Mackdaddy2030 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Mackdaddy, I thought you might like this picture of Rossi's water truck. Tommy B was down there harassing talking to them the otherday and took this picture. Looks like its had a recent paint job.It sure is still looking good. Thanks for posting it. I told Tom when I saw him at Louisville I stopped in there one day in Dec and the person to talk to was not in. I gave them my number and showed Her that it my last name also, thinking it would help me get a call back so I could take pictures, but they never called me. LolI guess he knows a guy there and gets a bunch of free stuff like shirts and coats. I told him I was very jealous and told him to take me with next time he went lol Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/84/#findComment-284872 Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The black&yeller one looks like an old Tewes truck out of Waukegan. Then again,it could be just a former all yeller truck that received a black hood from an all black one that was jackknifed beyond repair! LOL!

mackman1965 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Any reason why the dump trailers in Chicago are so much smaller then what we run here in NYC? The obvious would be weight restrictions but even still they look small Quote Local 282 Union Service Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/84/#findComment-285168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
