storkmack Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I saw quite a few R's and RD's the last few days. I am not real good at taking pictures and driving. I will work on it.

57 bcr Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Its a good runner too,Mark.It started out as Dean's Foods truck in '65 as an R607ST (-1036 to be exact!)Bill Schuldt and his late father Norm,rescued it from being a severely neglected yard horse in 1980.It had been parked next to a building that burnt and collapsed on it! Bill & his dad replaced the junk cab & hood and were soon using the truck daily in their operation.The END673P (187hp)/Duplex combo seemed to be lacking in the power department ,so they bought a 237 and mated it to a Quadbox (truck had 5.73's in it) and ran it that way for years! Its been replaced withn a set forward CH,but it is currently in the shed awaiting its next life! 2 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Popular Post 57 bcr Posted January 13, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2013 And your Chicago area R model of the day belongs to .... Bruce Nagel Trucking.......Bruce is the guy who purchased & runs Axle Equipment Sales Co,Inc.,today. He runs a fleet of clean,black,Visions or Pinnacles pulling Axle dump trailers.As far as I know he has never built any trailers for outside sales.He builds for his fleet only. I'm sure he rebuilds for all Axle owners.He has a complete shop with authorized Genuine MACK Parts & Service in Batavia,Il. 4 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Green Dash Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 It must have been quite a sight years ago with so many R models pulling similar size/style trailers. When I was a kid it seemed that half of the heavy trucks on the Long Island Expressway were R models or Brockways hauling sand and gravel. The market there also seems to have shifted towards Paccar. There are quite a few beautifully maintained trucks in "large car" dress running the LIE these days, so at least the industry and the pride in equipment are both alive and well.
