Excellent shots RFC, Keep them coming. I really like the Scott Baker R-700. It's the first I've seen it since it was repainted. If I remember correctly, he told me it was an ex-Barclay unit.

Ok here is John Mauros RD688SX taken at Englishtown in 91?. Pictures do not do this truck justice. This truck was badass. Reel Addiction would know John and his trucks. I will post other pics of his trucks that I have. This truck was ordered new from Cambria Mack it had a 350 w/ Dynatard(which John took off and put a Jake on), two stick 12 speed, 20 front, 58 rears, 11r24 rubber. It has a level two interior with added upholstery two high back National seats, chrome snap rings on front wheels and chromed rear center cones. Story is this truck was a lemon with rears and transmissions but the reality is John had a lot of fuel going through the pump and the truck ran like a raped ape. The body was a Bristol Donald heavy with a 12 panel 3/8's gate. This truck was sold to Spina Paving in Ridgefield and then it wound up at Gallen Contracting in Hackensack. Tha's when John started working his B81 for a while before he bought Gennaros Autocar.

Cheers, Rob

No unfortunately that 's the only pics I have of that truck. I think after that he was only showing his B81 to shows and I didn't really work with him that much until later on when I worked for Leslie Demarino and we were all running for Twin Eagle and John had the 87 Autocar that he bought from Gennaro. After that he bought the Western Star which was a nice truck too. Glenn Hammet from West Milford NJ has that truck now.

More of John Mauro as BKrois has a nice pic. The B81 had a 300 plus in it with Dynatard, Quad box. 55 or 58 rears. The body was a R And S. He worked this truck after he sold the RD.

Cheers, Rob

Very typical North Jersey dump! from "back in the day"! thats a great looking B-81,i remember seeing it,but think it was gone before i could get a good picture.....................................Mark
