I seem to remember that the Zero was a Howard Hughes design that the the us military rejected , and the Jap's either bough .copied or stole.

That is the truth! I snatch a lot of MACKS out of the mud both mixers ,and dumps and a few block trucks .I only rode the under lift wrecker when the short shaft between the rears fell out.

Look to the left of it you will see what looks like parts of another machine. That would be awesome to convert to a mini D 4 and take to truck shows.

When My sons were still in school they each and a amex card one had a gold card at 18 and the other had a standard amex car at 16,even though they say he couldn't have one they issued him one . they used them for years until they were done with school ,traveled every where by plane and stayed in hotels and motels from North Dakota to DC. -

1985 Superliner
gxbxc replied to j hancock's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
You mentioned it was an 85 but titled an 86 , I kinda remember back in the sixties unsold trucks on a dealers lot were issued new vin plates with the new year on them ,In 66/67 I worked for a company that had all REO's like 50 of them and I was at the dealer and read about it. -
I used to see that trucked parked a a mom/pop motel on rt. 6 in Bethel, right off I84 exit 8 , Don't know where it was going but I it was there every month or so back in the seventies
-
Isn't someone restoring that truck,I remember seeing something about it ,They pulled it out of the weeds in Fl and towed it to SC for restoration They were looking for donor cab parts .
-
You said that that dump body was used ,It sure is nice ,I really like the turning on it ,did you do that or was it all ready done,
-
I saw a picture a few years ago of one of the old dump trucks with HI HO welded into the side as ribs for the body. When I left Ct they were still running the single steer axles on the all green trucks ,Onions and Garlic were gold and aluminum. A lot changed up there after mid 1980's.
-
I remember seeing that rail bus or a sister to it sitting in the Danbury rail yard when I was a kid .It sat but the old coal trestle where HiHo Diddario ,(He was a big Mack user after the IH's) had there concrete plant just resting in the overgrown weeds . some of the old high wire equipment used to keep it company. When I returned from Vietnam most of the rail yard was cleaned out(round house burned etc.the it turned up at Sperrys along with a stripped NYC subway car body. An electric contractor wound up with the subway body in the early 80's for storage .

Young Helping The Old
gxbxc replied to j hancock's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
those rough riding slow truck is why railroads thrived until the 50's. It was over night newyork to boston -
I have worked in bucket trucks and 85'ladders , had a ride in one of those 100' hyranger fire trucks , It was kind off cool the lower half would clear the power lines and we could stretch out the upper half across the road but at 90 degrees like that the platform would really move . but when we stopped you could watch the boom sections twist.That was my last ride.
-
yea don't forget the Hudson straight 8 and the Buick straight 8, the Hudson Hornet ruled NASCAR for years. It was kinda fun watching some old grandmother put her Hudson in a parking space ,kinda like watching her park an old needle nose KW.

And don't forget the pillow mints.
