vision386 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 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.Always get Barclay and Casey mixed up!............................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

VPZINC Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 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, RobMy absolute favorite truck in this thread! Anyone know where it is now and if its still working?

RFCDrum Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Excellent Mark I don't really have any good photos from when John's Autocar was in their original colors. I only have a 110 photo. I have newer photos to post of that truck. Cheers, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 VP that truck is still working it is owned by Gallen Contracting used to be DT Allen Contracting. It has a Beau Roc body on it now but still has the chrome center cones and chrome air cleaner. I see your stuff all the time I live in Hillburn Cheers, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFCDrum Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RFCDrum Posted February 21, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2013 Ok more John Mauro this is his Autocar he had painted it this blue and then sold it to John Gusette. John then repainted in the teal(stole my color) . This truck had a 290 cummins massaged to 380 so he told me with a rtoo 13 speed 65 rears on Autocar suspension.
