tkobes43 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Well fellow mack lovers, I'm about to finalize my next mack purchase. I don't know if you remember the one i posted about a year ago. Its down in Newark NJ. Ive been trying to get it for a few years now. I stopped in today since i was in the area and they guy said its for sale! finally! I left my business card and said he will call me over the weekend. I will include a few pictures. These where taken last year, and now the truck has gotten ALOT worse. All the tires have gone flat. Missing emblems, some glass, interior parts. But everything mechanical is untouched! Just about 10yrs worth of dust and sh**. If i do end up buying it, I'm going to use my go pro and tape the whole ride home. Im either deciding on a few from inside the truck facing forward, or a video outside facing the trailer.....Thought id keep you guys updated.Tom Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25563-i-must-be-fed-in-the-head/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkobes43 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 The truck is in really good shape! Very little rot, just on the front fenders, floors are very solid, the cab is straight as a door nail! The guy said its been sitting for 7 or so years. Right now it has tandem axles sitting on the frame, then on top of that is a jet ski! lol. Its been in that spot for awhile. But I'm hoping to get it soon just awaiting his phone call.

Bigdogtrucker Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Back in the "90's i used to ride with my uncle hauling mail to N.J.We used to see an old man with a B model pulling a box trailer all the time,almost looks like it could be the same truck.Know any other history about it?

I have been popping my head in and out of that place for 2 years now asking about that damn truck. all the other times he says, the owner of the b model (Devino doesn't own this one) is in jail, out of the country, business trip, etc. But this time i guess i caught him in a better mood he said the owner is ready to sell it. I gave him my card and I'm just waiting for a phone call. Then she will be on my trailer coming home! They are very nice people, if you catch them on the right day. I have been given the brunt of them full force. But somehow i keep on going back to save that damn truck!! LOLNothings gonna stop me! OH if your talking about that blue dodge tractor out by the road, it is now gone! I didn't see it by the road anymore. It was in VERY nice shape to if i remember correctly.
