    Well I went by the place a while back and they brought in a huge excavator with a shear on it and most everything went into big dumpsters was a couple mounds of tires left but they are gone now too . sad to see it happen . but figured it would someday hopefully a few made it out of there 😞

    I got to know him a little bit ! he was a neat ole timer and if you stopped and had time he’d talk old trucks for hours they were all part of his company he said he built a lot of Rt 22 in that area and something to do with the state and money he just parked it all but nothing was for sale the few times I stopped . But a few did leave the past few years. Couple brockways and a steel dash R model with a v-8 Detroit in it it’s on you tube loading and leaving on a trailer he had lots of stuff planes too !

    Hi. Fellas I got a used rear mount pto for my R model It has Mack 1070b 12 speed and it has hollow Shaft pto fits and works but driveshaft yoke for rear end Hits pto housing won't clear it what's involved in making it clear Changing shaft etc . Will parts off 6 speed interchange ? Any info appreciated . My local Mack dealer not interested in trying to help me Figure it out .
