39 Baby Mack Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Great pictures Mike,Thanks for posting, nice to know that some of them are still around.Just amazing, when you think about it, how some of them are lucky enough to be taken care of and somehow survive to the point that they'll probably outlast us all.While other ones are wrecked, scrapped, or rust away to nothing. And then of course there are those that end up having to learn a new language later in life!Ron Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30810-tractor-of-the-month/#findComment-177913 Share on other sites More sharing options...

607t1173 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Kinda reminds me of back in the day when I looked forward to my next overdrive magazine being there when I came in off the road. The first thing I'd do was open it up to the truck of the month and hope that it would be an older Mack LJ,B-model,H-model or maybe an R but preferably an F-model. More often than not it would be another "payment book " which is what we called later model trucks that we couldn't afford to buy back then. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30810-tractor-of-the-month/#findComment-177920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mackdaddy Posted April 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2013 thanks taking the time for all of us to enjoy! That was in the day when I would sit for hours along the highways just to see the many cool trucks that were all so unique. And when I was old enough to drive I would cruise the truck stops to enjoy the many different rigs. Not the same anymore! 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30810-tractor-of-the-month/#findComment-177937 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chuck P Posted April 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2013 Great pics! I'd like to add a few if that's OK. All of them were classy trucks with tasteful mods back in their time. I really like the all-business look of the R700s. 3 Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

Mike Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 All that I could think about when I was a small kid, I wanted to be a truck driver when I grew up. I do believe it when you guys say it never gets out of your blood.
