Freightrain Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I know the truck well. Spend a weekend with him and his wife last year at our big show in Ashland Ohio. I'm horrible with names, but very nice people and very nice truck. His wife even drove it in the slow truck race.He put on quite a show trying to get it back on the trailer on Sunday. Had a time getting it over the hump onto the drop dropdeck. Had to really get a run(going BACKWARDS) to get it to crest and not just slip the tires. Had me nervous!

yarnall Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Another RGS B model from John HoppesThey kept this truck until the company shut down. John said he took these pictures in the 80's. I tried to buy this truck, but it was already sold when I got there. I think it was the nicest of the old trucks they had. I like the ones I got, but I really like this one. I offered the new owner $1000 over what he paid. He said "no, thank you." I think the dump I posted earlier has the 5 speed out of the CF in it. I don't know if it has anything behind it. I will ask him when I see him next.Mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30688-some-b-model-action/page/2/#findComment-179201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 57 bcr Posted April 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2013 ....Some old snapshots of B models in our area.Pictures 1,2,and 4 were of my first boss' truck,a 1961 B-613S. He is in the dump trailer (in t-shirt & Levi's) getting the load off "the hard way" after his driver took a turn too fast! Picture 3 is a brand new Galion dump trailer that was built for John Yazel,Sunrise Cartage of Crystal Lake,Ill.These pictures were loaned to me by Bob Wheelock,who drove the B for Rick Leach in pictures 1 & 2. 6 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Mike Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Very good to see these photos of the B Models. I figured the young lad was you Dave. I was much younger about 5 when I had the pleasure of being near a B Model.

I am in the process of getting more "old" pictures of that truck.It was our favorite in this area as kids.I was 10 years old when it was rebuilt the 1st time (after a bad wreck).It was then wrecked real bad in the fall of '74.It was honor to be on the rebuild team when we recreated it in '96-'98.You're right about those tires,they just have that look,you know? 4 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!
