Looks good,Vinny! Hey,Rome wasn't built in a day either! Look at it this way , you could be 55 and 3 trucks apart or in the process! Al

The Clinton's were on that bus,guaranteed! Probably a whole lot of other liberal politicians,also! Al

That R model probably got a new cab,and was put back into service in a couple of weeks. It is now helping someone in a 3rd world country,build a road to a village that didn't have one! Al

Bob, A buddy of mine from Oshkosh,Wis. is out there for the Hot August Nights also! If you see Bob (his name too),say hello LOL! Have fun,Bob Al

Nice,Jim. There is a family from Wisconsin that has a nice H Model FORD restored also. Not to steal your thunder Jim,here's a picture of it. Al

Looks like an Oakville ,Ont. built Bulldog to boot! Al

Nope. I was too busy trying not to hit anything,while being ready with the parking brake just in case of an "aw shit",Jim! Al

Looks good! Love a tip turbine 300's sound. Another R gets to stay here! Al

PeterMack even let ME drive it...................about 25 ft as we CAREFULLY pushed it in the garage. Thanks Brian! AL

Nice collection ,Matt. If those old girls could talk,we'd have to start another website for 'em! Al

Thanks for posting the pics,Mike. It WAS a good time as always. Visiting with you and Mikey is always a highlight of my Walcott show. Take care. Al

I wish them the best in this big old messed up, foreign corporate owned world. Al

Matt, I saw your collection @Baraboo last year. You really have some nice trucks. Couldn't make it this year. Will be at Richland Center,though. Al

Wish you the best of luck,Paul. Sounds like a nice retreat. Far enough from the jerks that forced you out. I myself can't wait to move out of the political sink hole called Illinois. Al

Yes it does,Jake. That will be coming off. The wet kit is staying on,though.

Got a pair of polished Alcoas for the front,plan on keeping the spokes on the back. More interested in good rubber for now.

Don't know yet,Mike. Needs a good D.O.T.'n (by me) first. I have thought about it,though .

See you there! Everybody have a safe trip. Al

Thanks,guys. Right with you on that one,Matt. I never cared for them either . Give me the old 3 spoke plastic wheel,and I'm good. Al

........must have a big basement! Seriously folks, looks like someone needs to check it out, buff it,and show it! Al

Back last winter I was contemplating buying a the RS 700 that Ranchhopper was driving here in the northern Illinois area when I started hauling gravel in '86. After much thought ,another buddy of mine told me about a truck not 1 mile from my house that was destined for a boat ride,if somebody didn't save it. So I said,"let's go take a look ". I knew the truck as it was around since the early '90's in the area and having a soft spot for the bulldog variety , I figured it was my duty to save it from a land far away . It is a 1988 R690ST. EM6-300L T2070 , and 5.73 Camelback rears,P/S,A/C. It runs great,but needs a little lovin'. I have an incredible bunch of friends who are on board to help me resurrect her. It has 385,000 miles on it (which I believe are true) . It is pretty much un-butchered,giving me a solid truck to fix up. Plans for now are just to get it mechanically sound,then paint & sprucing up,later . Nothing special really,just a red,Chicago area gravel spec R model Mack.

A little "interlining" going on there,eh? Looks good! Every time I pull an old storage trailer with the BCR, I think "man,I'm glad it's not loaded!". Lol. Al

Hopefully you find some more contacts on here, Jay. Macknutt and I were at the World Headquarters building the day you showed up with your B and another. Would have love to have taken pictures of my truck, in front of the now former(sad) MACK WHQ . Lucky guy. Good luck on your search. Al
