Chicago R models


Recommended Posts

usually when we wreck a house, the company truck takes the scrap. This last house, the boss had me take it in...he wasn't happy when he figured out the check I brought back was less than he paid me to take it there. hardly worth separating it at this point.

I was at Shanklin's a couple weeks ago and took these pics.

Can't remember the name of the company with the red RD. I took a picture of a picture lol

Then a cool local First Gear R model

And orange and white Lowe truck was just traded in while I was a there. Might be the same as the one above. Not sure how many RDs they had. They bought an '07 CXP day cab. I guess they made those at the end of '07 and it had a MP7, but without emmisions.

I was in Jacsonville FL today and stopped by a dealer to check out a Superliner and found these three gems from Chicago. 1 '96 and 2 '00 RDs from Marina Cartage. They were in really rough shape. One even had a hole through the floor. I never found out how many miles they had on them, but they wanted $15,999 for the '00. You can still see the name and phone number on the doors if you look just right. And you can tell one of them was orange at one time so idk who's it was originally. They said they got them from an auction in GA.

Check out the custom "ram air" exhaust on the one truck.

And here I thought I wouldn't have any pictures from down here to post to the Chicago thread, lol

I'm gonna guess and say that the one that had Orange paint also had 24.5 tires. There was an outfit that hauled garbage that had 2 tone orange and yellow Macks that I believe Marnia bought out. I cant remember what there name was, but I remember seeing there trucks at Chicago Mack down on Archer ave.

When I was a kid it was always fun to go down there and look at used trucks. Barberra, Carry, Bulkmatic to name a few. Dad bought some old Carry trucks over the years from a fella named George Risckus. They hooked us up with a "body shop" to paint an R Dad had bought. We went to go get it and it was the wrong Orange and the wrong stripes, not a problem they said, we can fix it.
