  1. Shortcircuit7044. Thanks for your response. Where did your father drive out of ? My dad drove out of a terminal in Oregon, Ohio
     for 30 years. I am interested in the specs. Funny Buzzard. I would be interested of the one that may exist in central Ohio.

    Thanks again for both of your responses.

  2. Paul, thanks for more information and ideas. I have one more pic that came from the internet.

    It was an ex Matlack tractor. It gives a better idea of the rear end which I think matches one

    of your photos. It shows the wheelbase much better also.

  3. Paul, thanks for your reply. The last R model I saw from my father's company was in 1993.

    At that time it was a R686ST with a 300 maxidyne, 5 speed combination. The fuel tank were

    the silver aluminum as seen in this photo. The wheels were steel and painted yellow. The

    interiors had one seat with no passenger seat. I am not sure of the spring ratings but the

    trucks were hauling up to 80,000 lbs of liquid or bulk. They were plain Jane's really.

    Looking around for a couple of years the aluminum fuel tanks are less common.

  4. My father drove for Matlack Inc. for 35 years. They went out of business in 2001. I was wondering if

    anyone knows of an R Model that was part of their company fleet. My plans would be to restore it.

    Thanks for any responses to this.
