vision386 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Do any of you guys remember a restored metallic brown B-Model integral sleeper that was at Englishtown occasionally? I think it was from NYC maybe L.I. it had a mural of itself painted on the back of the sleeper? I only saw it once or twice and never again,i always regretted I never got a picture of it.................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

earthmover Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Well I listed my Jersey spec'd Mack RD dump on Craigslist a few days ago. The reason im selling is to buy a tri axle. With all the praise I hear about Allison's I may try to find one with an automatic. Is there any years I should avoid?I figured I would link the ad in case any Jersey guys were interested.http://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/4429373136.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REEL ADDICTION Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 i would not buy any truck from 08 till 11 H&H Mack in Rockaway has 3 new granite triaxles with bodies just waiting for you to go pick one out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthmover Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks for the info on the 08 to 11's. I wish I could buy a new truck. I just don't think I could justify the price tag of a new one. I still may stop at H&H to browse maybe they will be able to find something. My biggest concern going with an automatic is towing with one and not having enough control. How are the automatics towing a tag trailer? Have to ever had a 160 sized machine behind yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REEL ADDICTION Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 not a 160 but a 138 not a problem all my automatics have pindle hooks and have no problem towing the only thing that sucks is my triaxle with the 20 ton trailer is just aslong as my tractor hooked up to the 35 ton low boy trailer but u get use to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthmover Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 That's good to hear. I can't find a reason not to look for an auto truck. The turning radius is one thing I will miss with the tandem but everyone always wants tri axles anymore. If I'm not using the truck for myself I want out to go to work for someone else instead of sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthmover Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Well my truck sold Thursday 4 days after listing it. Now I need to start looking hard for a tri axle. If anyone knows of any automatic tri's in Jersey let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
