umodelnut Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hey Farmer, thought this might interest you. I found this MH612 while looking for U models. I thought you said your MH was a 612 and this truck is a single axle and the same color, thought maybe they came from the same fleet or something? It says Sanners Towing on the little door, I can't see the town but I can see PA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umodelnut Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Maybe you should go check her out, see if she's got a price, maybe take her home, have two trucks with close serial numbers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umodelnut Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Your truck would look good in front of a trailer. Probobly will get a trailer for the U model sometime in the future. I really like the old round nosed single axles. I've got a picture of my U model hooked to one, looked good. It's in my gallery somewhere.

Green Dash Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I've always liked the looks of Martin's Macks and IHs over the years. They lost some of their uniqueness when they stopped using spokes, but it's still a good looking fleet.Saw this Superdog today sitting along Route 22 near Mount Union. The sign in the window is advertising the wood for sale.At one time there were a bunch of Mack cabovers in a lot on Rte 22 and I believe it was in or near Mount Union. Do you know if they're are still there? Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch of rotted F models and a KW or two - most of them with PRISM trucking on the doors. I thought they were scrapped, but heard not long ago that they're still there.

other dog Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Wow, still got winter fronts on a couple..."class of 77"- that's what I drove. They look like they were driven off the road, parked, then forgotten. I remember trip leasing to Aero Trucking. Neat pictures! Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

E9V8 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Do you have more specifics on the location? I will put it on my list of "places to visit" (when I get motivated) They are just east of Huntingdon, PA.If you are in that area, you should visit The Swigart MuseumThe trucks are right along RT22 - about 1/8 to 1/4 mile west of the museum.Red circled area is where the trucks are located.Yellow circled area is the property HQ.

(no guarantee)Those pics look familiar, your original post is probably where I first heard of them. Was there some issue with the owner not wanting to sell or part them but also not wanting to do anything to preserve them?At least 3 of the F's are from Prism Trucking in Dover,DE. I wonder if the owner had them leased on there. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E9V8 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I started a Mack Cabover Yahoo group in April of 2003 and those pictures have been there for almost that long.I think a few others have discussed those trucks, but it has been a while.A friend of mine knows the owner, but those trucks were swiss cheese back when I took those pictures - and I know F models just don't up & stop rotting away on their own.

I drove by there on Thursday just after I took the pic of the Superdog. I saw the Swigart museum (closed for the season). I must have been daydreaming of wimmin hitchhikers when I went by the trucks and I did not have my "Mack detector" turned on! Maybe they rusted away to nothing?

E9V8 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The green F parked under the van trailer is about all you'll see unless you're really looking. The others are either facing away from the road or in some pretty thick brush.A call to my friend confirmed they are all still there as of earlier this month. The Macks that were over around the garage are apparently gone. I vaguely remember two F models - possibly black with stripes - being parked sideways in front of the garage. They were also rough/rusty with singled-out drive tires, etc.If you use the street view on Google maps you can see the green F model, but that might be from a year or two ago.

yarnall Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I took a picture of the light blue mh in Downingtown on 322 when it was for sale about 2years ago. I had already bought my 1985 mh so was not interested, but looked nice. I have pictures of those F models posted in my gallery. They were still there last summer. There is a 1930's Indiana dump truck rotting away next to a building just down the road too. I first saw that in 1990. All those trucks are much worse for wear. The Indiana has a wood framed cab so it is especially bad. He would sell it for 800 or so to keep it out of the scrap pile. It was his fathers.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
