive it...................about 25 ft as we CAREFULLY  pushed it in the  garage. Thanks  Brian!   AL  

Yep, the memories will last a lifetime :-)

A friend passed these along to me the other day. He saw them all lined up at Ritche bros. in Morris. If I had to guess they are all going for a boat ride. Not sure where the big blue six wheeler is headed.

I can't remember if I posted this or not. B-model fire truck that belongs to an insurance agent in Batavia. The truck is sitting out front along Randall road just south of Keslinger.

I found a Bulldog with  perch & front emblem for you. I'll bring a RH side Bulldog for you too,noticed yours was missing. See you at Walcott. If you don't make it I'll give the stuff to Al.

That is awesome and much appreciated Mike. Thank you. I did find a set of dogs for the hood already. Of all places my Dad had a set that he's had for close to 40 years. He doesn't remember where he got them but I'm glad he saved them.

way to go,Brian,great score. You going to bring it to Walcott?

No. I would love to but I don't have the time for that. Hopefully in the future I can trailer both of them out there.

Saw this R-model the other day. Bill's backhoe & tree service.

That is KooL! 

Being outside would be tough on the Mack.  Hopefully, they will keep an eye on it and stay ahead of any issues.

I wonder if it even runs or is just a lawn ornament?
