l've tried both Chippewas and Carolinas made in the USA logger style boots. The Redwing sales man said that they were the cowboy boot of the Northeast! Never got much more than a year out of them before l rolled them over. The ones l get now are Redwing  1412 and they last almost three years with the wide flat heel. Made in the USA for about $300.00.    .....Hippy

Damn, we wear the same RedWing’s.

I found it on truck paper I was always a fan of the MB

I thought it would be neat as sh*t to run material out of the pit with it. 

This is crazy, I was bidding on this truck awhile back.   Then to see you post pics of it that show that it ended up with a mutual acquaintance in our neighborhood.  Must be something in the water out here.    

I have looked at lot of trucks from out there on the Left Coast, I’m too cheap to pay the Frieght back to the Island of Socialism that is Illinois.   

That Pete looks sweet.   The key is the interior, it’s the hardest thing to fix and make right again.  

We have a Vibco on the aggregate batcher at the plant.  

We have used them a time or two.   They have a GMC General also

I'm relatively certain these are Hallibruton Mack's.  There was one, many years ago, in Garrett, IN that I tried to make an offer on.  If they are Hallibruton then they should be Cummins powered. 

I agree with you here.  We have few in our area also.

Do the same with a truck if drivers didn't set out to destroy them from day one, could never understand why they need carve  their name on everything, or drill 20 holes to mount one radio and stickers all over the dash ??????? like why does a driver need a convex mirror inside the cab  ??

I’m sure you have seen some of the same crazy shit I have.   Never ceases to amaze me.   

We are batching today, get up here with those Binders and back under the boot!

Love it!

Thanks!  It would only be a 973.3 mile drive in the country.  Just be careful at the sharp corners on Rt 90 in Cleveland where Rt 2 junctions.

We are always careful!

I could use the telebelt!

We can help you with the Belt, but it would be a bit of a drive for us.   

That style of fuel tanks are on our mixers

Looks like Arnold Ready has a few old gems.

Trying to remember I know there not there anymore where was Chicago power steering. The sold and rebuilt  p/s pumps .off king drive wasn't it

I remember going down there with my Dad when I was a kid.   So long ago, that I don’t remember where they were, but I do remember the name.   

No offense to ours neighbors to the south, but the iron looks a bit tired down that way.   

Too sad to have it come to that.

almost looks like they put the H cab on a newer chassis

 

My guess would be a CruiseLiner

Any back story on Wolfmeier?  Judging by these pics they do a little bit everything with some older iron.

I know the guy that ended up with the eagle truck.   He was trying to sell it the last I knew.

Storkmack,

Did you get to see this bus? He said stepwell was rotten clear out but he dug around and found all the door linkage. All windows in place, seats not ripped up and Hemi engine with  all parts still in place. Serial number  B30B1032. There were 33 of the B30B built. This one is titled 1960. Last one was built 1961 but that does not mean this unit was next to last one built.

 He is planning on having it at Springfield show this year. We are trying to plan pictures with the bus on the hook of the old dragging wagon.

He never called me back to set up a time to view it.

I called about that bus spoke with the guy that owned.   He was supposed to call me back when his schedule opened up.   Never heard from him again.
