Popular Post RSD501 Posted April 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2013 I went by Northern Illinios mack today, and I the superliner I asked about earlier was parked out back. If I am not mistaken, this is the ex-Doetsch truck that was the sister to the Alan Smith truck that burned up. There was also a nice looking service truck, I have always really liked r model service truck. The Tanzillo pictures are cool, I hadn't seen the Pete since he got it. It really turned out nicely. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I got this R at a Northwest ILL ATHS meeting a couple years ago. Don't know the spec's or who ownedit. Nice looking truck though. I remember it was in Wheels of Time for sale and have not seen it since.BCR Al, do you remember anything else about this truck?That truck belonged to Enterprise Ready-Mix (Meyer bought them in '88),O'Learys owned it then sold it to Scott Swanson (pictured-who actually started driving the truck when he was 18) He restored it.Took it to a few shows,then sold it to a farmer from Wisconsin.It was a '73 R685ST.

RSD501 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I was at the dump and saw a Herkys R today. Their trucks are pretty plain, but here it is. And I know the G&D truck has been posted before, but I was messing with my phone heading into the dump and managed to get a picture. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RSD501 Posted April 17, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2013 And I noticed this truck about a year ago. Apparently the owned passed away. The guy that owns the storage yard has acquired the truck. He is looking to sell it. He wants $15,000. I didn't talk to him, a friend of mine did. He said it is an '80, v-8 with camelback. I took these pics on Saturday, and didn't want to get to close without permission. It looked like a solid mount cab. No idea of trans or rears, the guy doesn't know much about the truck. He said it isn't equipped with front brakes. Is that possible?? Anybody know anything about this truck? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSD501 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I really want the trailer. A buddy is interested in the truck. Little to old and long for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 that is nice shape,it is very possible not to have front brakes depending on the date it was built,as I recall,anything built after Jan.1,1980 had to have front brakes,anything prior was optional on a 3 axle tractor.

Was there a reason guys didn't order them with brakes? A weight saving thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I didn't know that. Was there a reason guys didn't order them with brakes? A weight saving thing?Alot of the old school guys(me included)don't like the front brakes because they way they handle in slick conditions. They used to put front brake limiting valves on trucks,a flipper switch on the dash in most cases,so you could control them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
