Popular Post storkmack Posted March 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2015 Here's a shot of my brother heading towards me the other day. His truck had been down for awhile for drive train upgrades. Out came the. Mack 9 sp and 5.05 rears and in went a Mack 12 and 4.17 rears. He is happy with the improvements thus far 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/83/#findComment-283809 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Like Brad said Maywood. Here, you can watch one run. Someone knew the garbage truck was going to turn and head down their street, so they took the time to make a short video because they knew that there are people like us that would actually enjoy seeing that. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/83/#findComment-283832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RSD501 Posted March 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2015 A little off of the conversation, but I was cleaning out some things at my grandparents house. Found an old auction flyer and thought the price of the b-model looked pretty good compared to today's prices! Sorry about the crummy quality.I think there were 5 b models sold. I found a picture of one of them all cleaned up for sale day too. Sorry about the one rotated, I couldn't figure which one was which on my cell phone. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/83/#findComment-283916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
