No, here in Pa the cops were banging us up over weight. 58,000 GVW no matter what you had. But the south americans came up and bought them like crazy. They especially wanted macks. They liked big autocars like DC9964s with SUDD rears too, all the good stuff. Parts too Endt675 and Endt676 engines, TRXL and TRXXL 107 trannys, and 55,000 and 65,000 cut offs were all really hot items for export. They were crazy for 24 inch tube type rims too. The stuff brought decent money, and they weren't tire kicking types that wanted to "think about it". If they said they wanted it, they paid you in cash and took it 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/88/#findComment-564646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
