james j neiweem Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 57 BCR: I wonder if you or anyone from Northern ILL remembers a tank truck outfit that used to travel through Wheeling Illinois in the late 50's or early 60's. I think it was called Rogers tank lines. They ran LJ's with twin tank trailers. I believe they hauled petro products. Used to spy them along with Celli and Meyer Macks while waiting for the bus. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28784-lj-mack-tractors/page/2/#findComment-393016 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey James,funny you should mention that. Charlie Case's LJ was in fact a Rogers Cartage truck. He told me he went down to their terminal and they had 4 or 5 LJ's out in front for sale. He picked that one. I was always going to ask him if Rogers had put the WHITE rear axle in it,or did he?

They had seen everything , plus! That's what made the truck so valuable to me. I got to spend a lot of time talking with them. One time we had a show going on and Florence said Charlie really didn't feel like going. Florence told Charlie," We have to go,Al Rhino Is going to be there"! That just made my day. I will never forget that. My mom want's to sell my late Father's LJ's Both 53's. Single axial. Hard noise. Dad restored them as best he could. One looks great to my eye's, the other just average. One has a replacement 290 Cummins. The original engine is still there and ran when removed maybe 10 to 15 years ago. Dad just felt the original Cummins was under powered. The other has the original Mack diesel engine. Both trucks are in the Greenville SC area. Not sure of the price yet. I'm surfing the web for ideas. I'm new here. Not sure if you can contact me or not. I'll try and look back later. Both trucks have either the duplex or triplex transmissions. Not a truck guy and can't remember for sure.

Vladislav Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yup, as said above. Many people are usually looking for an old rig on this site. But putting an add with no pictures is about a worthless deal.
