JumperAndSon Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I guess I have a soft spot for the 237 Maxidyne. I was running a GMC Astro with a 8V-92 in it from coast to coast. I rolled it in Montana with a load of apples. When the dust settled the only truck I could afford was a R-Model Mack single axle with a Dynatard. I put a $50.00 tag axle on it and a 24" sleeper and went back running the West Coast with it. It helped me get out of a bad financial situation and get financially stable again. I remember the scale man in Montana pulling me around back,I asked what is wrong,he said nothing he just wanted to see what kind of man would drive a truck like that coast to coast. I told him a poor one.That R-Model is still around today they made a roll off out of it.Joe D.The girl sitting on my lap said cool story.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25784-what-makes-detroits-run-away-serious-question/page/3/#findComment-129901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyGunner Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Was it a Clark or Timberjack Olive? Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.
