I’m sure somebody else will chime in one thing I can tell you about the H;; if your in one on a cold winter day ;it don't start so you are being towed by a diamond T wrecker having a pull plate of 2 in steel in the upright position::: MAKE SURE THE DUPLEX TWIN STICK IS IN BOTH MAIN AND AUX.!! with no air built up and a hand brake which is frozen not much to do when the wrecker stops for traffic and the H model doesn't stop till the crash of the wrecker pull plate modifies the bubble nose of the H. this all takes place while the service manager and 3 prospective buyers watch. main was in gear aux wasn't. new rules took place after that.. pull plate down to bumper height/ air will be built up in towed unit .

Popular Post mowerman Posted Saturday at 08:24 PM Popular Post Share Posted Saturday at 08:24 PM I don’t even recall ever seeing one on the road when I was a kid I’m sure I did, but when I moved to California and used to go to the Bay Area quite a bit I believe it was Allied. Van lines had a bunch of them running around the bay area all cleaned up middle 80s. I don’t know what was up with that and I don’t know how many they actually had, but I used to see at least one of them all the time around Oakland. Still working… Aaaaahhhhh good old days. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76617-h-series-macks/#findComment-595374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted Saturday at 08:25 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:25 PM Forgot to mention, they were all painted Allied van lines, colors, and all in really good shape like they had been restored Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76617-h-series-macks/#findComment-595375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the look of them H's. I don’t quite remember you’re talking 40 years ago. I just remembered they were painted the same as the rest of their trucks all running around the bay area. You probably don’t even know where I’m talking about. Whatever Allied was using back then that’s the scheme they had. Somebody has got to have photos of them somewhere.

mowerman Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Yes, I found that one myself… and thanks for that TJ but these were a different color than that. I think they were darker orange with maybe black fenders as I mentioned it I really can’t remember but they were all in really mint condition. That one looks very tired ha ha Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76617-h-series-macks/#findComment-595453 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I’ve tried to search for my dad‘s old company photos. I can’t find anything on it except for patches which I have bought and a B model ,, model with their logo. I guess there was probably nothing interesting at the time… they had U model Mack’s for the road and most of their city rigs were load stars really nothing unusual about anything they had. Beacon fast freight I’m sure you remember them TJ they had a yard in Kearney.
