yarnall Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Dunn must have kept a bunch of their old stuff. There is an AC coal truck near me in PA that the guy wants $40,000. I think it was advertised on here before. It was definitely on Ebay and in the Wheels of time. I didn't know there was also an AB and CH. That is a great bunch of trucks.

Green Dash Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I don't think the blue R model is the correct shade of blue to be an ex-GP. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I don't think the blue R model is the correct shade of blue to be an ex-GP.I agree,Jim. I think PeterMack is correct.It looks to be an old S.E.T. Enviromental tractor.There was a few old GP tractors running around here at one time.I bet they're long gone though.

57 bcr Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Took these pictures today of a very unique B-61. A Roger Meyer truck from Palatine IL. I have to thank Mike Meyer for letting me snap a few pics.This was a truck that was all about being lightweight and easy to work on, with I believe Hendrickson fenders for quick removal. There were a bunchof these that ran around a little before my time, would have been neat to see in their heyday. And for good measure I got a picture of Mike's currentR-model daily driver.You got some good shots there,Brian!

Hendrickson fenders? look like they fit pretty good,though look a little "odd"....................................MarkI often wondered about the Hendrickson connection on the fenders also,Mark.Then I remembered what model "Hank" that they could be from.A short,sloped-hooded model that resembled a C model or even an S model KW of the day. 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

And for good measure I got a picture of Mike's currentR-model daily driver.One of the Meyer Bros. had a single axle years ago with a Clariben hood on it also.Roger could sure shave the pounds off of a B model.Air start (motorcycle battery for the lights),gutted doors (no regulators),Plexiglas side windows held up with a thumbscrew set-up.You name it,if it didn't have to be on the truck to function,Roger took it off! He put all that extra weight in his wallet! $$$$$$$ 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

57 bcr Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Mike said a few of their trucks got exported, guess there are some lightweight Macks in Nigeria now.I know their B C R went there.

mackey58 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Well you have to be level or close to level.they are nice if you dump and then are stuck .you can push yourself out.I have spread stone with them they kinda tend to rock.I do love my quarter frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Quarter frame meaning the tandems stay on the ground I presume. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storkmack Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 This R-model looks like an o/o pulling a John Brady trailer. I don't think this is a company truck,but I could be wrong.That sure looks like an old Harry W. Kuhn Mack to me. -Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I just think the short trailers you guys run in Illinois is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
