    why? is this the one they have been restoring out in Cheyenne Wy. for a couple of years now ,I know it is a awesome brute with more tractive power than any MACK ever had .And I know a few Macks of legend could pull the big boy ,but fill it with water and FO, fire up a 230psi head of steam and how many loaded M75 's could it haul. over the rocky mountians

    Last week I saw a dark blue ford go across the intersection where I was stopped and it looked as good as the red one pictured ,then a day later I saw a rag bag blue and black ford and had to do a double take to be sure It wasn't the nice one I had seen earlier, both were tri axle dumps .so they are still around.

    I think that if the new Macks ran trouble free they would sell more of them,Who wants to by a new truck and then live a the dealer for weeks at a time while making payments on a truck that is earning $0. And if they only made a true heavy spec truck that was comerically available and not just to the armys of the world

    I blew more than one tire moving around a footing ,it seem they always leave a stab or two sticking up where you can't see them.

    There was a company where I lived B,J,Dolan in Bethel Ct ,used to run B model mixers 6 wheel and 10 wheel .They used to pull the Mixer units off the ten wheelers in late fall each year and install fuel oil tankers for home oil delivery. in the seventies they went to DM800 . I also remember they had some 50' era Chevy trucks with with small mixers they keep them around well up into the late 60's

    I like the` extendable booms on the back looks like a light to medium duty wrecker.

    I wouldn't want to be operating a crane in that bird's nest of overhead wire.

    You used the wrong wording when you applied to build the houses ,should have said free for illegals and then the AOC's and her like would have been behind you. Instead you rubbed there nose in the fact that they were cowards and would never risk there neck for others.

    Those that had them, used them up and got new one's those that didn't cry what a waste ,but it was only a tool in it's day not the classic it is now

    Twenty years ago there were a lot of them running around Fairfax ,now you only see barrier trucks made from a rental fleet or rag bags hauling dirt but they are being pushed out by freighltiner rag bags

    My buddy in Conn ,had a blue B61 with a weldbuilt wrecker and a 40 ton drag wench,it was all pinstriped with white wall tires . Maybe Hatcity will remember it from The 70's early 80's
  21. gxbxc
    Yes it doesn't rust but the squirrels will eat it to the frame if you ain't looking they eat my wire loom dipstick and air filter housing, It was cheaper to feed them peanuts all winter.

    A couple guys I knew moved there 955 on a tag trailer with a 10 wheel dump pulling it,some had air brakes on a duel tandem axle trailer (the better choice)
  23. gxbxc
    If I remember right the 977 was pretty close to 42,000 lbs. and we always moved them with the detachable gooseneck Rogers. The 955 's were 34,000 The 983 was close to 80,000 I think .but I can't find a shipping weight on line to check.

    What no sleeper on that Strick ?How is a driver going to live .
  25. gxbxc
    I ran the big three back in the late seventies ,955 with the bigger motor a 977, and the real beast 983, the 983 was one hell of rock digging machine and the only one I didn't think was under powered.
