Mackdaddy2030 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I was out to breakfast in Kirkland this morning and saw a really sweet red R model pulling a red Coras dump that said Dale's Trucking from Naperville. I couldn't get my phone out quick enough to take a pic.Has anyone seen this one?

Lmackattack Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 I saw this on Google images. I don't think I've ever seen an RD with a sleeper.Has anyone else?I have seen a few rd's with 36" sleepers. What was odd is of the 5 or 6 I have seen 2 were car haulers with the rack over the top of the cab. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/70/#findComment-267233 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year hasn't been as busy as last fall when I only had one day off in 7 weeks, but it's been pretty close. The weather and slow sales have slowed us down. They are saying maybe next week, but I think we are done for the year. Way earlier then normal. We usually go into the first week of December. And the Rossi pic is AWESOME!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/70/#findComment-267299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchhopper Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Went to Woodstock today with our head mechanic and another driver and drove one of the two CH trucks welch bros bought at an auction up there not bad trucks one with a 427 the other with a 350 neither had over 325,000 on the odometer. Not a fan of CH trucks but rode nice with full air ride aluminum wheels all the way around nice clean interiors the one I drove back was all set up to pull a powder wagon.

Mackdaddy2030 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'm not saying that having days off when it's crazy cold doesn't upset me, especially when hauling liquid, lolSounds like I will be working out of town most of the winter so I'll take whatever time off I can right now.

It belongs to a towing company and it isstill out earning. I took a picture of it out at Iowa 80 a couple years ago, and I borrowed a picture from a friend who said he gothis doors blown off by this truck.

Popular Post Mackdaddy2030 Posted November 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2014 Was out running around today and stopped by Geske's. The sun was not cooperating with me so these were the best pics I could get right now. I forgot to ask my friend that is the mechanic what year it was, but I think he told me before that it was an '84. I'll have to double check on that. It's also cool that it's hooked to an Axle trailer. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/70/#findComment-267550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
