xdudebrahx Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I see there's a New York and a Connecticut thread. I'm curious to see if anyone has some old pictures or stories from in and around Philly. I'm just in the mood for a history lesson.

hicrop10 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Sorry guys I don't have any pic right now will have to dig them out.We were involved in the construction business in the philly area for about 80 years.Me and my two brothers gave it up around 2007.The work had pretty much dried up and the work that was out there didn't bring any money.Then you had to fight to get paid on top of that.I could never figured it out,when we had everything paid and owned noone nothing,we would lose jobs to guys that onwed nothing but a pile of payment books.Well I will get some of those pic out and try to post them.

David Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 The DM800 came from Key Contracting. I believe they were out of CT. The truck was painted light yellow over a blue frame. Paul sold it to a landscape materials supplier in the Lancaster area.-JohnThe DM went to Ned Foley. I have the winch and fenders. That's why I wondered who had owned it originally.
