Bad thing is they present it in such a way that when they are called on the carpet about it in a court of law, it`s tough to prosecute them..

If rotting in field counts I will be busy!

Absolutely...

OK, seeing what happened involving pictures used on this site, I started to think. (No easy task for me sometimes,) anyway, My challange to all of you is to get out there and take as many pictures as you can, Truck Shows, old iron on the job, hulks rusting in a field, shoot them all. They are`nt going to be around forever, that R Model you took a picture of today might be gone next week. Take a bunch and lets see what we get...

The big change for Mack, Especially in the northeast is when they started losing ground in the fleet area. A good number of private haulers, grocery stores, petroleum carriers, Regional LTL runners, tank lines like Matlack, started going to Freightliner and such for fleet trucks. Mack held the vocational field but some of the fleet markets were gone for good..

Man, somebody better get down to Grandview to that dirt track and see if there's a U model there. Thanks for the info Mike.

I used to go to Grandview..hasnt been there in years.

It must have left one hell of a "shadow" where it proudly was displayed for 40+ years ? I talked to a guy,Jerry Warmkessel,at MATS a couple of years back.He said at that time, the bulldog was to stay on the building and it would always be known as "The Building".Guess things must have changed,huh? A buddy of mine bought a picture from Bob Johnson a couple of years ago at Macungie, of a J.(Joe)H. Beers B model dump,putting fill around the then new HQ building.I keep buggin' him about the whereabouts of that picture!! It was cool,no sidewalks poured yet.But the B model was loaded, and in the background was the !

I`d like to see that, I grew up a few blocks from JH Beers, he was a friend of my Dads..

The Paccars would pass us on the flat on I 78 heading east to NYC in Jersey.., but when we hit Jugtown Mountain we would just walk on by em....

Well Damn..heres to Miller and Sons, the only pic I have of them..

Did Miller and sons go under???

Awesome, the R was IMHO the best Class 8 ever built..Dad kept a piece of plywood custom cut to put between the seats for just such an emergency..

I thought they drove Road boss's ?

They did, but I have seen a few R`s for Schwerman..I think theres a photo of one on Hanks but I will refrain from posting it here...

Looks like al old Schwerman Services tractor

BULLHUSK

I remember Schwerman as white over black..then all white..

In the first Gulf go around we pretty much knew everything in front was a bad guy so the ROE was pretty loose..things are way different in Iraq and Afganistan. Once again we are trying to run the war from a desk..

Thing is that every other Mack I saw on Nassau was in top shape..Mostly MR`s CH`s and DM`s but they were in great shape..

That Hightstown R-model is real close to me. It's got MG plates which means it's a township or county truck.

It sits behind the Hightstown Police building..

That M Prime mover is really cool.

that would be sweet. would like to see it myself. are any of the old assembly line buildings still standing where the B's were made?

There`s still quite a few buildings standing from the old plant. Some still have the old IM logos on them..

Is it me or isn't the Rob Marino thats in charge of the resto a little too spastic? I enjoy the show American trucker, but wished they talk more with the guys restoring the rigs like the bj and the bear episode. That jumping around and over stating the obvious on and on kills the show for me. just my thoughts

Yeah he is a bit of a tool at times...

Rich that truck belong to us many years ago.It was in far better shape that it's in now.

I wondered if it did Mike, thats why i put it up there..
