Hmmm,now where have I seen that truck before?

During the winter I was on ebay looking through Walter Miller's vast MACK pictures for sale and noticed one that was of an AC with a insulated body on the back and read "Horace Motors" on it. I knew Horace Motors had been a Dodge car/truck dealership in Elgin,Il. (about 20 miles from my place),in the '50's-'70's and at one time even sold new MACK Trucks!. Evidently,the picture of the AC was a remote unit that a had a direct telephone line on it that would put you in touch with a salesman. Don't know where exactly it was parked,but thought it was interesting, nonetheless.I told a buddy of mine about the pictures that Walter Miller had for sale,and he said,"we bought a truck from Horace Motors in the early '70's!" Turns out it was that same truck! He got me some pictures from his Dad showing some of their finds from the early '70's! This was about the time I started working for his Dad. The pics brought back a ton of memories.Enjoy! (By the way,he still has the unrestored AB and it runs like a top!)

Glad you guys liked 'em. I wish there were more pictures of that R model in the last picture.it was a '69 R711S-ENDT673C-20 speed quad-44,000 camelback 6.34 ratio dual stacks,swing down push plate,all on a 220" (give or take) wheelbase. It was a sweet ride also!
