Superdog Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 nice looking Valueliner.Used to be several running around here,a handful left. The local telephone company has a really sweet single axle that came out of CA,E6-350 with a 13 speed. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/45/#findComment-221313 Share on other sites More sharing options...

storkmack Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Took this picture over the summer of this sharp R-model on the scale at ADM in Mendota. I usually see this truckrunning around the I-80 I-39 area. I've seen it pulling a dump trailer before also and have been next to it at a light,it's a clean truck. There is also a really nice single stack, black Superliner running around down that way but Ican't ever seem to get a picture of it.The black Superliner you speak of would be Jim Miller from Mazon,IL. , you can't get a picture of him cuz he always on the move.

j hancock Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Maybe we should get a Winfall wimmmin to slow him for a picture of his Superliner.That's what OD does, he slows down but never stops...

Popular Post PJhauling Posted December 25, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) 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.My dad thinks it was 67 or 68 he said the had them when he came home from the army. The fiberglass hoods were out but Greco still bought the steel nose trucks Edited December 25, 2013 by P.J. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/45/#findComment-222990 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Over the holidays I was at my aunt and uncles where I borrowed some pictures. These are all pictures of pictures but you willget the idea. My uncle bought this R new in either 86/87. Had a 300/6. In the first couple pics the truck was brand new, then he gotit lettered and eventually added front budd wheels. One day in the gravel pit a loader backed into the passenger side and crushedthe air cleaner and did some other damage so the R was painted grey. He sold it and bought the grey CH which is still runningaround on its third owner now. The R was turned into a six wheeler by the second owner and I'm not sure if he still has it or not.Your family has had some very sharp trucks over the years. I think your uncles R looked best in red with the spokes and all that paint offset by the chrome bumper.How about some Hendrickson pics?Why????????????????????Some of these fleets also ran Hendricksons and there is an ongoing thread on here devoted to them. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/45/#findComment-223375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
