Popular Post PeterMack Posted September 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2014 I had posted a picture of this AC awhile back. The owner passed away this year and the truck went up for auction and Ploteended up with the truck and it looks like they have re-lettered it in their Beverly Gravel lettering. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nobody454 Posted September 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2014 we were at the auction where dan plote bought that one. was between dan and the guy who owns alliance contractors (I think). I don't think the price mattered to dan, he was going home with that truck no matter what 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackdaddy2030 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Tom was saying that the guy that bought his truck was gonna repaint it or something like that. It's a shame. That is history. But I guess people in GA wouldn't really care about the Chicago background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdogtrucker Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The guy who bought it did so because of the originality/history of it...That said he fell off the planet last spring and i'm not even sure if he still has it or what's going on??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PeterMack Posted September 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2014 On today's adventure I saw Christensen's twin stack RD that was a former Bastone truck. Would look nice cleaned up butI won't hold my breath for that. Saw a D construction Granite pulling a belly dump, and I got a blurry shot of a cool needlenose butterfly hood KW. I've seen this guy 20 times before but always going the other way. He is pulling some sort of blowertrailer for mulch. I think he out out of Homer Glen or some place down that way. I heard the truck has an N-14 in it. Cool truckthat I need a better picture of. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one is an old Celli RB,now CTC. The second is the City of Loves Park Mack fire engine at CIT. Their Mack ladder truck was there also but for some reason I did not take a picture of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew he was down that way somewhere.The cast radiator/butterfly hood, looks like one off a Canadian KW.Fenders & headlights look Petercar to me.Shutters look kinda "Starkish" LOL!I think your right on the Canadian KW. I've never seen one in person and it was tough to find any pictures of them on the net.Must be somewhat rare. I was able to find a small picture of a very similar KW.

Maybe very similar trucks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PeterMack Posted September 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2014 Saw a few "D" Const trucks today.

rsb502 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 How much can you guys gross on those daycabs and short dumps up there?

Mackdaddy2030 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Storkmack, are you going to the antique tractor show up at Union Grove this weekend?I guess Allis Chalmers is the special attraction this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackdaddy2030 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I think TKT is some kind of offshoot of "D"As for the gross on our shortys, I think it's like 68,000 if you don't have the SHV, special haul vehicle. That SHV legally gets you to 72,000, but pits let you out up to 73,280 and most cops usually let you by with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackdaddy2030 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 When I start hauling fertilizer I'll be in Joliet three times a day so I'll try and keep my eye out for the R and RD "D" trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
