j hancock Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Jim,probably thinking of Kenneth Levari & Sons Trucking,they have been a long time Mack user,and have a lot of both dumps and pnuematic trailers,still looking,but i do have some better pictures,just gotta locate them!..........................MarkNice Rig!I don't recognize that name but could be it. It has only been since 1988 since I was done that way? My recollection is that the building had the look of an old time car dealership which the truck company took over.Talked to the owner for a while and he was telling me how Chalmers rubber block suspension was the best thing he had ever run on his dump trailers. He then bought some pneumatics brand new and had Heil put the Chalmers blocks in them and almost destroyed them when running empty. Before the new Heil's become total junk, he sent them off to have Neway air installed.To this day, it amazes me how different NJ is from north to south! 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Popular Post RFCDrum Posted February 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2013 Truck I drove for Leslie years ago. Former FA Marchello truck. 350, 8LL, 58 rears, 18 front, six panel tailgate Bristol Donald, straight pipe into body. Had high ratio rears in it. 4 somethings it would do 76 miles an hour too fast for a tandem especially heavy with a load of fill on. R Verneri from Franklin Lakes bought this back in 2000.

RFCDrum Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yea she's a mutt. It was a built truck. It had the bones we were looking for. We're calling it a 1978. The chassis is probably a little older. It had a positive ground chassis with a negative ground cab on it. I got the truck and a spare tandem R Model tractor for parts for 12 grand. I probably have 7 to 8 into her. Right now she's off the road it needs a cam and I have no work for her. This truck isn't my main truck. We got it in December of 03 and put it in my mechanics shop for the winter and brought it out in March of 04. A lot of work and I want to do more in the future.

Popular Post vision386 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2013 Heres a few more from the "vault" when my Grandad retired,sold the farm,kinda left me without a job,so Pop put in a good word for me with a local small fleet operator who was looking for a driver,hired me on the spot with Pop's handshake. I ran this R-model for about 5 months in the summer of 1981 for Barry Cairione Trucking Malaga,NJ he owned three trucks at the time,this R-model another one just about the same specs 300+ 6-speed,the one i drove was the newer style,the one next to it had the illusive "hood scoop" both on Camelbacks. He also had a White Road Boss II,which was a real "turd" formula 290 Cummins,9 speed Fuller. I enjoyed running for him,made decent money,home everynight,but just was'nt enough work to keep us all busy in the winter,so i took a job at Atlas Van Lines,but that is another story!..........................Mark 5 Quote Mack Truck literate.

Popular Post RFCDrum Posted February 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2013 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 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
