mack mhe9 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Couple Mack's at Apell auto sales A nice v8 This Superliner looked clean but looked more like a quick paint job with little prep.I thought this would make a nice motorhome chaise then I looked at the frame pretty nice work they got all 3 splices on one truck, the good news is they covers the splice with paint that will hold it. Yes there's no innerplating just one single rail. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31658-couple-apell-macks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I like the superliner too, it looks nice in the pictures, I guess that's why it is always best to inspect person Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Superdog Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Last time I was there I tried to buy that R700,it has a 318 Detroit,they didn't like my offer,think they wanted $4K.Hood is pretty busted up in the front,They had 2 of those quicky red painted Superliners,one was a '87 with a E9 they musta sold it,were asking $19500,that one there is a '79 or 80 and they are asking $15500.The RS is a '74,pretty sure it's been re-cabbed,they are asking $7500 for it,Guess that's plenty considering the frame.

mack mhe9 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 I think I probably saved the MH from a long and horrible death. They had a lot of CH's. and yes if you want to buy something I would go look at it in person.

mack mhe9 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Mike might be better at pricing I didn't get to study them long but from what I've seen scrap price might be a little high on the U and just about right for the R.

95k1500 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 There are a bunch of trucks that show up at the RB Auction in Morris with the same quick red paint. They all have the same paint graphics on them. I have heard that they come from a place that puts wrecked trucks back together Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31658-couple-apell-macks/#findComment-190711 Share on other sites More sharing options...

storkmack Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Seems like 99% of the equipment at Apell has a fatal flaw of some kind. That poor superliner has Reyco susp. or all the frame splices on that RS. It would be a challenge to find something normal there. We bought two RS mixers out there and it was an adventure. Looks like the MH was normal and it was saved from siting there a long time.

Superdog Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 They sure don't like to negotiate,I've tried to buy 2 trucks there,a '78 RWS766 Superliner that had been their a long time and that black R773 which has been there a long,long long time. Their answer to my offers was" the exporters will pay what we want" Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31658-couple-apell-macks/#findComment-190724 Share on other sites More sharing options...

storkmack Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Dad and I had an all out bargaining session with old man Apell. The 3 of us went back and forth and it got loud and crazy. The whole time the secretary just rolled her eyes at him. The line of the day from old man Apell was that he doesn't sell trucks, he sells the folder with all of the paperwork for a particular truck, once you have the folder you can get your truck.

mack mhe9 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Yea it was a challenge. I'm just glad the MH wasn't there long. It drove nice. Pinion seal went out but still got it home. Needs fuel tanks some one patched them with strips under the tank straps. Looks like hell. Just small stuff.
