mackman1965 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I know this is probaly common knowledge but why do the V-8 Macks have that square air cleaner? And why did the regular Mack air cleaner change at some point in the seventies from the one that had like a stack with the circular piece on top to the one with out the stack piece . And to confuse me a little more if possible it seems like the high stack was used again in the late 80s on some Mack models. Something I always wondered about Quote Local 282 Union Service Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27737-the-philly-construction-thread/page/8/#findComment-166913 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackcl96 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Nice!Sooooo...which is it? Is it hauling water or diesel fuel? Those trucks are setup for the milling crews each division has one800 gal of off road fuel and the other tank is waterAlso the front discharge port is so they can continue milling and not to have to stop for water Quote Thanks for hearing me out.You can have the soap box now---------JIM Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27737-the-philly-construction-thread/page/8/#findComment-167380 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are a MBE for Hire company.I don't recall seeing them running a granite. You're right on the rest and they also have a decent looking blue KW triaxle, a purple Pete triaxle and a blue 379exhd triaxle.

They did manufacture & sell a ridiculous amount of them, but nothing will make them look good.

yarnall Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I wouldn't mind having #505, the Autocar next to the Diamond Reo. I am pretty sure those Windsor Service AC's were actually used by Windsor Service back in the day. They were restored by Art Cooper before Windsor Service was bought by H and K and went along with the company.

hicrop10 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Mke,they had a whole shit load of those Autocars.I think some of them had gliders put under them.They most likely still have some more of them as job trucks or in the quarries.

philatruck Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) They did have a lot of autocars at one time, but they all fell apart. The cabs would rot near the top of the windshield. I bet you can stick your arm through the rot gap on #505. Most of them got patched. They still use them as site trucks, and there are a few up in Bethlehem. They also have a fixed up and nice looking DK that they use a fuel truck.Mike D, you should see what they do with their pickups, they have one fairly new (2008-10) F250 completelty stripped down, just bed, cab, and hood.
