Popular Post PeterMack Posted September 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2013 A friend of mine moved to TN a couple years ago and he went to a Music City ATHS meeting and took a few pictures and sentthem to me. I think this show was Sept 2011. I think he took these with the phone and they were a little smaller for some reason,but you guys will figure it out. If I remember correctly it seems like their was a story in the Wheels of Time about that MH and howthe club pitched in and bought the guy that truck because he was the Pres. of the club and didn't have a truck. Think the story wasfrom a couple years ago. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Bubba had his yellow Mack at Lincolnton NC last weekend and is planning on being at Cherokee next month. It is his everyday work truck so some of his show attendance depends on how his loads fall. Also Bob Anders maroon LJ will definitely be at Cherokee.

Ill be at that show not this saturday but next and plan to get some pics.

He had a nice IH cabover andhe told me he was selling a trailer and a guy came over to look at it, he saw the IH, made my buddy and offer and he let it go. He said the guywho bought it was from Chattanooga. Its no Mack, but I'll post a pic of the now Chattanooga IH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jakebrake86 Posted September 21, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hey, Mack, I stopped at James Coleman's place in Mineral Wells, MS the other day to pick up a new DM door, and Jordan had three R models and a CH hauling broken up concrete to a crusher set up at the concrete plant in Mineral Wells on Old 78. Now, these trucks aren't based in TN, and these photos weren't taken in TN, but I could have thrown a rock across the state line. Does that count? I think the teal green one is the one that used to be red and white. I could be wrong though. It appears to be in the best shape of all of them. 5 Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 That green R is a lightweight chassis, only 8 lug wheels makes me wonder if they're hauling on 12k front and 34k rears, whew I couldn't do it.

Popular Post jakebrake86 Posted December 31, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2013 This was way back in the summer of '06 when I was 20 and had a brand new CDL. I was working for my cousin's company, AMW Contracting based in Southaven, Mississippi. We were widening Highway 72 in Collierville, Tennessee from the Stateline Citgo at Cayce Road to Highway 385. I found 5 matching '95 DM690's in Truck Trader magazine in Richmond, Indiana, and my cousin ended up buying all 5 of them. They came from a paving company called Ronco, or something like that. When we got them the stripe was a copper color and my cousin had us paint them to match our Peterbilt lowboy truck. They all had sequential serial numbers and the same key would crank all of them. They were dang good trucks. E7 300's, T2070's, and 4.64's on 44k camelback with 16' Heil beds. I ended up buying number 7 not long after I went out on my own, but I sold it and my R model in order to buy the RD I have now. 4 Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebrake86 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 They did dang good, Ryan. I wasn't impressed with those Heil beds, though. They were a little light duty for alot of the work we did. Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
