james j neiweem Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I remember an oil tank driver coming to our plant in an R model. While off loading he would rub the hood down with WD 40 or armour all I can't remember for sure. It did a nice job. I think it probably attracted a lot off dust though. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/98/#findComment-298548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchhopper Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 They have painted all but one of our R models so far there is one other RD Ron uses it to haul pipe it was repainted a couple years ago its a pretty nice looking ride the one they are doing for me is one of our straight trucks used to haul septic tanks with no miles on it. It has a computer controlled engine which Im not happy about I would rather have the mechanical myself it will have a full chassis and cab paint job they are going to put a set of polished alcoas on it because Im one of the few that will take care of it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/98/#findComment-298620 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love Chicagoland, where putting your name on the door with a sharpie is perfectly acceptable. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/98/#findComment-298653 Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Good chance Value Liners weren't heavy speced to begin with. They do look good though. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/98/#findComment-298669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 My old employer had some pictures on FB that I borrowed. The Value Liner started out as a log truck and was converted toa rolloff to move dumpsters around the yard. It got the life beat out of it and was retired last year. Now they have designatedthe DM to be the new yard dog. The picture of the DM is from a few years ago, it doesn't look as good anymore. They wereusing it off and on around the yard and the clowns there beat it up pretty bad. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/98/#findComment-298992 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mackdaddy2030 Posted August 5, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2015 I was hauling asphalt out of McHenry the last two days and got some of these pics at the yard. This morning at the spray rack was my new truck on the left and my old truck on the right.An Ozinga mixer hauling out of their plant on the same property going to 31 and Bull Vally rd. then some mixers on the job at 31.Then Scooter, a Curran driver, dumping millings on the hill with another Mack broker.And a Medinah six wheeler. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/98/#findComment-299014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mackdaddy2030 Posted August 5, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2015 Not too sure if Meyers still owns the old shop in McHenry or if Ozinga took it over, but I took these pics over there.The R model is an '84 and has WI portion plates, and them and it IFTA were last renewed in '99 so I'm assuming it hasn't been on the road since then. I noticed it has Reyco suspension. Such a shame that they leave the passenger side window open. The trailer is a '75 Fruehauf. Also saw the nice Hilbilt in the weeds. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/98/#findComment-299021 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 A friend of mine spotted this yesterday in Lake Station IN. I'm guessing all these trucks are headed for a boat ride.The only one I remember seeing around is the orange one. I think I have a picture of it from a year ago out running.It stood out because it has square turn signals and somebody painted the horns orange. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/98/#findComment-299288 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody454 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 here's a not so good pic of a superliner water truck at land & lakes, a L&S Cartage granite dumping washout from the mixer plant, and my freshly painted (by the kids in the driveway) mongoose. I guess I should wash my windows before taking pictures at the quarry! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/98/#findComment-299429 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackdaddy2030 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 CL 700That guy works with us sometimes. Not sure what the deal is. Same company name on the side of the truck, but had license applied for plate and new driver at the beginning of the year.
