57 bcr Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Was 91 the last year for the old style rd hood?Near as I can tell,mid-year '91 was the introduction of the sloped-hood RD. I have seen '91's either way. 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Mackdaddy2030 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 A friend passed these pictures to me of this Superliner. I know Macknutt had listed this truck for sale before, as this guy is a friendof his. I believe the truck is still for sale. I don't know the price or specs though. I think the owner is dealing with an illness and thatswhy its for sale.I know PFA runs mostly MACK, but I have never seen this in their yard. I think they only pull tanks. I'll have to keep a closer eye when I drive by tomorrow.

I think the owner is dealing with an illness and thatswhy its for sale.My son looked that truck over good when he picked up the '82 V8 single axle Superliner we bought from him last year. Nice truck but has been sitting quite awhile. Looks like someone has moved it to a different location and cleaned it up some. The owner had cancer and was no longer able to drive.

The R model with the floaters sure looks like an old Parking Lot Services truck.

Popular Post RSD501 Posted November 1, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2015 Some photos I have had on my phone and never posted. I saw the superliner at Prairie, and it looked pretty clean. The 6 wheeler I have seen a few times on the northshore. Vulcan DM in Elk Grove and a R model I saw at Vulcan Grayslake 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/104/#findComment-309570 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackdaddy2030 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Did Curran buy Royer buy still keep them as Royer? I had heard that but didn't know if their was any truth to it.Yes they did. I think about 5 years ago. Though from what I heard they didn't really buy them. Royer owed them so much money that a deal was made that they just took Royer over. If you look closely there is a small Curran sticker of the trucks.

Royer owed them so much money that a deal was made that they just took Royer over. If you look closely there is a small Curran sticker of the trucks.I don't think too much of them. A few years back I wanted them to pave my driveway. They came out, gave me a quote, it soundedreasonable so I asked when they could do it. They said they could get to it in a month. I said great. Well a few phone calls and a year later it never got done. The guy called me on a Saturday morning a year after I called them and asked if I was still interested. Isaid yeah, a year ago! Then I hung the phone up. Assholes! I won't ever do business with them. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/104/#findComment-309735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
