vision386 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Al,i think you hit the nail on the head!! I consider myself a pretty decent "truckologist" but I was stumped! I looked up some pictures and this was as close as I could come,Marmon cabinover seems to be it? look closely at this one!.................................Mark 2 Quote Mack Truck literate.

vision386 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 My only other guess was gonna be a 7400 White,but all the pictures I found the door handle was in the wrong place on the door,so I ruled it out!.....................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Joe Ditchkus Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I looked up the origins of Quality Carriers Tampa ,Florida and started with Chemical Leaman. There is a Quality Carriers from Bristol, Wisconsin that could have been associated with Matlacl I did not go that far in checking it out. Either way two large tank lines in their original format are no more along with the good paying jobs. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Quality Carriers from Wisconsin was a milk hauler. Used Blue Mack B models and H models back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 there is also a Quality Carriers in Upstate NY, Jeff Eaton does the trucking do I'm assuming he is leased onto the other QC. the ones with the QC and nice shiny tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mackdaddy Posted July 6, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2016 The 2 photos below are also Fruit Growers Supply Company trucks. The Pete is a 390 of which 38 were built. Note the Pete has bud wheels and is a lot lighter built than the Mack even though triple framed. I own a FGS Pete that I restored into a big single drive. Remember that where they were logging big sugar pine it was very flat ground near Westwood, CA. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyT Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I too would like to see the finished LM,rugged beast! Love the yellow a'car,always loved the old a' cars.passport transport had a few decked out older a' car conv.tractors with modern power,possibly glider kits.on the subject of really heavy equipment,there was a Bucyrus Erie power shovel visable above the trees off I 80 as you crossed from oh. Into pa. Was at a defunct strip mine.saw it for years into the90s I think.is it. Still there? I believe it had the largest bucket in the world at one time,50yds.There was a photo of it with a tandem dump in the bucket! One of those deals where they had to haul the individual components to the site and bolt/weld them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
