That Super-Liner was bought new by "Lucky Bob" Amato.He leased it to Terra Cotta until his death in the mid to late '90's.George Koske then bought it, had the cab reskinned (and totally repainted) and motor in-framed by N.I. Mack.He put a bunch of money into it.I don't recall either of those two ever beating the hell out of that truck.Would be a nice one to get ahold of.

I ran with Bob in the early 80's, and that Super Dog was always clean. I remember it being bright red. I did not know that he passed away. I also remeber he had a nice looking woman riding with him a lot of the time.

any more of those catom r modle pics ?damn nice truck.i remembe when they bought out day and night lowboy service got some nice ch s in that deal

Jeff who? Let's just let it go at that. They aquired a 4axle CH, a 3 axle CH and 2 RD"S in the deal. The RD's were gone first and the two CH's were replaced with Kenworths.

Thanks for posting these Ken. These were the one I remembered from your website.You think anybody there would drive an R-model nowadays? HA

ONLY 1 comes to mind!

I bought that truck about 8 years ago. It was in funks old yard at rt22 and 14. I was 22 years old and had just found my first Chicago b model. The cab had no floor inside. Had old for sale signs used for a fake floor Rust holes around every window. The rear wall had a steel brace that I assume was to hold it to the frame because the rust was so bad. Double frame was spreading so bad that the rails were cracked in 3 spots. It had the air assist but not hooked up. Rear camelbacks had the old roto chambers. I saved the engine,doors,hood,fenders,and rear ends. Put some of that stuff into the CTC b model I bought a few years later.

Thanks for posting the pictures Trent.

Thought I would add a few more pics from my collection.

Nice collection!! Where is the Harry Kuhn Mixer? I will post some of my model pictures when I am finished with the R models. Ken

isnt that dave stellmans brother?he had stellman trucking in plainfield.

Yes, unfortunatley Dave (the black sheep of the family) is Tom's brother. Tom, myself, and Frank Kindle hauled gravel for Dave in the beginning out of E & E's pit, Avery's, Boughton's, Thelen's, and others. After a short time, Tom went on his own.

I bought a reliable wrecking b model from N J funk. It was set up with a 711 and 20 speed. Frame and cab were beyond repair. Should have passed on it but it was one of the only b models I had seen.

I got my Chauffeur's license(pre CDL) with that B Model. I worked there part time in the 70's before Catom. That truck was originally a Hertz truck with a winch and the dreaded air assist steering. Otto Heinz (Reliable) sold it to a guy in MO who never picked it up. It sat at his farm for a lot of years. Unfortunatle, I have lost a lot of pictures, and Reliable's B was one in that bunch.
