  1. I was wondering when Bobby was going to bring the B81 out. Rob
  2. The White is cool. A rare bird.
  3. I will be there on Saturday with my son. Rob
  4. Ahhh the Argyle. Still go there from time to time. Rob
  5. Ditto on the S Series
  6. I bet that Komatsu was a beast. Rob
  7. I drove one of these it's basically the seven speed with an extra gear in the low end and then a five speed in direct. The other eight speed is the b version I believe that has the shiftable reverse which a lot of mixers by me came in with. Rob
  8. Maybe. I guess the loader never really gets too close to the cab with the bodies being 19 plus ft. Rob
  9. The B81 was owned by Murray Paving. They use to park in the same yard as us in Mahwah, NJ. When the producer was looking for trucks for the movie he went to Hudson County Motors in Secaucus and they hooked him up with all of the Autocars as the producer liked the look of them. The two red DK Mike Jost Autocars is a friend of ours and also used to park in Mahwah. The B81 was sold to the producer and wound up down in North Carolina for another movie.If you saw Die Hard in the movies the construction scene where Bruce Willis gets into the B81 Iron Horses DM 800 from Oakland NJ goes by with about 30 yards on the truck. It doesn't show up in the dvd I guess with screen formatting it is deleted. The kid who used to drive the B81 had to lay on the floor to shift the quad box in some of the scenes as the union stage drivers couldn't drive the truck. Rob.
  10. I know someone that wants one just like that. If you know of any in your area let me know. Rob
  11. There is a scene in one of the episodes of the Sopranos with them dumping asbestos in the Meadowlands with a unmarked green and silver body RD tandem. If you guys find the old thread of the B81 ferom Die Hard I have some interesting stiries about the trucks in the movie. Rob
  12. It always seems to grind from 4th high to 5th low. Rob
