umodelnut Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Your Chicago area (retired) R model of the day goes to...100_3079.JPG100_3078.JPG Bernardi Cartage. This truck was being run everyday up until the mid '90's or so.237/6 speed 4.17 rears on camelback.This truck along with the rest of the Bernardi fleet,hauled many a ton for Meyer material Co. over the years.It was a good runner in its day.Needs a good cab & ?,but all in all,complete.I'll take it!

RSD501 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Did the Alan Smith truck burn up in a shop fire? That used to be a DBC lowboy truck. N. Il Towing used to have the other DBC super liner, I believe.

Il Towing used to have the other DBC super liner, I believe.You are correct,sir! Sad but true. Alan had passed away by that time.Maybe a good thing (if you know what I mean).I don't think his heart would have made it ,if he witnessed that happening.

Is this one a quadbox trans? A little info would be helpful on these trucks being i dont know much about themYes,mackman the B-815 used the END864 255hp naturally asperated MACK V-8.I think there were only like 220 units produced,so its a rare breed.I have never seen one with anything but a quadbox,as they were a "Heavy Hauler". That paticular B-815 of Kamp's,was repowered with a 237 (if I'm not mistaken) by an earlier owner,though.
