    Thats why there were so many Whites sold. They were the best of the cheapos

    Shewerman back in the day ran black and white with red stripe tractors. They ran B-61's then R's and white 4000's. They had a terminal up in Wisconsin. Later on I believe they ran IH's.

    Got 24 inches in east hampton ct. Gave the Airens a workout. An R with a plow would be nice. I have 130,000 on a 6.0 2005 f-250 but boy do I baby the heck out of it. Didn't realize injectors were $380 a pop or I would have never have bought this truck. My old 6.9s were about $12 bucks a pop.

    Does anybody remember what recent thread had the pictures of the New England snow storm of 1978.

    Good job as usual BCR. Nice RS. Best looking truck ever made.

    Do they use petercrappers also?
  8. james j neiweem
    Is that an Autocar or a Mack?
  9. james j neiweem
    Maybe some American company can buy volvo truck and Mack and then dump volvo and bring back A-Car. Wishfull thinking of course.

    Nothing better than a fleet of brand new B's
  11. james j neiweem
    Like those B model plows. Those DM's may be White Oak (only a guess) I think they numbered there trucks on the grill guard like that. Numbers seem to be close.
  12. james j neiweem
    As I remember Mutrie also had a number of White 4000's
  13. james j neiweem
    Green and white R models. Remember them well. B models and White 4000's also.

    Talk about crashing through the barn door 100 yards away.

    Vision 386. I feel your pain but don't get overly bent out of shape- over one Hank's site pissant contributor Mr. S---K. 99% of their contributors are decent sorts as far as I can tell.

    I believe that Chicago cab also made the B model cab which also somewhat looked like the IH KB and the Reo cabs and studebacker for that matter.

    BCR Another Illinois when I was a kid story. I never saw the Olson of Greenbay R/BCR Macks. What I used to see were a few GMC cannonball's and a ton of cracker boxes with the 6v-53 or 8v-53's detroits.They definately had a unique sound. Kind of quiet. Not like the 71 series at all. There colors used to be maroon and yellow. There was also another Olson that used to come down from Wisconsin They were all IH's with the 549 V-8 gasers. Their colors were orange with black trim.

    Seems like the Illinois truck manufacturers IH/Diamond-T/Hendrickson shared alot of components and technology.

    fullfuel01 Just saw that myself. You beat me to it. Good detective work

    As has been said volvos and Macks share many common parts. With that in mind I see very few fleets that use both volvos and Macks. You would think there would be more of them. I remember in a Bulldog magazine they featured Duie Pyle and were hoping for a long relationship in the future. Ever since that article Duie has gone freightliner and volvo. Volvo must have pulled the rug out from under Mack in this instance. I see a few big fleets that have newer volvos will have Macks but they are usually second hand CH 600's (yellow/New Penn for instance)

    They called the original mack H model (H-61) the cherry picker because it was so high. Later on they dropped the heigth by about a foot (H-67). At the now defunct (unfortunately) truck museum in Connecticut I stood next to an IH cabover DC 405? (before the emeryville). The one that had the little IH comfort cab on top( same as r-190 cab). This thing was tall. I'm guessing maybee higher than the cherry picker. It was dark blue as I remember. There was also a KW bullnose (light blue) there and the IH was definately higher.
  22. james j neiweem
    I believe Mason Dixon had a bunch of big rad B-65's or 67's
  23. james j neiweem
    I believe FWD and Sicard also used the IH comfort cab.
  24. james j neiweem
    Superdog. I agree with you with the Granite VS T 800. However here in Ct it seems that Mack just can't make much headway into Paccar domination. Gateway/Tilcon/O&G/Rawson/American/Suzio. I guess we will see what happens when the Paccars get to the end of there life cycle. I am sure they will not have second lives the way the old Macks had.
  25. james j neiweem
    I believe suzio still runs R Model tractors with dump trailers (maybe 3 or 4). After retiring their DM 800's (#45) they bought a few pete tri axle dumps. I believe there newest tri axles are KW.
