Popular Post 57 bcr Posted December 11, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2012 The blue/white Value-Liner of Glenn Raasch(G&D), must have about 1.5 million on it now! I remember him losing the original back rear end at like 900,000 miles and asking N.I. Mack if they could get ahold of the factory and maybe "help him with it",the then-owner of the dealership told him " sure,they'll sell you a new one"! 3 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Lmackattack Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 He put a new cab on The valueliner 3-4 years back. Bought a complete new Cab fron N.I.M with basic the interior. heard it was one of the few R cabs mack had left in stock. I bought his old western interior before he scrapped his old rusted cab. Truck has a 300+ think a 13 speed with camelback spoke rears, solid mount cab.

Popular Post storkmack Posted December 12, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2012 1) Double drop lowboy with 15,000 gal water tank. 2) flatbed with a concrete box culvert. I dont have any pictures with my tractor hooked to the fertilizer tanker. But that kinda covers what I do: flatbed, tanker, dump, hopper and lowboy normally within 150 miles of Chicago. -Brad 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/#findComment-150729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
storkmack Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 A rare "western series" Macungie-built RD (a Value-Liner replacement).This truck had the normal RD grille when I got it 8+ years ago. I added that grille and bumper to get that "Western" look. -Brad Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/#findComment-150730 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmackattack Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 To be honest I saw more Mack's around NYC than Chicago. We still have lots of new Mack's but NYC had more older and heavy Mack's.

slpwlker Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thread is called Chicago R Models not Chicago U models. Yeah they learned faster then the N.E. guys.
