I know it’s been 10 years since the original post @joes mack, but did your friends fire co end up buying the truck?

Changing up the fleet colors on this one @JoeH, or is that primer?

Looks like the Superliner Hydroseeder went for $45 K.  Not bad for a 35 year old truck...

Trash trucks and concrete pumps. Same here.  The CemenTech mixer on a conventional cab would be about 3 ft longer than the RD model in the background, which has a 228" wheelbase and steers like the Titanic.

Is the RD the formerly green tri-axle dump that you had posted about previously @JoeH?  Looks sharp!

Looks great @JoeH!  Make sure you post up some photos when it's completely outfitted.

I’m sure that you won’t encounter anything that you can’t handle @JoeH.  Probably some BMT members along the way that would help you out if needed.  I’d probably be more concerned about the weather and a light rear end with a bare chassis. 
 

Good luck with the mobile tech. Hopefully they will be able to find/resolve your issue quickly. Looking forward to to more photos once you get her backed out of the shop. 

Making progress @JoeH?  Are you planning on driving it out to get the Cenetech mixer installed?

I remember the Precourt Stone truck when it was new. I grew up in Sudbury and my Dad worked next door to Precourt at EH Perkins. Before the Scania they had a Mack MB. 

What do you think it would cost @Firemack as you've "been there/done that"?

Look familiar @DailyDiesel?  Still has the Suit Kote truck number on the bumper…  

Thank you for posting the find @mrsmackpaul!

So @hurstscrambler, made any more progress?  I’ve been meaning to ask for a while….

I seem to remember hearing about a fire too Bob, but I haven’t been out there since the late 90’s. Appears the location is branded as the “Historic Hoover Dam Lodge” now.

Thx- I was just thinking that getting th boom, dipper and bucket off as a unit would have to take a huge amount of weight off-which would lead to fewer tractors and axles?????

I know I’m late to the discussion, but I’m pretty confident that a mine that is running a hoe of that size knows their costs down to the pennies on a move like this.  Breaking down a machine to smaller loads/reassembly takes the machine out of production longer.  If you move it in one piece it’s ready to go to work as soon as it’s off the trailer. 

Here’s a start!

If everything comes together I'll be riding shotgun to the show with @Firemack in his former R.G. Smith MH with the Radnor Fire Company's 1954 B75F riding on the trailer.  Going to be a great day!

I just got a facebook reminder from ATCA old Truckin Nuts page so I guess its on

The ATCA post is what I have seen.  They held the show last year when there were more restrictions in place, so I'd be surprised if they weren't holding it this year.  Looks as if the person that maintained Gerhart's FaceBook page isn't with them any longer so I'm not surprised that it isn't updated...

Anyone heading to Gerhart's this weekend?  The weather looks as if it is going to be perfect!

318 Detroit, 13 sp riding on Hendrickson Extended leaf.  Aluminum everything and in damn nice shape 

Something new in the fleet Brad, or just something that you stumbled onto?

A rattle can of black paint and it will look factory!  
When I saw the title I panicked expecting to see a photo of the frame on your project truck. Glad to hear that it is only the mower. 

What are you bringing up from your stable Mike?

Looks like you’ve got yourself a convoy there Dusty!  
Looking forward to seeing everyone and their trucks Saturday. 
Dave

Yes there is!
