brad_kelly Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 JT, I saw that on CL awhile back, almost called about it - would've put a flat-bed body on it. At 45K miles, $1K in that condition you can't go wrong, really. Since it was a farm truck, looks like it had no salt exposure. Hope it works out for you.

mowerman Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Yes, that’s him. Thanks for that. I didn’t realize he was so young. I think he suffered a stroke. I think he was a cattle hauler but every time you turn around, it was buying another truck antique and parts. From what I remember, he had a lot of trucks and a lot of parts.

Brocky Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 I met and talked with Mike at the ATHS Des Moines 2016-17(???) show.. He had had a stroke and was recovering OK.. posted later he got his CDL back. Then he got sick again, I think it was cancer that finally got him??????? He had a lot of stuff!!! Heard about 150 Macks of some description parked in the Cow Pasture behind his farm. His son, Mikey, was on here for a while after Mike Passed, But have not heard from him lately.. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30574-1977-international-loadstar-1600/page/2/#findComment-560990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 I 've to Mike's place a few times before he died. Very generous man and very knowledgeable on most any Mack. He had more than one place he stored vehicles. Other end of the state from me, but yes he had a lot stored outside. I think he was a few years younger than I, and I was sad to learn he was sick, and later passed. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30574-1977-international-loadstar-1600/page/2/#findComment-560999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lives in Illinois, I don't know what ever happened to him or the truck. He used to be on here all the time, then he just disappeared for a year or 3, then was back for a while, then disappeared again. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post Geoff Weeks Posted October 29 Popular Post Share Posted October 29 I haven't heard from Rob in a while either, He keeps fairly busy with fab and maintenance stuff. I sent him some stuff on JLG manlifts and an air compressor he was looking for, but it was a few year ago. Always seamed to have 3 irons in the fire at once, so not surprising not to hear from him for long stretches. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30574-1977-international-loadstar-1600/page/2/#findComment-561003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Terry T Posted October 29 Popular Post Share Posted October 29 Cancer is what finally did Mike in. This is Mike at a benefit that was put on for him a while before he passed. My Dad & I made a banzai run from NE Indiana out to spend a few hours with Mike and then drove back home. It was the last time that I got to visit with him. The picture of Mike & Me was a few years earlier when I was in the neighborhood for the celebration of life for another friend from that area. The 3rd pic is from 2011 after the South Bend ATHS show Mike came to my place & loaded up my F Model and took it home with him along with a Freedom Edition Superliner hood and some other misc parts that I had for him. Mike was a bit younger than me & he had some rough times that created some late night, long phone calls but things were going really well for him until the cancer came back. 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30574-1977-international-loadstar-1600/page/2/#findComment-561004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
