Elizabeth,NJ..............................................MarkLook at what all that epa crap mounted on the frame rails did to that wheelbase. It must be fun delivering to northeast supermarkets with that. Pitt Ohio has a multi-section air tank mounted vertically behind the cab and went with a smaller fuel tank on the side with the def tank to keep the wheelbase to a reasonable length.

Chuck P Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Vision 386, if you didn't have modern cars parked in the lot I wouldn't have believed you. That is a holdover from the old days and I remember them fondly. 1 Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

Popular Post Chuck P Posted January 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2013 Although they were based in Philly, they had a lot of stores in Jersey. When I was a kid I used to help my dad unload these old Macks at his store in Nixon, NJ. All of the merchandise was stacked loose on pallets and had to be unloaded by hand with roller conveyors (remember those). You couldn't do that now, it would take too long. 3 Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

I checked their website and found this little tidbit."The company was sold to Mr. Randall Worthington around 1923, and continued as a 1 to 2 truck operation. In 1935, due to the enactment of the "Motor Carrier Act", Campbell's Auto Express received its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. The ICC 109 that it received is one of the lowest certificates still in existence."I thought that was pretty cool how a small family run business can survive so long. 3 Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

Maddog13407 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 that Speed B model is sweet. looks like it came right out of the 60'swith the old school reflectors and signal lights. looks to be a B68 or B60 with just a thermodyne overhead gasser in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicrop10 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 That red DM that belongs to English Paving looks to be a twin to the ones we had back in the late 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
