These 2 beauties belong to Jerry Howard. The picture of the black truck was taken at Macungie.

Jerry has an impressive collection and he's a great guy. He hauled my '58 H67 from Colorado to my house in Ohio.

Can't tell by the pic, but I bet that trailer has more than 8 tires on it, probably 8 on each axle.    terry:MackLogo:

No doubt-I'm just referring to the "heavy haul" tractors of today-usually a triaxle tractor, triaxle trailer (with probably 8 wheels per) and maybe a jeep-depending on how much money the customer has or how tough the ruling jurisdiction is.

Paul,

And who was Sawmill?  I always thought somehow they were involved with Gerosa?  In any case, amazing what used to get hauled around on 5 axles in the old days.

They were inter mingled at one time. Mostly from the Black Caddy crowd in Brooklyn.

It doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

1985 Autocar DK64B - Copy.JPG

that looks an awful lot like my buddy Al's truck we sold two years ago after he passed away.

it did not come from New Jersey, did it?

when you are up to your armpits in alligators,

it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

I don't know where the Autocar came from but I could do some checking around.

Clicked the picture May 2016 at the Western Mass show and the truck is located in the Greenfield, MA area.

Jim -looks mint!  Where and when did you snap that?  do I see Londonderry on flap?  Early?

It's a Beauty!

Clicked the pic yesterday afternoon in Milford, NH.  It has Donovan Spring, Londonderry flaps on it.  If it hadn't been pouring rain, I would have investigated it more.  It appears to be an active member of the construction fleet.
