57 bcr Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Michigan had to be the biggest user of Superliners with 3406's in them. I remember back in the day, in the Michigan Truck Trader advertised several brandy new Superliners with either E-9 Or 3406B power. 18F,44R. Mich. Specials.

Heavy specs - double frames. I remember 5 axle semi plates being good for 72,000,while the plates on a Mich. Train read 165,000. That was in the late '70's.

PeterMack Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 No Mack's today, just thought I'd take a little time to showcase the awesome dump truck drivers we have in northern IL.The burnt one I saw on 20 in Hanover Park a couple months ago, the one on its side my Dad saw last week on 47 onthe north side of Huntley, and the yellow one happened this week out on 90. The burnt one may not have been thedrivers fault, maybe, but the other two look to be driver failure. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/110/#findComment-317498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 A friend passed these to me a year ago, just forgot to post them. These two trucks were sitting over the line in Wis. The exhaust system on the MR doesn't look complicated at all :-( I say chop it and straight pipe it! Probably save a 1000 pounds. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/110/#findComment-317974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PeterMack Posted January 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2016 I borrowed these pics from the ATHS Facebook page. The guy that took them said this LT runs around Arthur IL which is straight southof Chicago. Down in Amish country. I guess it is used for a local small demo company. Would be neat to see running down the road. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/110/#findComment-318192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 do all your tires still hold air? That has to be one of the worst scrapyards to go in...how much is scrap down now? pretty terrible last time I wentNot sure what the price was. Took some to Milwaukee in the morning then General in the afternoon. I think I got at least twentyflat tires in there. I know I only have 18, but I figure two more had got flattened twice just for good measure. That yard leaves littleto be desired. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/110/#findComment-318891 Share on other sites More sharing options...
