Nobody454 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 yep Mark drives the Pete usually. Tom likes his old R model. Pretty funny, you'd think the boss would drive the newer truck!

Nobody454 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 ruffalo's superliner sold for around $10K I think at their auction. Probably well worth it!

james j neiweem Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Mewin I am guessing they changed rd hood in 92. In my opinion you have the better looking hood. They should have offered both after 92. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/56/#findComment-252653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Mack's early RD had a standard R model hood. Mack did a update to the RD line up in the early 90's. these later RD macks had a sloped hood.both were considered "R" models but the hoods were way different. You have the better looking of the two in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/56/#findComment-252665 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeterMack Posted July 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2014 On my way out to Walcott for the truck show on Saturday I stopped by the 2&92 junkyard in Milan IL to do a littleshopping and while I was there I spotted an R-model rolloff for sale there for 6K, was a runner, a CL that lookedlike it needed a little help, and R and CH that had seen better days and a non Mack, but cool in my opinion 430013 letter shit spreader. Had a Cummins in it, they wanted 4K for it. It ran, the interior was a little musty and theysaid it had some sort of throttle issue but a pretty solid truck. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/56/#findComment-252951 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 How was Walcott had to put 2 hoist hoses on my truck so that shot that day never made any of those shows so far damitIt was ok. Superdog has the Mack pictures posted up. Alot of the same trucks as years past and it seems like truck attendance was downbut still a decent time. July 25,26,27 there is a decent show in Rantoul IL called the Top Gun Large Car shootout. It's held at the old Air ForceBase. That one wouldn't be to bad a drive for you. I would suggest to go Friday or Saturday because as soon as they hand out the trophiesat 11 on Sun the place clears out. Really only needs to be a two day show.

Popular Post PeterMack Posted July 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2014 Saw quite a few Mack's today. Saw Builders twin stack single axle RD service truck. It was orange and black with Orange Crushon the door but they gave it a repaint. Saw the Julie K RD (Berger Exc) which is driven by a guy who had one of the cleanest Pete'swith the entire dump trailer polished out until the company sold the truck and trailer. He said if this truck needs a polish he just getsa new can of Krylon. Saw the K-Five water truck. Saw the Meyer mixers with the new Ozinga sticker on the door. Also saw a CTCRB and CH and a Markaty CH. Meyer was also running their old Euclid with a screaming Detroit. Al did you ever get to run that one? 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/56/#findComment-253834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
