Brocky, You have a point to some degree, but I would bet it was not much of an offset. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/116/#findComment-594371 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi/Ho had to have a fleet of tri axles better then O&G , since their fleet made the Mack calendar and O& G fleet didn't ; the cost was trivial for them. New England Mack country was different back then. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/116/#findComment-594481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted Monday at 06:25 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:25 PM I understand there was some bad blood over that calendar photo. I can’t remember what black dog was talking about. He did mention something about it. I’m sure he will explain. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/116/#findComment-594484 Share on other sites More sharing options...

O&G // HI HO both big players back in the day. around same time both construction companies bought a FLEET of tri axles. O&G were gold/cabs alum bodies. Hi Ho green cabs alum bodies, not positive on numbers for each fleet. guess maybe 15== 20 per. it was an unheard of things back then. companies may buy 2 or 3 ;;; not 10 or more., when the calendar for that year came out Hi Ho made the cut ;;;!! not O&G ;; which for years was a mainly Mack fleet. due to a calendar (and other hostile things) O&G "said "take your Macks and shove them!! back in mid 70's I delivered O&G triaxles 356===376 , that was first batch before the calendar issue. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/116/#findComment-594596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
