A friend passed these along to me the other day. He saw them all lined up at Ritche bros. in Morris. If I had to guess they are all going for a boat ride. Not sure where the big blue six wheeler is headed.

I spent Monday night at the Flying J in Lake Station In and I saw the Ch and r models parked there and on Thursday I was headed out to Portage In and saw both sets headed east on In toll road.

I must have just missed you at the Flying J. I rolled in there around 9 A.M. Wed morning and both sets of piggybacked R models were still parked over by the truck wash. they did not look all that bad but I did notice a huge oil leak on one.

Saw this long R model sitting in Crystal Lake. I'm thinking yank the flatbed off and put a fifth wheel on it and have an extra long WB R-model.....just saying, might be cool.

Occasionally I like to showcase some of the junk that is running around our area. These trucks caught my eye in the last couple months. I'm sure the drivers on this forum will spot the issues these guys were having. Can't believe these guys don't get stopped.

That's just the tip of the ice berg.yourself just like me see a TON  of shit trucks tailgates leaking spread pans full of stone or clay.  Mostly the new breed of dba  mbe rate cutting clowns  we gotta be on the roads  with. I personally love the ones who letter the name on the door with a sharpe marker.class act.the new breed  the pits love well gotta do my walk around  and make sure  everything  works so I can get stopped for a license plate out:angry:

Saw this R-model about a month ago at 47th st and Central ave in Forest View/Chicago. Old school. Could have taken that picture 30 years ago and it probably would have looked about the same.
