My guess is that truck's most likely in good shape. Those guys (on the door) take good care of their equipment. The original owner did too. -

That looks like it was a Wyoming Sand and Stone truck when it was brand new. I'd like to see it now. Either way, I've worked side by side with it at one time or another. - Yesterday

I wish I took pictures of the DM pit trucks I worked on for Portland Sand and Gravel in Portland Maine. They were triple framed, E-6 twin stick 107's. They were geared so low that they were maxed out at 55mph. It was a long drive from The Shop, back to the sand pit. Sure wish I knew then what I know now...... -

Yeah, I’m not sure Mark. It was a brand new R model. At the LA dealer, I don’t remember what year it was but it had the grey interior . I remember thinking I really liked it. As much as a big fan, I was of the dark green they were using 68 to 72 -
Convert to spring brake chambers rear axles 55 LJSWX
FBGNO replied to FBGNO's question in Mack Truck Q & A
All, Thank you for the response, it has roto chambers on it now. I'll have to look into the space issue, to see what will actually fit. I remember 20 years ago, there was a place in New Jersey that came up with retrofit kits to convert just about all of the stock applications, from the old wedge brakes all the way through, over to spring brake canisters. It's been soo many years that I lost track of them. I found out about them because I was doing a complete brake job on an R model tandem tractor and it made sense to go the extra expense to change out the spiders, and whatever else necessary, to accept the kit to convert to spring brakes. -

Red Horse replied to BKrois's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Hah..Justification? I think ego is one thing-if the other guy has it, I'm going to top that😎 But I think Hippy raises a good point. I think I see some of these guys doing what I would see as routine crane jobs at construction sites. Here in Mass equipment operators have to have a Hoisting Engineer License. And they are issued for various classes of equipment. I have a 2A that restricts me to loaders, loader back hoes, and excavators. cranes? that is another story. Blackdog..does Conn have a similar license now for construction equipment? -

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing taking a closer look at the doorstep and that information sticker but yeah it looks brand new. I remember looking at a brand new or model with that same color interior when it was brand new that was a long long time ago. -

Geoff Weeks replied to BKrois's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
It would seam so, you don't see wrecker like those running the roads of Michigan where trains can run up to 160K and permit loads above that. What is the justification for a rig like that in Conn?
