    BCR way to take control those Paccars were making me ill, although that green Pete with the old style can was pretty cool.

    The Cruiseliner was the replacement for the F-Model. F-Models were all over the place. It seemed that the cruiseliners had good initial sales but then dropped off like a rock. Initial orders for west coast fleets PIE IML ONC etc. seemed to be pretty good but they never gained traction like KW, Pete and Freightliner. The Last version before the MH seemed to be a good looking vehicle. What were the problems with the cruiseliners. There still is a fleet of nice black ones out in Wisconsin.

    Always loved those blue and grey overnite F's and R's. Never liked the White W's. They bought a few CH's but that was the last of the Macks.

    I didn't know O & G still had any Macks left. They used to have a beautiful Mack fleet. Now Paccar. Like the white color better than the gold. Butler used to have some DM 800's and A-Cars. Maybe they are scattered around out back.

    I'll bet if they brought the Titan and Superliner over here Volvo sales would plummet and Mack sales would soar digging into IH/Freightliner and especially Paccar.

    They put the wheels on the wrong side of that equipment.

    All I ever see on 95 are Peterbilt tractors for Gateway until this morning. A beautiful blast from the past a red R model tractor and dump trailer. Very nice.

    KS why don't they send somebody from Mack Australia over here to incorporate their models into the US line up. Their superliner/trident and titan look better than the CH and US Titan IMHO. At least offer the Australian bonnets(hoods).

    BCR have you come accross old celli photos for posting. I thought you had taken pictures of pictures at some time. I saw the B-75 and f model in the die cast thread. Thanks

    Who do you guys think made the best construction truck Mack or Autocar back in the day. Consider components, rugedness,frames,axels etc. Hendricksons and Brockways are also welcome. Sorry Paccar you don't count.

    Rawhide kicks paccars ass in in potential. Lets see them kick ass in sales.

    Marquardt? Trucks are located in Waterford CT. The owner runs a 2 stack Mack CH. They are about an equal mix of Petes and Macks. There latest purchase as far as I know was a W-900. Are there any Tilcon photos of their V-8 DM 800's and their DM 600's (the high cabs) I still see some from time to time as they were all purchased by local second hand contractors. They had a V-8 at the wallin ford quarry a while back. Saw one of their high DM's on Ct 372 a while back.

    Seems as though Palumbo still has about four pits. Maybee they rely on more owner operators rather than using their own trucks. Those RD 800's are awsome. Are they just used as site trucks.
  14. james j neiweem
    Barry is trucking news dead or are you stuck on that cruise ship. LOL
  15. james j neiweem
    Is Palumbo still in business.
  16. james j neiweem
    I'll bet that got a workout after the snowstorm.
  17. james j neiweem
    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.

    Thanks 386

    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.
  21. james j neiweem
    Does anybody remember what recent thread had the pictures of the New England snow storm of 1978.
  22. james j neiweem
    Good job as usual BCR. Nice RS. Best looking truck ever made.
  23. james j neiweem
    Do they use petercrappers also?
  24. james j neiweem
    Is that an Autocar or a Mack?
  25. 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.
