    Just a reminder to the local guys, or anybody really, Maggio's truck show is this Saturday. Baxter Rd & I-39 Rockford.

    9am to 3pm. Bring a truck, old, new it doesn't matter, its just for fun. Looks like the weather will be good. If you can't

    bring a truck, just bring yourself.

    Brian, Hope to see you there.      Jake

  2. Another view: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.965531,-93.201109,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1s116394108!2e1!3e10!6s%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2Fproxy%2FkjJgOsc3rETpyTE4ghk-P5tOjY9GZGuxWBkOH0YBZxgq1zHFaMdsTT-tBMBOnoOr3pX5X6Ed27GOR9617nnA2wn9lqblxYU%3Dw208-h100!7i3502!8i1678

    The dealership moved to a new facility a couple miles away in the early 70s. The parking lot on the left used to be a great bar and grille, was our Teamster Union hangout back when one of the Business Agent's wife worked there.

    Thanks Teamstergrrrl for the post. I see the chimney is gone. That used to have MACK on it too. I used to drive out of a terminal just a couple of blocks up University Ave. The bar was the Cromwell. I spent some time in there too. Jake

  3. A few more years of production would have been nice.

    I suppose Mack wanted to have production based on their flagship B model. At least they added the B with L series cab to satisfy customer demand.

    I had my LTL at the ATHS show in Rochester, Mn when a gentelman came over to look it over. He told me that he drove the last new LT off the lot at the Denver,Co Mack dealer in 1957. He said his boss needed a truck bad and the salesman gave him a great deal because they were pushing sales of the B Model.
