  1. Heres one from Sam Coraluzzo Co. Vineland,NJ taken by me in 1975,we used to buy our bulk fuel from them,at the time. Mack R-685ST unit number T-52. Coraluzzo is still in business today,but now use "Brand-X" trucks,mostly peterbilts..................Mark

  9. No,two different trucks owned by the same guy,thats why they look so similar,the blue one has a Pete sleeper on it,the purple truck,pretty much the same specs.

  22. We had a Kysor roof-mount A/C mounted on our R-model by the local Thermo-King dealer back in the 80's,it worked great,but the way that "periscope" was mounted/aimed,it would give you one hell of an ear-ache!....................................Mark
  23. Sorry to hear about that Tom,i sure hate to hear about folks being taken advantage of,especially people that "are'nt made out of money" burns me up! if some of these assholes would put as much effort into doing a honest,good days work,as they do thinking of ways to rip people off,maybe they'd get somewhere in life! i sure hope your folks can get at least some of their money back,but likes been said here,the laws not on the side of honest,law abiding folks anymore,its the damn crooks,theives,drug dealers that have all the "rights".........................Mark
  24. Nice pics as usual Tom! going to have to take me a breeze up to Winfall some of these days! 63 Impala BTW............................................................Mark
