Gold bulldog TerraPro and a granite with some lights.

Do they make tandem axle air ride with that kind of rating?

There sure are a bunch of old Fords still making their owners money ,not bad  for a truck that was extint a decade ago

It’s a lot like old Macks in the northeast.

You can still get a mack with spokes.

Have you seen any new trucks with them in the past few years?

A classic combo: Mack and Heil.

This mixer could haul quite the payload with an empty weight of 24,960 lbs and gross of 72k.

Well I would agree with that too-but I would bet spokes are not even available as a regular production option today with all the class 7 and 8 builders.  Maybe 10 years ago here in NE you could always find in dealer inventory a new Mack speced for a heavy dump application with spokes.

Not so today.

Totally agree with you, Mack stopped over five years ago. When nycdot stopped using spokes that says something. Why Autocar would be smart to smart to offer them on their new dc, make them stand out from the crowd.

They look good on any vocational truck, new or old!

Wow, I gotta head to St. Louis!

I am a daily visitor to your website, we have very similar taste in trucks.

Please feel free to post pictures of newer Macks in your area that you find interesting.

Here is a picture of the cockpit.

looks like a 16ft body with about 25 ton of stone in it...but it could be a  less dense material.   Another  question : what rears/suspension are in the first one?  looks like it could be 50k

You are right, it is aggregate. Most trucks around here run either 46k or 52k rears. Rarely see anything with 58k or higher.

Threw in the other few granites I saw today. Never seen an all white republic truck, must be an inherited truck from an acquisition. For a national fleet republic has a nice livery.
