aw12345 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 My heart has always belonged to Volvos. Grew up around those trucks is all my dan and his brother ever ran.

jakebrake86 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 all this talk bout GMC's makes me want to go to West Memphis,Ar & see if my granddad's ole 74' GMC 9500 S/A Tractor w/ 671 (238) Detroit 5&2 tranny belly blower exhaust double frame & 23k r/a is still @ his old buddies shop .my pop traded "LIL Jim" for a Kawaski 4wd 4 wheeler in 2004 a year before he passed . i didnt speak to him for a month over that . that truck was in the family business & on the farm since i could remember & for so long that it was 1 of my favorite trucks. & besides next to old dog & a 1370 Case Tractor it was 1 of 1st things i learned out to drive . used to like to hear that ole 238 LOPE ON A COLD WINTER MORNING . NEVER Had to use Starting fluid on him just make sure he had a HOT 8D Battery in the Battery Box & that ole 238 would come to life . last time i seen it it was sitting behind his old buddies shop on Hwy 70 that was 2 yrs ago when i went to Heartland Equipment just outside of W. Memphis w/ a buddy to pick up parts for a 1566 IH Black Stripe Farmall. just hope lil jim wasnt sold for scrap . i may ride over the bridge this weekend to see if its still there . my curosity is up now . You're talking about my neck of the woods now. I'm in Helena, about an hour south of West Memphis. I buy my 24.5 recap waste haulers from Kyle at Hart tire service next door to Heartland so I'm up there all the time. You wouldn't be talking about shop on 70 that used to have all kinds of trucks and equipment out front are you? I know there was a steel hood r model dump truck and a u model, but I think they all went to the scrap yard a couple of years ago. I don't recall seeing a truck like you're talking about, though. Hope it's still there. Quote Jake Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26016-whats-your-favorite-non-mack/page/5/#findComment-148448 Share on other sites More sharing options...

refusegetter Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 My favorite would be the truck I'm most comfy in, we've got a 1997 autocar acl tri axle rolloff. Cummins m11 plus, 8ll, American roll off hoist, and 600k+ miles. IMO it's one of the last real trucks.

Milaca Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 As for new trucks, I drool at the sight of the retro-looking International Lonestars.As for old trucks, I like the oddballs like Studebaker and Diamond-REO but also like various models of International Harvesters being that I grew up with them.

57 bcr Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Throw a 237 in there. Actually,Vinny,a 237 isn't that far behind the NTC-335 in torque,and way ahead in reliability.But it is one of those trucks I always wanted to own.I was just lucky to find an original '70 with just shy of 400,000 miles on it!
