Mid to late '90s in Hartford at the Riverfront Recapture Project, when O&G took over the project after George Tomasso Constr. crashed and burned on it financially. The state fired Tomasso and O&G finished it. The truck sat around the site with a lowboy attached to it, I'm not sure if it was that trailer or another. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/93/#findComment-571591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
