Lmackattack Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 If I recall the last batch of trucks Greco bought was in the mid 80's about 7 years ago I stopped in to check out the 2 rs700l they had for sale...at the time they had 1 or 2 very low milage R models just sitting up on jack stands not being used. Think they just had them for spare trucks?They seam to have been doing a lot of trucking lately, not sure if they have been busy with road work or other projects....?

2stacksuperdog Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 This is another Tom B. photo. He said this photo was given to him, but he could not remember who gave it to him or when it was taken. He recalled that this was at a local truck show probably when this unit was new, so if anybodycan figure out the year of this truck that is probably when this was taken.Thats just an awesome truck Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/39/#findComment-205974 Share on other sites More sharing options...

umodelnut Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 And finally for the end of the Greco pictures here is a former Greco B-81 owned by Mr. Big Iron Tom Bronge.He purchased this truck from them and kept the name on the door. This has been Tom's weekend cruiser for atleast 10 years know. The truck is a 66 and he found a 67 Talbert to keep the rear end from hopping off theground. Has a non turbo Mack V-8, quad box, winch, and I think 60,000 rears. Has quite a stack a leaf springsunder it. I know if he hits a paint stripe that has been painted to thick on the road it about puts him through theroof. I think he also told me the truck alone weighs 23,000lbs empty. Other than the new pipes, rear fenders anda few cosmetics this truck is basically all original, oh and the hidden train horns that he likes to scare people with.Theres Mr. Rhino leading the way with the BCR! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/39/#findComment-206237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
