AHHH! The pleasures of delivering to grocery store warehouses and produce markets

North MN: Welcome to BMT!! There is a lot of expertise on this site. Contact Dean Jenkins of Fairview NC. User name 1961H67, He and his son have a fleet of 4 Superliners still working. He is a great guy who will answer your PM's and emails. Go to the Antique and Classic Truck discussion area and pull up topic Superliner RW700 Steering Axle. I just bumped it to the top. This topic has a lot of pictures of his refurbishment of one of his Superliners.

Bump to top for FarnorthMN..

At the farm, YES!! But in the larger facilities from PU truck to road tanker Rubber Duck will have to explain better. I do not miss pulling tits twice every day. Beef farming is a lot less strenuous on your living schedule.

Welcome to Big Mack Trucks!!!!! I am sure there is someone out there making your window rubbers. Tom Warren Jr in Amarillo Tex used to, but I have not heard from him in a couple of years since his father died. The business may be tied up in an estate settlement???? Please post some pictures of your project, they always help with encouragement!!!

Hippy, Thank you for those videos. To ALL::: If you ever get to Bangor ME put the Cole's museum on your "to do list".... Everything from a railroad locomotive to bicycles hanging from the ceiling!!!

Jon, The rule of thumb is to start asking high!! Then you can bargain down and the buyer thinks he is getting a good deal!!!

NO.. The majority are Australian trucks even though several are American trucks he has imported. There were a few years that LHD vehicles were allowed be used in Australia. The Mayne Nickless H model is one of them. Paul Mrs Mack can clarify better. Tony was also a Cat dealer at one time and his restoration shop is pictured in the old Cat building.

Paul, Thank you for that post. Australia's biggest conservator of Mack equipment and history is probably Tony Champion of Rockhampton QLD. Below is a link to the pictures of my visit to his facility in 2015. Click on the picture and the album will open.The R-800 in one of the first back lot pictures is now restored and there was an article about it in a recent ATCA Double Clutch magazine.

Congratulations!!!!! How did you do it??? Diet??? Exercise??? I am 6'4" and have dropped from 250 when driving to 235 in retirement, but would still like to get back to about 200.. I have the arthritis problem in my hips as well as fighting sugar.

As a kid the calves we bought to raise for beef became as much a pet as anything.

Tom, This is sad to hear. But it fits with "New Breed" of trucker who do NOT know that to sit down at a relaxing meal makes them safer on the highway as well as keeping their blood pressure down. Most all of the family style restaurants, that had truck parking, that I used to frequent have gone entirely or are no longer 24/7.. Pilot was one of the worst for remodeling the restaurants they bought with a D-8!!

GW, May Rory RIP.. My thoughts are with you as I can still remember some of the dogs I have had over the years.

The truck definitely looks like they could have fitted a 12V71 instead of the 8V71??

Yeah!! BUT NOT their own!!!!!!!!
