Great looking trailer and truck. I guess you won't tell us the reserve. I can buy 48' storage trailers for $1000, but they are not SS. What is the fire truck in the background? Mike

That is a neat truck. It would be great to save it. You might even find a collector to buy the drilling rig. You can buy replacement headlights new. The hood would be hard to come buy. Hopefully that could be fixed. As superdog said, the fenders are made real steel and the dents can be knocked out. Good luck.

A year or so ago someone posted on here about wanting parts for this truck. I exchanged a few PM's with him. He sent a link to the Evil and Robbie Kinevel web site which had pictures of the truck in its heyday. Signed his emails RK which I assume is Robbie Kinevel. I could have been fooled. He said he got a cab from Dennis Meehan so didn't need anything of mine. Someone on here suggested he contact American Trucker which he must have done because of the show which aired last year. The show was a farce, how they went looking for it, but I guess that is television. Mike

I'll take them if you can bring them to Macungie. Mike 610 764 8283.

I thought those windows were not correct for the sleeper, but I found this picture on the ATHS site. It is a neat sleeper. Wish I had a use for it. Mike

There are several pictures of set-back axle F models on the ATHS site under Mack Monday. They are in Europe. I never saw on in person. Mike

If you can come in June you can come to the atca truck show.in Macungie, Pa. It usually has 500 or more trucks and the most prominent make is Mack. You can tour the Mack factory and go to the Mack Museum. There are some local collections too. Otherwise come.for.Mack Day the first weekend in October. It is in Lititz, Pa. You can still go to the Mack Museum and the Mack factory. You are welcome to come see my trucks. We have a couple dozen Macks. We are 30 minutes south of Macungie Pa. Mike

You can search it under the Mahan Collection. Its in Basking Ridge Nj. He was at John Harness' yesterday. I don'tknow how.he.is.for drop is, but his collection is amazing. Mike

Boyertown Pa. More southeastern Pa. Mike

That style is on E and A models and some or maybe all L models. They do pop into the end of the hub. Nice find. Mike

Pretty neat. An open air museum like that would rust away here in Pennsylvania. I really like the E model. Mike

Rob, The truck cranks great with one 6 volt. It just won't fire. It some times takes over 5 minutes of repeated cranking to fire. Thanks, Mike

That is a great looking truck. Yours is an A model and the other is an E model. The E model preceeded the A model. They used the same cab, but the grill is different. I don't know about the hood and fenders. I think you have the serial number wrong. Please take a closer look. Maybe it is 75A1001? Does your truck run? It looks pretty solid. A little rubbing compound should go a long way. Looks like you have a great location too. I have a very similar truck to yours, 405A1002. It is in original condition with a few modifications. The body is solid. It runs great, but does not like to start when the engine is hot. Mike

I was really hoping to sell whole trucks. George, If you want to "hide" one of the B models at your house indefinitely give me $1000 and I'll through in a title and some extra parts. I'll even tow it to your house. Mike

That is a really neat truck. I would love to have it, but it is way out of my price range. It is really hard to set a value on a truck like that. I had someone call wanting to know if I wanted to sell my H613. I thought it over for a while. I don't know what it is worth in non-running unrestored condition. I know what I paid for it and that I wouldn't sell it for that. My father said tell him $15,000. I didn't think it was worth that much, but was afraid that he might so I told him I wouldn't sell it. It is very hard to put a price on these one-of-a-kind trucks. A couple years ago I was trying to sell two old International fire trucks for a friend. I had someone from Australia who would pay the asking price and send someone to get them. The owner didn't want them to go that far. I did sell them to the great International heaven in Canada, but I got a couple thousand less than the asking price and they still didn't stay in the US. Mike

There was a long thread on here or on the ATHS site with pictures a month or two ago. Also someone recently wrote on here that they spoke to John and he responded that he is no longer in the old parts business. I talked to him a while at Mack Day and he did not tell me that. I do not have a number for him. You could probably find it in the web, John Chalmers Cashtown, PA. Mike

The company my father worked for had 2 R models that looked really nice. One had the hood green with the depressed area that the top and back grey. They other was blue with grey. The cabs were white. There is an old picture of an R model in the recent gallery pictures that is red except for the depressed are in the hood that is white. Something like that would look really good on your U model.
