  1. I have more pics but they wont load. maybe to big?
  2. Sorry I didnt write down any prices. Mr Hancock i dont know what you look like or i would have said hi. I have seen you on this board with great input for quite a few years now. I think quite a few trucks and parts went to my town also as Daryl Gushee seemed to be buying a lot.
  3. Yes I went. Picked up a old DM800. Dont quite know what i got till i get it home But the double frame was excellent with no spread , 65k rears, mack motor and trans. Over all the prices were dirt cheap in my opinion. Tons of mack trucks over a hundrred. Most sold bor $250 - $1500. I paid $950 for the DM. There we a lot of Mack people Ive seen over the years there trying to grab what they could. It was a nice day and lots of deals.
  4. Vlad , congratulations ! I will never be sad again to see a Mack get exported from the US. I didn't take into consideration there are other people in this world that love Macks. Have fun with it !
  5. I bought some Superliner parts this week from a man in Andover , N.H. His name is J.D. Mcleod he has some of the nicest Mack stuff as I have ever seen. Very nice man. I got a few cheap camera shots. Maybe someday I will go back and get some with a good camera. Sorry no matter what I try I cant get the site to let me upload them yet. I will try later. He also has a mint Superliner Dump I will put pics of that also. Just previewed post looks like it worked.
  6. Does anyone remember the "Howard Johnsons" along the Maine turnpike? They had fuel and restraunt , as a kid I thought they were good.
  7. I don't see this dump on Truckpaper. Is it sold?
  8. Don't get to many truck stops , but will as we are going to start hauling a little freight. I did get to the I-80 truck stop last year with my daughter while we took a cross country trip. Very impressive for sure! Here is a pic of inside with my daughter standing in front of a truck on display in the accessories shop . If anyone gets up to Maine , Dysarts Truck Stop off of 95 near Bangor is a great place to eat and buy goodies for the truck. doug
  9. Barn door will give u the most uses for the truck
  10. Nice 800 ! A real truck.
  11. First Corbitt I had seen in person a couple of summers ago in northern Maine.

  13. Get well soon superdog
  14. Ive been laid up for a couple of days too. Cant remember ever taking a day off . Doc told me rest it for a few weeks and I didn't listen. Now I cant walk. Trying to heal it up . Bursitis and Cellulitis in left knee. Heres a pic from Friday night
  15. Nice . I don't know anything about it. sorry
  16. Whats the link to the video? FR Carrol just got some yellow mixers with black lettering in Maine.
  17. I love that ! Beautiful truck
  18. The Volvo wasn't what I wanted for sure , but im blaming it on my wife. Heres why , a few months ago I found a 98 CH613 a nice heavy tractor with a 7000 gallon stainless tanker , JUST WHAT I WANTED! I am not a dickering man and if I want something I buy it without much negotiating. So I am headed out of the shop one day and tell my wife I am headed up to buy this Mack in the next town over. On the way out she says "talk him down ! don't pay full price like you always do!" So after being ridiculed I get to the truck look it all over for the 3rd time and I want it. Mistake number one , I offer him $2k less than he is asking. He says I will take it but I have to call my partner and see what he says and I will call you tonight. SO the next day he hasn't called and I call him. He says we sold it for full asking price a couple of hrs after you looked at it. THATS why I don't negotiate and will not again! If you see something you need and want, don't screw around dickering over a few thousand dollars, just pay the damn price and get it to work.
  19. Heres a few pics I found of my OL' Yellow. 1st is hauling some new JCB mini equipment to a Home Depot where they were going to rent them out. I don't think Home Depot rents minis anymore? 2nd pic is hauling a burnt skidder. I spent all day dragging this out of the woods for a guy with my dozer then hauled to another state. All in all I had quite a few hundred miles involved and two days work only to not get paid ! Guy stiffed me. 3rd pic is a old Christmas card with my Mack CH and kids. 4th pic im embarrassed to show here but just picked up this Volvo cheap to make some local runs with . Brought it in shop yesterday to take the lettering off it. doug
  20. Oh , I see. Two stacks out of a muffler. Cool thanks
  21. Thankfully we still have power here. About 1/2" plus ice. Merry Christmas .
  22. Truck was a 1981 as I remember. This pic I stole from Craigslist it is the fist time I had seen the truck since I sold it years ago. I contacted seller he wanted $3700 for it. He said it went to a exporter in Boston unfortunately.
  23. Im looking for some pics of dual pipes on one side. Anyone have one to share?
