Nobody454 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 usually when we wreck a house, the company truck takes the scrap. This last house, the boss had me take it in...he wasn't happy when he figured out the check I brought back was less than he paid me to take it there. hardly worth separating it at this point.

Mackdaddy2030 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I was at Shanklin's a couple weeks ago and took these pics. Can't remember the name of the company with the red RD. I took a picture of a picture lolThen a cool local First Gear R modelAnd orange and white Lowe truck was just traded in while I was a there. Might be the same as the one above. Not sure how many RDs they had. They bought an '07 CXP day cab. I guess they made those at the end of '07 and it had a MP7, but without emmisions. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/111/#findComment-319237 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackdaddy2030 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I was in Jacsonville FL today and stopped by a dealer to check out a Superliner and found these three gems from Chicago. 1 '96 and 2 '00 RDs from Marina Cartage. They were in really rough shape. One even had a hole through the floor. I never found out how many miles they had on them, but they wanted $15,999 for the '00. You can still see the name and phone number on the doors if you look just right. And you can tell one of them was orange at one time so idk who's it was originally. They said they got them from an auction in GA. Check out the custom "ram air" exhaust on the one truck. And here I thought I wouldn't have any pictures from down here to post to the Chicago thread, lol 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/111/#findComment-319736 Share on other sites More sharing options...
storkmack Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm gonna guess and say that the one that had Orange paint also had 24.5 tires. There was an outfit that hauled garbage that had 2 tone orange and yellow Macks that I believe Marnia bought out. I cant remember what there name was, but I remember seeing there trucks at Chicago Mack down on Archer ave.

ranchhopper Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yes the ram air exhaust wonder how fast the turbo was spinning without oil when they were hauled down there on a flatbed. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/111/#findComment-319795 Share on other sites More sharing options...

storkmack Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 When I was a kid it was always fun to go down there and look at used trucks. Barberra, Carry, Bulkmatic to name a few. Dad bought some old Carry trucks over the years from a fella named George Risckus. They hooked us up with a "body shop" to paint an R Dad had bought. We went to go get it and it was the wrong Orange and the wrong stripes, not a problem they said, we can fix it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/111/#findComment-319953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
