Found this picture over at hanks,of an APA MB similar to the one i drove,if you look closely,you can just about see the handtruck handles sticking up in the pass. side windshield...............................................Mark

Cost of fuel these days ANYTHING you can do to save money helps! personally,i drive smart,not as heavy on the throttle as i used to be LOL! only thing saving me is 90% of what i haul is under 20,000 Lbs......................................Mark

Skivvies,drinking a brew on the deck? NO PICTURES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..................................................Mark

I don't have clue who made them Al,i threw away the box they were in years ago,they have "NYC" and the number 1008 stamped on the bottom,they look just like the ones on this B-81 only smaller,these were real popular on dump and garbage trucks at the time......................Mark

Much like APA,NEMF did'nt have pass. seats in the "city" trucks,used to carry a handtruck over there when i worked for them............................................Mark

Man! thats a nice looking truck! maybe some more pictures when you're able?...................................................Mark

NICE!................................................Mark

I remember Horner STOCKED new cabs on pallets,frame rails,fuel tanks,engines,trans.rears etc.and just about anything else that you might need. I was fortunate enough to be invited to the "attic" sale when Charlie Horner retired in the early nineties,an absoulute goldmine of "vintage" Mack parts,i only wish i had a bigger truck(and more money) at the time! New B-model doors,hoods,all the emblems,trim,grille shells etc. I did manage to save quite a few items,most of which i still have,my prizes being a set of stainless "rookie-poles" with the small gold dogs on top,a new in the box B-model grill emblem,a new in the box B-model steering wheel,numerous emblems badges etc. the only thing i wanted that i did'nt get was a new set of RL-700L emblems (wish i had them now) you could have literally built an F-model out of what was left,(National Freight Inc.) was one of their biggest customers Bernie Brown bought all his trucks from Horner,till they went with "Brand-X"................................Mark

Leslie,Al and Vinny are both right,it is a Landoll-hauloll,Battelini's was a disributor for them last i knew,they have several of them. They also supply all sorts of parts and accessories for the towing-recovery business.....................................Mark http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=A0PDoTEUMvRQPDkAT32JzbkF;_ylu=X3oDMTBlMTQ4cGxyBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDaW1n?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dbattelini%2Btowing%26ei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3Dyfp-t-701-1%26tab%3Dorganic%26ri%3D156&w=640&h=480&imgurl=www.batteliniswreckersales.com%2Fimage%2F47449221.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.batteliniswreckersales.com%2FNew_Custom.html&size=67.5+KB&name=tumino+s+%3Cb%3Etowing+%3C%2Fb%3Enew+40+50+csr+rotator&p=battelini+towing&oid=75b70907ffc2eeccb928eff8ed7d9b00&fr2=&fr=yfp-t-701-1&tt=tumino%2Bs%2B%253Cb%253Etowing%2B%253C%252Fb%253Enew%2B40%2B50%2Bcsr%2Brotator&b=151∋=220&no=156&ts=&tab=organic&sigr=11l7f72rk&sigb=13abrl54o&sigi=11ho4auke&.crumb=E/GeVv6tL4v

I hear you Al ! Horner Mack Vineland,NJ was my families dealership "back in the day" when countermen knew (and had parts in stock) when my dad or grandads trucks needed service or repair,they always went over and above to get it right,and we NEVER bought a new truck from them at the time. All the salemen would save the "special" Mack stuff for me,brochures,spec. sheets,hats etc. i even still have the Mack Flag that flew under the American flag up front! those days are pretty much gone,i remember what a pain in the ass i musta been bugging the salesguys with questions,wanting to look at the new trucks etc. but they always made and effort to accomidate me as a kid,and i never forgot it. I bought my first brand new truck from Horner in 1988,sales guy even took the time to sit down with me and "spec.it out" just like i wanted it. (try that now) but as is the story with many longtime Mack dealers,they sold out to the Bergey group (assholes) and i ceased doing business with them,when i needed an "appointment" for a PM, had to order EVERYTHING,always took 2-3 days (Baltimore dist.center 60 miles away) just got tired of the BS! but have good memories of the "glory days" LOL!.................................Mark

I always liked the color scheme/graphics on Martins' trucks very sharp (that tater' breads' damn good too!)......................................Mark

That makes sense,wondered why i always saw so many,i used to see a lot of the HI-HO D'addario DMM's when i passed through.............................................Mark

DMM's seem very popular in CT for some reason,most of the ones i've seen are up there,or tranplanted to FL....................................................................Mark

They also had a U-model service truck sitting at their terminal in Port Elizabeth,never was able to see it very well or get a picture,because of a big fence thats hard to see through,i looked all over Hanks too,but did'nt turn up any pictures of it............................Mark

Vin, NEMF still has a few U-models floating around,i saw a tandem U-Model on the Turnpike last time i was in Jersey............................................Mark

Mrs.Vision has told me that dutch oven IS grounds for divorce,i told her i CAN'T be held resposible for what happens in my sleep!...............................................Mark

Bout the only thing you can buy WITHOUT the "first 6" is a new hat!..................................................Mark

Yes i do! they also had a 361 Conventional huskypup for a short time,i have a picture of it somewhere,but i'm still un-able to find my "big box" of truck pictures!........................................Mark

Kind of a "two- fer" i guess!,being as Hess Oil Co. is also based in Woodbridge,NJ just a shame it a "brand-X" truck LOL!...................................................Mark

seen this over at Hank's,it may or may not have been posted before,but i've never seen it.Anyone know the story? where it is or what it was used for? never seen one like this before,it has a few Mack parts i can identify (headlight panels,door,etc.) just looks to be super heavy duty!..........................Mark

Battelini Towing and Transporation Landisville,NJ...................................................Mark

It sure does'nt! i think i paid close to that for my rubber floor mats cause' they got the Mack logo on them!...............................................Mark
