Was by BL Duke the other day, kinda by 55 & Harlem, and see they have a Superliner. Looks like the hood makes a bit of a right turn while its up.

I had no doubt King Madigan wouldn't let the road projects go unfunded and let his union buddies down you could have bet the farm on it and really raked in the cash. This state is really a sorry example of democrat tax and spend policys if it wasn't as serious as it is one would think its a joke and it just may be the jokes on us.

Agreed! This has to be the worst state in the Union, or top three at least. Don't think I'll be able to retire here, just hope my house is worth something when I leave.

Saw this Superliner the other day. Looks like it has an R-model fuel tank. Kinda rough.

Myself, 57BCR, and Macknutt are behind Staxx. Didn't get to meet everyone, but I did get to chat with Staxx about the race truck. Was interesting, I learned a few things. What a great show.

Saw this A Lamp RD the other day. Also saw they got themselves in a bit of trouble. I'll attach the link.

Saw a nice red r model for the second time now coming out of nmlk mill in Portage In gets on 94 headed towards Chicago. I think the name on it is Moller or something like that . It's pulling a steel dump was wondering if anyone knows it. Sharp truck.

Maybe this truck? Macknutt (Mike) took this picture and posted it on this thread a couple months ago.

Still got your truck? Or driving for Johler full time?

My uncle has the red/silver truck. A guy named Jim drives it now. Jim used to have a silver 359 and hauled for Meyers for many years with it. I'll be in the red/black one full time now. My buddy that used to drive it decided he wanted a career change, so he became a Lake County Sheriff. I'm also friends with the owner, so I went over there just to help out in the winter and it just kinda became permanent. So odds are if you see it rolling around its me 99% of the time, or the owner. Still have my blue Pete and B model though.

Saw SAS454 on Friday, didn't even get a wave.

Was running around Lake County and saw this Superdog the other day. I think it said Clearview tree service on the door? I had never seen it before.  Looks like it has mileage plates, so it must not get out much.

When they had their RS700L's for sale about 10 years ago I stopped in to look at them. In the shop they had a 2 or 3 new mid 80s R models just sitting on jack stands waiting for work or to replace a crashed truck. I for get the mileage but it was very very low. Their RS700L's went to a exporter

I remember those RS's for sale a couple years back. They looked to be in decent shape from what I remember. They're doing hard time somewhere warm now, I can bet.

When did carl get the red b model?

I think he's had it for a couple years. Looks like they finally got it finished. I think they were working on it in house.

That Hendrickson belongs to Scott Moore. He lives just over the line in Indiana and brought it out. He's also a Mack nut. His next project is an old Sargento Cheese R model with a 36 inch bunk. Gonna be cool when done.

Just a reminder to the local guys, or anybody really, Maggio's truck show is this Saturday. Baxter Rd & I-39 Rockford.

9am to 3pm. Bring a truck, old, new it doesn't matter, its just for fun. Looks like the weather will be good. If you can't

bring a truck, just bring yourself.

Saw one of the StorkMack mixers out cruising today.

Flood Brothers RD rear packer I saw in Bellwood the other day.

Just a few trucks that I saw this week. No show dogs, just some work trucks.

Acme refining must have gone under I see some of their tractors parked at other companies and they were peeling the names off the doors and saw one of their RDs on a lowboy in front of me heading north the lowboy had Wisconsin plates.

The kid took it over from the Dad, then changed the name to PURE metals. Sounds like he got a little over extended from the story I heard and lost the place. He is back in business in a small yard off of 35th and Racine. Right next to Pershing rd where you go up over the bridge by the Vulcan recycle yard and Columbia Pipe and Supply. It's a small place called Bridgeport Metals.
