Theres a blast from the past remember how big material service wasMackey,remember when Vulcan & Material Service both had ready mix in the Chicago area?Did Material Service ever have Macks? I remember when they were in Dundee behind Palumbo and they had a ton ofGMC General 6X6's. Seem's like a driver or two got killed in the pit on 31 about 15 years ago if I remember right. Theywere standing outside of their trucks and got hit by a loader or a haul truck. Al, do you remember that, and does thatsound right? I have a couple pictures of MS trucks. An old IH that was at a show in Mchenry in 2009, an FWD that wassitting in Ottawa on rt 71 for awhile. Last time I went by the drum was still there but the truck went missing. I also havean MS mixer that was styled after a GMC Brigadier. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/68/#findComment-265880 Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Not too familiar with the Joliet area there,Bill. Sounds cool though having a MACK sign the shop!) Heard of Newkirk though. A '55 B-61 My cousin had,was a former Newkirk R-M tractor.I took all the paperwork out of the glove box (authority,carrier certicate,etc.) as my cousin was going to TOSS THEM!
