Popular Post Offset-U-bet! Posted February 8, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) This truck was bought new in 1988 as a tractor by my boss and has been rebuilt at least twice once in 1998 (when I drove it) and in 2002 or 03 to a roll-off. I drive it once in awhile and I still love the old girl. It has 175k over a MILLION miles on it. He will never sell it! Enjoy!

jackb61sx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 More Macks!I like the your R-Model and like the color, do you have an R tractor that pulls a dump trailer running around here now? I like the SuperLiner especialy like the red on the tanks, mine are black on my Liner with red frame and after much thought going to leave painted and was going to match the red of frame and after seeing that pic know I made the right choice.

The R you have seen is the sister to our truck. Thats Joey Naples. We sold him that truck. He's a good friend of ours and that R is now off the road and my boss might buy it back. It needs rails (frame) bad. Joey now has a Pete that he's running. P.S. the Superliner is one I saw while sitting at the burn plant in Concord NH. Belongs to a crane company. Love it!

jackb61sx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 On the Superliners the twin stacks look nice, they add to what already is a large truck, On mine going to in time go back to the original exhaust system and remove the straight pipes, they sound good, look good,,,,but they arent what I want on the truck, but am deffinaitly going to red tanks to match the frame and stripe them. Going to have frame done at Arc painting in Auburn NH in April.
