T & W Towing LLC rtnospeodS3i,cc7787076tfc4 m fm42h6olui130a692h2t6r6ce5O30tb · Today we were a part of something very cool! It’s pretty rare we sell equipment, let alone sell it to the original owner! Our off road truck was custom built as a Glider in 1980 by the gentleman in the photo. Custom suspension, 13 speed transmission, 400 Big Cam Cummins, tool boxes, and every option available for a Holmes 750 at the time. In its day it was a beast of a wrecker, and would have been considered a show truck! We were contacted by Arnie two days ago and informed he has been chasing this truck since around 1987, when he sold it and regretted it a few months later. He followed it from Illinois, to Iowa, North Dakota, Minnesota, back into Iowa, and finally to us. He said he had heard the same thing a few times over the years: “Sorry, we JUST sold that truck minutes ago!” Since we purchased our winch box and excavator we rarely use this truck, so we made a deal to sell this truck back to him! One of the happiest looks on his face when he realized even the key ring was still original bearing his companies logo! This truck is going to be completely restored, and will no longer spend any days outside! Sad to see it go but VERY happy to be a part of a story like this! Congrats Arnie on the return of your original Truck #1! We hope to see it when it’s completely redone!

Yeah there are quite a few here. I know a lot of exporters that have them, but that engine weighs about 2,500 pounds complete. I can't imagine freight would be anything like cheap

"They Were Just Having FUN Watching The Cars Burn"

Just build something like this on an old flatbed trailer. Probably be best to use a side frame so the trap doors can be larger -

How much did it consume? I had a DM600 roll off truck that burned, leaked. and had blowby. I had to carry a 5 gallon bucket of oil in the cab on the passenger side. It finally gave up one day about 5 miles from home. It had been using oil like that for about 6 months. I put a Mack Pedigree in it. They were only about 7500 at the time

It's defiantly not rioting.

I'm just about an hour north of Macungie and the rain here seems like it hasn't let up for months. The outlet of my drain tile that is under my upper yard is flowing like crazy, and I had to put a pump in the shop because the floor kept flooding. I've been here 10 years, and I've never had a water problem like this

I worked quite a few in the refineries back in the day, but somehow the way she presents it makes it look like more fun than I remember them being

TransAxle was acquired by Dallas-based private equity firm Crossplane Capital in 2020. I remember when they were fairly new back in the early 80's. There was an Italian guy (born in Italy) that ran the rebuilding shop, he was really smart. That being said, I never much cared for the sales guys and management. I did buy a lot of stuff from them though, they had a lot of stock, and Cinnaminson was only like 20 minutes away from me

Just go see Mustafa the brake drum maker. Take him the old one and he'll hook you right up.

1970 R model
Joseph Cummings replied to Al and son's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I think that floorboard section was the same for all R Models, even the 66 to 68 with the clutch pedal went down through the floor. -
