Rob Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I drove one of those a few years back about the same length but a tandem. Geez, that was a rough riding SOB without any weight on the platter.

vision386 Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 I just wondered,because i have stumbled across a contruction company near here,with quite a few classic Macks,(including a C-model) visible from the highway,have'nt been able to find anyone who knows anything about the place,or who owns the property.6-7 B-models,3-4 R-models,at least 1 C-model and some other make trucks,various contruction equipt. Still trying to track down the owner of the place,dont really want to get my ass shot while "poking around"!!!LOL!............Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

vision386 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Truck is lettered for Hillcrest Paving & Excavating out of Maplewood, NJ. They are still in business today, operating out of Union, NJ. I have never seen this truck, but they run a small fleet of nice silver and black Macks. They keep their stuff pretty clean.Nice find,JohnThanks John,always nice for me to find something with a "Jersey connection"! LOL!............Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

Rob Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Bobby Gilbreath, (bobgil on the board) has a 63 C609 he is working with money permitting. It runs really well with a END-711 engine. Last I seen the truck he had retrofitted the brakes to modern style "Q" series from and "R" model, and built up a nice pintle hitch and plate. I don't think he had the driveshaft made at that time because the wheelbase was altered.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

rhasler Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 While we're on the subject of advertisements, does anyone remember one from the 1990's touting the fuel sipping characteristics of the Mack engines that claimed "fuel mileage in the nines"? I distinctly remember reading the ad, but don't recall what was actually depicted in it. Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!"

I distinctly remember reading the ad, but don't recall what was actually depicted in it.I'm thinking that may have been for the "Mid-liner" series of trucks. I bought two of them and average fuel economy with two cars on the deck was a bit over 8.5mpg. Empty and running the speed limit could get almost 11mpg. These two weighed just shy of 20,000 empty.Couldn't beat my IH with a 9.0ltr V8. I ran that truck myself starting out and consistently averaged 17.8mpg with a 19' steel "No-Mar" bed and wheel lift when empty. This dropped right to 9.5mpg with two cars loaded. Absolute trouble free this truck was too.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
