philatruck Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Forgot to mention that Mount Construction in Berlin NJ has an Ex Miller and Sons Paving Rd Dump truck. Seen it about a year ago. Been seeing a lot of Cat Trucks from them, I guess they like them (until they end up in the shop with the Maxxforce engines ).-Mike D looks like Buckley got some equipment in their yard, they are working on the Boluevard at the Pennypack circle. Kinda cool to see some old equipment in your yard again.

j hancock Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hopefully not all the blame for your back problems are related to Mack camel back suspension.

xdudebrahx Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks guys. The back pain wasn't related to the mack. Just bad genetics. Mike, I did wait until the pain was unbearable. It sneaks up on ya fast. I went from 6 days a week at the gym and taking hikes with the girlfriend to coming home from work and crawling into bed to escape the pain. Anything other than laying down was hell. But I'm back to my old self and it feels good to move around again!

Popular Post RAHJMZ Posted June 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2015 Here's one for you guys... This is my brothers truck (the one he actually drives) - Mack CL with a 460 (turned WAY up) and an 18 speed. He's got 2 CL's, two Autocar triaxles (AF's, I think), a Superliner Triaxle, and two 6-wheelers (R and RD).He's from Bucks County, GRZ is the name of his company, and most of the trucks are bright orange (one Autocar and the Superliner are not).He used to have Maroon and Tan trucks (CZ Lawn And Landscape) in the late 90's, early 2000's - An R-model tractor, 2 CH tractors, and about a dozen R, RD, and CL triaxles). He also had a pair of B61's (tractor and 6 wheeler), an LJ-SWX tandem, and a heavy B873 with a 330 Cummins, quad box, and 50 ton winch behind the cab on 24" rubber (that and one of his newest CL's were lost in a fire that destroyed his shop and ultimately resulted in shutting down the business)Jerry 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27737-the-philly-construction-thread/page/21/#findComment-294632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
