james j neiweem Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Did'nt realize there were that many nice Celli macks left. I see an R in the background with a Gold bulldog and some CH's. Every body on this web site chip in 50 dollars and we can save them all.

storkmack Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Went down and looked at them. All they need to be put to work is tires. All three have the cleanest, unabused interiors I've ever seen. If I had drivers for them they would be here. $14K each is what they are asking and all have recent Majors on the engines. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/81/#findComment-282586 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeterMack Posted March 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2015 Went out to Sublette today for the toy, truck, tractor show. There was one new Mack in the truck show that was brought by a dealer and acouple nice brand X'ers. Saw a neat re-powered Deere with a Detroit in it. Ended up buying the Kamp 1/64th First Gear R-model, and what looks to be a promotional candy dish? From the Charles Lenz & Company Excavating and Scavenger service. Had an AC Mackon it. Said they were on 55th street in Cicero. I think they are long gone now. Anybody remember them? 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/81/#findComment-282746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PeterMack Posted March 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2015 Took some RR5 to the Mchenry lock and dam today. Saw an RD conveyor truck with a Super Mix Granite dumping into it.Got a blurry shot of Mchenry Excavating's R model. I think that's their name, truck sits along 31. Took a shot of the craneunloading a flatbed. I actually had to dump where the crane was sitting and the Deere with the swampstick was placingthe rock in the river. They just had me dump off to the side for a round while they were unloading. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/81/#findComment-282855 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mackdaddy2030 Posted March 18, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2015 Saw this heavy spec R model today at the Milan Township building in Dekalb County.

I think he just graduated from driving school, lolBy the way, BJ showed my pics of your trailer. Looks really good.Been running with BJ all week. Hauling dirt with him and a few others tomorrow. Thanks on the trailer, took about 45 hours to get that done.Went way better than expected, but now I'm pulling the steel dump so the aluminum is just sitting there looking pretty at the moment. Thatred R at Rockford Mack used to belong to Herron topsoil. We used to haul pulverized dirt for them before they closed up. If you know or seeJimmy Burke that works with us he has Herron's old Pete. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/81/#findComment-283116 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a boat load of Marina trucks hauling contaminated dirt int Waste Management across from where we get the fertalizer in Joliet. And you see a ton of them pulling containers also. I've heard he is connected, if you know what I mean, lol. I use to see his street sweeper and one dump on the highways in Chicago at night when I was hauling flatbed the one summer.

Popular Post Mackdaddy2030 Posted March 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2015 Was over at Zimmerman's in DeKalb today and saw this R model. I guess they use to use it for sealcoating. Look at all that tar on the camelback. And the crossmembers are rotting out. Talked to old man Zimmerman and her said it fires up and runs good. They might take the motor out and put it in the DM rolloff. I wanted to get a picture of the Superdog, but it was inside the other shop and no one was in there. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/81/#findComment-283129 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dds92780 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks for the input, I think the mDrive is the way to go. Now I cant find any 22' trailers anywhere....Kinda ticked off that i let my 80 rebuilt fruhauf go for 10k to some guy that wanted it. I thought it was a good deal 2 months ago but now i see the demand of these things. I had original floor in it with steel floor , tub design, new brakes, black painted boards. Only needed 500 dollars worth of welding. I lost my ass on that sale, prob could of gotten 14k for it It's okay i'm using the 94 slant nose Fruehaff now ( cant spell it right now lol ) 1 Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

Popular Post dds92780 Posted March 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2015 I just got bored and looking for attention and praising of my bulldog. Well, here are some pics. You can even see the upgraded 460 turbo with intercooler piping in of the pics. I even have a 500 watt amp with subwoofer under the passenger seat and an extra amp in the headliner to sound amazing going down the road. If anyone wants pics of that or video i have plenty. Sure a new truck might be better on my back but im loving this mack! Thanks for looking and drive safe Sorry if it's too many pics but this is where they belong .
