Lmackattack Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 I wish I had a picture of the time I got pulled over and taken to the scales. I had 3" stone in my trailer and it was about 3' high in the center. Pit scale receipt from 10 min ago showed I was still under legal limit by 2k. The cop didn't care he thought he had me. Weighed me gross and was suprised i was legal...then he had me back off the scale and pull forward again but this time tallied up my axel weights one at a time...then went looking for my "short hauling sticker" ....an IL thing ...... sticker.... He was laughing about it later but he said he had never seen a load sticking that far up and still be legal...luckily we parted ways on a friendly note...

Hell, its not even in Nigeria(yet)!.....Maybe its looking forward to the boat ride? 2 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

storkmack Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Al, Brad that truck is in Jim's garage and you guessed it. It is currently awaiting a boat ride, I think he had to fix the trans before for it leaves for warmer weather.I would like the passenger seat out of that truck. I bugged the guy that Jim bought it from , but he wasn't bagging the leaves I was raking. I will take the nice, grey, seat and a half and I will replace it with a nice regular passenger seat. I better track Jim down. By the way, how about a self portrait of you and the Bulldog you were driving today? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/22/#findComment-168455 Share on other sites More sharing options...

storkmack Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 That Granite has no balls but I will admit it rides damn good for a short wheel base truck.Would rather drive the Granite than one of our narrow cab T800's any day. I think that is an easy one. -Brad Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/22/#findComment-168496 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 57 bcr Posted March 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2013 Your Chicago R model of the day belongs to..... The Belding Co. of Chicago.This former heavy-hauling outfit took this R model and its load from outside of Chicago,and delivered it to the USSR! Wonder what the rate was on that one? Probably didn't get a backhaul either! Should have read more about the details of this haul.I think the truck featured a 237 Maxidyne and a 6 speed.Typical tri-axle lowboy truck today-at least double the horsepower,triple the gears! 5 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Anthony is a good kid despite what his brother may say. His first week on the road I had him hauling a 12 foot wide box culvert up through the city (Chicago).
