57 bcr Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Here are a couple DM mixers and an old haul truck that are near me. Not sure what the owner does with these trucks. They arenot plated and seem to be moved from time to time. Maybe they are used on the property, I don't know. The mixers have REX bodies and one has an old WIS plate on it. Not to many DM mixers around here, usually DMM's in this area. I think the haultruck is an old International but I'm not 100% sure on ThatThe haul truck looks like a Hough (IH) Payhauler,you're right.

Green Dash Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Here is what looks to be a former MR fire truck turned dust control truck for D.M.D Demolition.Looks like the cab could use some dust control, but I bet it would still clean up nicely.

vision386 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 This 1969 R-611 is definitely not a Chicago R-model but I got a picture of it while it was passing through last year withthe ATHS Route 66 tour. It started at a truck stop in Morris IL during the middle of the week and headed west fromthere. I was fortunate to be in the area that day and to see all the trucks that were starting out on their journey. Thissharp looking R is from Cushing Maine and made the whole trip to Cali and back. The complete story and anotherpicture of this truck is in the December 2012 issue of Wheels of Time.Musta' started at R-Place in Morris? still one of my favorite places to eat out that way,even with T/A buying them out! always had a good meal there! usually some cute waitresses too!........................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

james j neiweem Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Illinois guys. Back in the 60's there was a company called Quality Carriers that had blue B-61's with shinny milk tank trailers hauling milk in Wisconsin and Illinois. I am wondering ifthis is the same company as quality carriers out of Florida. The Florida carrier has some nice new blue pinnacles.

Joe Ditchkus Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 James J Neiweem The Quality Carriers now out of Florida is the old Chemical Leaman Tank Lines. Up until last year my Brother was leased to Quality Carriers. I do not know if it is the same as company you spoke of from Wisconsin.Joe D.

j hancock Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 The Suson is a killer picture! It looks like it has the B53 type heavy front spokes.Wonder what happened to the bulldog on the nose? Did the local kids scavenge it or did the company remove it? Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Popular Post RSD501 Posted November 12, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2013 A couple from the last week or so. Ehlers truck was parked at their dump in mettawa, and then a Stark mack at the salt terminal. An R model that I didn't catch the name of as well. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/42/#findComment-216390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
