57 bcr Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I just remember my uncle saying,"the Monforts would get on the C B and say,Boys, move on over to the right lane,we're comin' through"! He was in a KW cabover with a 290 Cummins at the time.He told me,he was almost on the shoulder at that time,anyway!

storkmack Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 I got out in the Monfort lane again the other day, this time with my brand new 85' R. I looked twice to make sure there wasn't any "Big" trucks coming up behind me. I wouldn't want to slow them down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullhusk Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Has anyone ever heard the story about the two KW's Monford had with the V12-71 twin turbo's that they were tryin out?? I was told they were monsters but couldn't break 2mpg so they scrapped that idea!! It all came about when Detroit Allison wanted to pair there trans up with a Detroit engine. Also Coors beer co had a fleet of trucks with the big KT Cummins and I remember reading an art. I think in OD Mag. about them havin a KTA 600hp that would go up those W-Coast hills @ 40 plus MPH loaded! back then! today we have trucks that can do this with no prob.BULLHUSK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I got out in the Monfort lane again the other day, this time with my brand new 85' R. I looked twice to make sure there wasn't any "Big" trucks coming up behind me. I wouldn't want to slow them down. I do that in my B model, sometimes LOL!! On level ground it will run 75mph with my trailer. I get thumbs up and chatter on the radio when I roll past some large cars cruis'n the slow lane. I use up all 180 hp I got! 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackey58 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Well those stork macks don't let the grass grow under there feet they seem to move right along the only time I get a good look at them is if I get caught behind a slow container until I pass it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMack Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I got out on the Monfort Lane this morning early. Was nice and quiet out. Was only doing a couple overnow that they've changed the speed limit. Saw alot of sleeping trucks at R-Place in Morris, not muchhappening at Ritche Bros., and even saw a Mack out for a ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
