My guess is that the state held onto them, tried to charge for storage for over 2 years of the investagation. Fees added up to more than the truck was worth and auctioned off as salvage.Iirc K konstruction was being looked at for stolen trucks and truck parts. But no charges were brought...I know they lost 50% of thir fleet and got just a few tractors and old frameless dumps back to wich most are for sale at their yard on rt12

Yep..

yep palatine rd and Arlington hts rd... Know the place...

Long story about the yellow r models...the state police raided that guys yard. Shot and killed his dog. Went looking for stolen trucks. In pounded all his tractor,trailers,and machines. Later no charges were filed or they could not build a case. Some trucks were returned but most found their way to auction sites. The guy was accused of selling drugs and was a known hot head but that did not justified how he lost all his stuff to the state. His yard is a mile down the road from me.

Lots of candidates but no luck so far....

Vinnie will be here in 3-2-1.......

Good info and can't wait to see it.. Always wanted to see a pic of it again...

On my rs700l my ad9 is factory mounted behind the passenger fuel tank. It changes from copper to rubber hose near the front of the fuel tank.

Al glad you brought that up... When I was a kid I went to a dentist near Rt14 and Virginia street? Some where near there I saw that huge Mack belly dump looking thing. I have never seen a pic of one like it before. I did not know if it really was a Mack because the name plate was very different from what I had seen before.... Thanks for keeping this thread alive.

Back home were getting sloppy wet snow and rain. But I'm down in central fl in 80* temps wearing shorts and taking sips off of a glass with an umbrella in it.

Well I guess we Can add them to the list of people that we won't recommend . I respect anyones opinion but do feel sorry for such shallow minded people. He is not a true trucker or hobbiest in my mind..

in that vintage a 250 was a thermodyne. Without intercooling. Often used with 10 or more speeds. Looks like a 237 but many people swapped over basic parts to convert an old engine into a more user friendly design..I.e spin on filters..

I give full permission ,not that it was needed to ask anyways...I have more class than to complain that my truck was chosen to be shown off.its nice to know someone thought highly of my truck to use it as a mack dealer t shirt.... Cough....I would however like to know when more shirts are made. I would like to buy a few...cough...

Good idea... There are a few of mine on there. Better yet just tell him to remove them and don't give him a clue to where they are at.. All these years i had respect for him and now find out He is a joke

Barry is that my truck in your sig? Wtf....where are my royalties? LOL !

yea that's a roll off trailer. Waste management has some around here as well... I guess it's for larger or heavy dumpsters?

Think some were the same as r models. Just brackets were clocked differently...?.

Fellow board member selling a 350hp pump off a 4v will it bolt up to my 2 valve and should just a pump net me more hp?

I will say that there were a few members that just had to put down just about every mack pic they saw. I was cool with a joke every now and again but it started to seam that some of the members could always talk down to a mack owner but if you dare mention any thing about another make of truck the internet police would chime in. but I guess most of us know that every make of truck had their good and bad. I might check out JOT tonight just for kicks...I really do miss the old ATHS members that would share their wealth of info. it seamed that there was always a few good members that had info on specific stuff. It was very helpfull to have that when I was working on off breed trucks.... I have to say we are very lucky to have Barry and Watts mack letting us use this site how we please. Very limited upsets and we just kind of run it on our own with the pleasure that the mods dont need to police us. We have the off topic and VIP aera where you can show off your inner demons yet keep it clean out in public view. Were all a little odd in our own ways yet our members here have shown the most respect for others than any other board I visit. No Political correctness crap and we just drive this ship like the old school drivers were back in the day. I know the members here have helped me dearly in my time of need and im very thankfull for that!

Havent been on aths site in over a year...I heard some of the old school members on the ATHS fourm had started a new forum with no more bull shit. Is that true? Is it still up and worth the time or is it the same old PC garbage as the last forum became? Just wondering

What would you say the model designation is for this truck? A R600 is a standard hood. A R700 is a standard long hood.... Maybe a R007 because this is a reversed long hood? Lol

We recently repaired a crack in a 1996 international otr tractor. 500k miles cracked dead center above the front axel. Top rail flange was cracked and raised up 1" ....looked like it pinched the rail and the tension pushed the flange upward. We added a inner channel as far forward and aft as we could before getting into big bolts. About 8" either side of the crack. We drilled a hole to stop it spreading,welded up the crack and it's held for the last year with no trouble. Yours will be a little more intense of a repair in that area and the way Mack frames are up front....

What are you asking for the pump. Known or aprox mileage?

Ok here is how I did mine... Remove horn button and nut, soak in penatrating oil. Now Remove doors, hood,fenders,seats, floor boards, gear sticks. Use a back hoe to lift cab off frame. Careful to not bend steering wheel. Now use engine hoist and steering wheel puller to remove wheel....simple

Pretty cool. Steel dash small cab. Looks like a Hendrickson front with a hood off a rd800
