Popular Post 2stacksuperdog Posted May 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2014 There are worse fates that truck could have suffered, but it still just doesn't seem right. I didn't think Superliner donor trucks were so rare that it would be necessary to cut up one in such good condition.They aren't. Theres "rough" superliners everywhere that have good cabs and hoods that can be used. Not ones in good condition(from the pictures) that have V8s and 12 speeds....... 5 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/53/#findComment-245941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RSD501 Posted May 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2014 I was driving into the city a couple of weeks ago and passed this white superliner. It had a lift axle and I think full black steel fenders. Looked a little heavy duty pulling a van trailer. And then I passes Drakes superliner on the way home Friday. It is a 350/9 speed on air ride.I haul for Drake once in awhile, I am going to try and get a picture of all three superliners next time we are on a job. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/53/#findComment-246078 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeterMack Posted May 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2014 Today I saw two Bob Kyler Exc Macks. One R and one Value Liner. Yesterday I was in Geske Asphalt's plant and I sawthis cool old Ford hooked to a dump. I think its their yard dog. I know its not a Mack but was neat to see. Not to manyof those left. They have an R-model also that I will try to get a shot of. 9 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/53/#findComment-246373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 The N model Ford sure looks very truckly! May be a N-1000 probably Cummins powered. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Popular Post PeterMack Posted May 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2014 Here are a couple R-models that I've seen this week and one cool little S-series International that a guy turned into a pickup.This is about the fifth time I've seen it running around the Woodstock area so I'm assuming he lives around there. Got straightpipes on it. Sounded good when he went by. He had a little trailer on today with what looked to be a freshly painted 3406 on the back. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/53/#findComment-247428 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeterMack Posted June 1, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2014 Here is another picture from the Tom Bronge collection. Looks like this was at Grayslake Mack. He thought this truck belongedto somebody that lived in Johnsburg but his memory was a little fuzzy on this one. Good looking old truck though. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/53/#findComment-247614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeterMack Posted June 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2014 During today's adventures I saw Al (57 BCR) at his day job running a 6x6. Although when I went by at 10:15 it lookedlike the trucks were in a holding pattern or it was nap time. Trucks were parked and the drivers feet were up on the dash.After I saw Al it downpoured so I had to divert from the pulverized dirt I was hauling and head west to pick up a load ata pit and while I was there I spotted this Sjostrom & Sons R model. They are located in Rockford. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/53/#findComment-247816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
