Popular Post PeterMack Posted December 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2014 Saw a couple Macks today. A tough looking R-model pulling a Brady trailer, a Del Toro RD and an RD conveyor that I was delivering CA-7 to that blocked the whole street for me so I had to back out and then back in from the other side. I hate housing projects. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/73/#findComment-270795 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate housing projects.That red R model is an old Harry Kuhn truck. The same guy has been running it for years.

ranchhopper Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Anyone know what ever happened to Ronny Edwards superliner last I saw it the truck was sitting in a yard on 23 just outside Marengo across from the paver brick plant. I remember in the spring of 1980 when he rolled into road materials in Dundee with it he used to park there someone told me he died a ways back the truck does not sit where it was the last time I saw it. I remember it had a 350 in it he used to really roll with that thing I believe he was number one on the list at road materials he went by the name of tracker on the CB.

I had not heard that he passed away. He got rid of the truck at the height of the exporting. It was shot, he would come by our shop for some service help. My Dad ran with him back in the late 70's.

storkmack Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 About a month ago I took this picture of this R-model that a farmer near me owns. He was picking up some ag-lime.They have been trying to sell me that truck lately. E-7, Mack 9 sp on Taper leaf, pretty sure the frame rails have been replaced. Powers higher than me have stated that there is an Antique Moratorium at Stark Service. Guess I'm gonna have a cut thru the red tape and find a loop hole around that one. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/73/#findComment-271229 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mackdaddy2030 Posted December 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2014 I found some pictures of my '98 DM 690S. This was my second 6 wheeler. I sold this back in '09. A municipality from IN bought it and was gonna turn it into a plow truck. I guess they decided to buy two used trucks instead of one brand new one. I didn't take many pictures back then. I know I have some others somewhere I'll try and find. Hopefully I can find the pics of my first 6 wheeler, '74 DM. I might try and stop by DW Nelson and see if they still have it. 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/73/#findComment-271451 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeterMack Posted December 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2014 My uncle caught one of Prairie's pink mixers in Bloomington on a job site he was on. I saw the pink mixer that is based out ofBridgeview a couple years ago at 65th and Harlem. I also have the First Gear pink Prairie mixer. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/73/#findComment-271748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
