I grew up in Illinois during the 50's and 60's. Hendrickson's seemed to be almost as popular as Mack's in the construction business.

Thank the Loony left.

Mack heavy haul need not apply. Should be a fun day.

Beutious beasts.

Love the big tanks on the R's

They did have a big Autocar an AP-19 I believe. That unit pulled our retired many ton steam generators out of our Nuclear plant in Haddam Neck Ct. to a railroad siding in Portland Ct. If I remember right there was a Western Star pusher. Marino is still in Middletown Ct however it was bought out by Barnhart. Marino did a lot of work for Northeast Utilities( now Eversource). I saw the two Mack LRVSW's being painted by the Flannery brothers in Portland Ct. Barnhart still may still have one and the other one may have been sold.. I thought I read that one of them did some work in the Carribean islands. Autocar had big plans for the AP's but there production facilities just couldn't support manufacturing them unlike Mack with the LR and M models. Then the dumb asses sold out to White. White never pursued the AP's as far as I know.

That Marino LRVSW was painted Marino colors about 20 years ago in Portland Ct. Actually there were two of them being painted.

Paul: You'll see her again on the other side. .

Another example of China buying/stealing the west's technology then kicks the investor to the curb.

BCR: That B in the junk yard looks like a Celli. If so what a find.

237 maxidyne?

Paccar killer Love that style front bumper

Doesn't somebody still have the rights to the diamond reo name. Volvo , Oterland or T-Line.

Bye bye MR/LE.

How hard could it be to change a hood. Not very hard or costly.

Jbulldog: We are waiting for the answer to KS's question. Would be nice to ear from the horses mouth(Weissburg)

62- That's funny

Roadway ran a lot of Detroit's in the Mack's. I am wondering how many Econodynes they ran. About that time they dropped Macks and went mostly to Whites and Shakers if I remember right. That looks like a +3 cab. Not sure when the +3 came about. Mack never did learn from past mistakes when it came to cab sizes. +3 on R models and +4 on CH's. Not sure if the U models had +3. I would guess the DM's did.

Didn't know that Nashua lasted that long. Did they have U models also? Whites Fords etc.?

Our light weight trucks as in Volvo and the Chicomms

Awesome trucks from highway to heavy haul

Didn't know the Brits made trucks anymore.

Should put a Western Star badge on it.

Won't last long.

Thought they had some R tractors also.
