Firemack Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks for taking the time for posting these Tractors of the month. When trucks were all unique and was fun going down the road naming each one.Firemack 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30810-tractor-of-the-month/page/2/#findComment-178091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Coheno had a few trucks at the Springfield show all fresh restored. they were sweet. was a B model and a few R models to. he just finished them days before the show and i talked to the kid. HE MADE HIS OWN VENT WINDOWS for the B model out of stainless in his shop. told him he should go in business. he bent the channel right around and formed the window frame then made the glass run channel for the side glass and put it all together with new rubbers. im sure we would all buy a pair if he went into production.

vision386 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Mark, my '70 KW was a Greenstein truck also!Cool pictures!.Where was this Ed Kimball from,do you know? There is a guy by the same name in Wisconsin that has a beautiful B-75 (L model cab).......AlAl,my Dad ran a lot of produce for Greenstein,Ed was from the Tampa/ St.Pete area if i remember correctly,i remember my Dad saying when he was down that way he always had an open invitation to stop by. He (my Dad) knew damn near everybody that ran a truck between Jersey and Florida! There is an article about the Kimball family on Overdrive Retro,and looks like some of them migrated up to Wisconsin,so might be the same family?.....................................Mark http://www.overdriveretro.com/a-produce-haulers-legacy-hard-work-but-habit-forming/ 1 Quote Mack Truck literate.

felicello122 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 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.the red and black one is Sharp as hell!!!
