DM897SX Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 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.Any more pictures or info on the DM800?

RFCDrum Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I like the rain cap on the turnout. Side roll over tarps interesting. Must be fun standing in the tack having to roll the tarp over.

Moosejockey Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Don't stand in the tack to unroll the tarp. No reason to unroll the tarp till you get back to the plant. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27737-the-philly-construction-thread/page/9/#findComment-174603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
