Chicago R models


Recommended Posts

Was over at Smith Specialized Hauling yesterday and saw this, I think Navy, Granite. It's an '08 and must have been a hybrid test vehicle. I one just like this on Truck Paper a few months ago for sale. Think this might be the same won. I guess the owner of Specialized's brother bought at an auction. Engine and dash panel have been taken out. My friend told me it supposedly only had 2 miles on it. Looks like it has a Volvo Idrive gear selector in it and I'm guessing that is an Mride suspension.

Here is #68. About as close as you will get to a new 98' CH. Picked it up a year ago from a company in Sussex WI that had just done the motor, trans and both rears at Milwaukee Mack. They were getting rid of it beacause their bean counters said it was the next oldest truck, so get it gone. We stripped it down to the frame rails, new hood, doors, back wall, cab floor, bumper, grille, and just about anything that could come off or go bad. E7 350, Mack 9 sp, Mack rears . We have a set back CH coming in next. I will try to get more pics through the whole process on the next one.

I think that might be the way to go to avoid the emmisions stuff. Sweet ride!!!!
