storkmack Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Spotted all 3 of these in about a 30 minute span a couple weeks ago. The Superliner is parked at Harry's murder Service in Summit and the DM and R belong to Advance On-Site Concrete. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/48/#findComment-233185 Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 There was one of those at N.I. Mack a few years back.Had an awesome panel of switches and valves for all the equipment (as plows do). There was one switch marked "BLAST" next to the auger and spinner control. I thought now there's something to have to get rid of those unruly 4 wheelers tailgating your ass!

bulldogmack58 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Was looking around the internet the other day and came across the new First Gear 1/64th scale Sid Kamp R-model.Looks nice, but it looks like nobody's giving it away. $70 and some change for this one.http://www.3000toys.com/catalog/detail.aspx?itemfind=first%20gear60-0238I've been waiting forever for one of these companies to come up with a good 1/64 R model and what do we get? the same old tooling just done smaller!!!!! For shit sake people update the f'ing wheels or something please!!!! Maybe even come up with an updated cab.

james j neiweem Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Estes bought a bunch of Mack Visions and they were mostly used out west. It seems that some of them have transferred east. Havn't seen any newer Mack pinnacles for them. Seems like they are giving KW and shacker a try as well as IH.

RSD501 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Here are a couple more pictures borrowed from the Tom Bronge collection of the Alan Smith Superliner.He had before and after bunk pictures. Was a beautiful truck with a hopped up V8. A shame it burned to the ground That is the first truck i drove when I had my cdl permit 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/48/#findComment-235804 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmackattack Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 This is a former Tanzillo CH that is now owned by a friend of mine who just spruced it up a bit for his demo company.Painted it in his colors and just got it on the road. They were doing an inside demo in this job and there was a bobcatdriving into the trailer at the dock.I saw him in the yard today when I was picking up their 320 excavator. They did some nice work to get it back into shape. Its sister truck is still owned by Tanzillo. We just had it painted black and silver a few weeks back.

Superdog Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Jerry Thompson sent me pics of that truck when it first was for sale,i'd sure like to know what he sold it to the Nigerians for. I thought he was kinda high and didn't care for the fuller super 10,so I made an offer,but was turned down.

Superdog Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 What burns me is 9 times outta 10 they'll sell to the exporters cheaper.I can't remember exact numbers but lets just say he was asking 23k,I offer 15k,he sits on it ,exporter comes along and offers 10k,but instead of calling back and ask if I'll still give 15,he sells to the exporter cause he's tired of looking at it. I'm not saying that's what happened in this case,but has happened to me before,they'll sell to an exporter or scrapper before giving you a 2nd chance.
