Da cut,we had over 150 trucks running on that job every day.Had to buy those trucks cause the jersey independent truckers tried to hold dad hostage for more money,after we started the job and they agreed on the price per ton going into the job.You can stop in any time and see my trucks,I have them in our old shop,it in Philadelphia.Here a few pictures of them.

No sweeter sound then a Mack V8.Had a few in my day the last was in a 98 CL700,one of the last mechanical ones Mack built.Had that pump turn all the way up,pulled like a bitch and smoke like a locomotive.

Yes,we had a big sewer plant job here in Philadelphia to do.Million or so Yds. Of incinerator waste to truck over to the landfills of nj.We ordered the r models and the dm’s first,but we had to wait for the r model so dad not wanting to waste anytime had the dealer find him some trucks fast.Our dealer was Trenton Mack at the time and they came up the 10 u models that were ordered by one of the leasing company and canceled the order so dad brought them.All of the tractors pulled Benson dump trailers that were custom built.The u model were a little lite for us,they could only top out at about 85,000.Now the r models we spec them out heavy,so they could carry some weight.I remember going over the Walt Whitman bridge grossing over 110,000.We had a scale on the job so every truck got weighed.The independent truckers ran by the ton.After the job we got rid of all of the u models.Still have one of the r models it only has 73,000 miles on it.

Great story.I have been working on the 56 ford f600 here lately.

I always like to ask them how is it having sex with the farm animals,that’s get them going

If the hubcaps are still available I”ll take them.I am in Philadelphia,pa get me a quote for shipping.Tks Mike Durkin

Tks, saw that.

That’s what I was afraid of little past the limits.

I am looking to lift the 335 Cummins out of my b87,using a 1 ton capacity grants crane.Yes or no or am I just plain stupid.

Can’t say the same for our governor here in Pa.I think it’s going to be a while before he opens up much of anything.Can’t understand why all construction work had to stop.Pendot is opening up some jobs,how about all the new home construction.There is a new development going in not far from me,price tag is 7-8 hundred thousand.There are some homes just framed up that have been out in the weather now for 6 weeks.How would like that buy one of them.Put the workers back to work now.

The gallon of fast etch I ordered on Thursday for $11.00 shipping just showed up at the front door.I don’t think that was all that bad.Hell you can’t restore these truck for nothing.

Yes,but leave the wallet and credit cards at home.It been a while since I’ve been there,it a little small but if your are looking for restoration tools and supplies it’s the place to go.Now TP tools is really worth it.It to been sometime since I been there but with the restored cars they have on display.Thats about a 6 hour ride for me.

I just ordered a gallon of fast etch from Eastwood and the shipping was only $11.00.Now I only live about 45-60 minute from them but with the tolls on the pa pike and gas it’s cheaper just to ship it.

Not a problem.Tks

I am looking for the floor layout for these trucks.My floor in my b87 is not all that bad but I have another cab from a b81 that has an excellent floor.Would like to replace a couple of the panels and door sills.Would like to know how they are all tried togather.Tks.

I had gulfway for years and had no problem.Then I went to my auto and home girl and she has me with Hagerty.

Happy Easter

Looks great,would like to see the shirt when you get it.

I would like to see some up close pic of the floor of any b81-87 trucks.I am in Philadelphia,pa sp if they ar3 close would love to come see for myself.I am doing my b87 over,the cab is in excellent condition,was rebuilt many many years ago,always stored inside.Just want to make sure it’s original.Tks

How much aid to we give India every year? Stop the aid and you will see how much of the drug we get,it just like every other country we give aid to and then I think that most of them vote against us when the UN has a vote.

My b873sx has the same ratio and I got clocked on radar by a pa state trooper at 70mph,with a cat d9 on the lowboy.

Always wanted a 1956 ford f600,finally found one when I was out in Montana with the wife for a little vacation.We live in pa.

Thanks.I will get my son to check the numbers out,he is the tire salesman for the company that is also the Mack dealer.

Looking for the paint code for the tan interior of my 79 r model.Since I”m home not working thought I”ld freshen up the old dog.
