vision386 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I dunno im not a CH fan but the driven for a century truck needs to be saved and that light blue gray B model cab appears to be pristineI agree! sorry I didn't get to meet you at Macungie,but I did give your B-Model a good looking over,and I gotta tell you,that is a really sharp truck! one of the best looking "old school" trucks there in my opinion,looks just right,not goobered up with too much B.S. just the way a B was supposed to look. were I to ever restore one,prolly look a lot like yours!.......................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

I dont know the guys there and I have no real basis, but people that let things rot like that or scrap them as opposed to selling them to someone that wants them make me mad, thats where most of our Icons went in this country, the scrap pile!

Also I said "people that let things rot like that or scrap them as opposed to selling them to someone that wants them make me mad" is the owner of that lots name included in the above? or was it a generalized statement about letting things rust versus saving them? I never said, "seeing those pics makes those guys assholes" I actually stated I dont know them then there was a comma and the rest of my statement. I wasnt knocking your friends, I was knocking the practice of letting rare vehicles rot to the ground, if they are using them for restorations good for them, then they are not letting them rot to the ground just because they dont want to sell them they actually serve a purpose and I am ok with them serving to get other trucks back running.

bulldog man Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Good ol Baskin, had some friends drive from Murfreesboro to his lot to look at dump trucks, I told em not to waste the trip but they found out the hard way. Baskin gets some neat ol Mack's but he's a high priced junk merchant fur sure.When I was pulling FEMA Frames from 1 gulf stream plant to another (ELKHART, IN to Montevideo, MN) After Katrina I jaw jacked on the radio a lot in the T300 KW I was driving & I got asked by a driver where I was from cause o my southern accent somewhere around Eau Clarie, Wi . I told him Millington, TN he said oh home of the Navy Base & only bout 30 miles from HOOK EM & CROOK EM BASKIN . I Laughed I said yup I know Big Don & lil don both . told him my back ground in Farming & excavation & my family only does business w/ them as needed . . found out he was originally from Hernado,Ms & lived in N.Ill & drove regional . It never ceases to amaze me no matter where I go someone knows about either Millington cause it was a training base before it was a personal base & then the owner operators that know about Baskin in Covington,Tn cause of how they have been hooked & crooked by them . Ive seen a bus pull up & 30 drivers get off the bus & Baskin sell 30 trucks to a fella & those 30 drivers he bused in drove out w/ a road tractor a piece . They definitely sell the trucks up there in Tipton County but I don't trust them far as I could throw a loaded tri axle DM Mack w/ 25 tons of CR610 Limestone . We had a brake spider bust on a 77 DM Tandem dump we had . Tri State in Memphis told us a week due to a back up in the warehouse in ATL, Ga . Nobody else in Memphis had one . Pop Called Baskin they said oh yeah we got it . Regardless of me not wanting to go up there pop threatened me within an inch of my life so I went up there waited all day to get the damn part . Came back home to the shop behind the house went to put it on & the bolt holes where the wrong size . TOLD POP: HE WAS PISSED I WAS PISSED, THE DRIVER (Who also help me turn wrenches )was pissed , & he was really pissed when I told him so . he told me don't remind me . Called TRI STATE Told em order the part & id be down there that day or 1st thing the next moring to pay fer it. went back up there to get my $ back the counter man told me no cash returned I went told big Don Baskin what was up . he told me ok son I normally don't do this but I knew your dad I know your granddad & your just like them both you wont take no for an answer . he went to the cashier(his daughter) told her give my $ back that I had to pay fer the part @ Tri State . she started to protest . he told her to do it or else she was fired . Im only 1 of a few that I know of that ever got their money back from them .Went to Tri State in Memphis the next day payed for the part had to wait 5 days & we was down to 1 dump truck for a few days (& lowboy tractor had to pull double duty tween lowboy & dump trailers) but finally got the RIGHT Part & got ole red back up & running again. After that & fight w/ pop on what should had been done in the 1st place he never went back to Baskin to buy even for the smallest thing . we would go up there & window shop @ trucks but never buy even a Coke from them . When it came to buying a used truck pop & myself went else where anywhere but there . Quote You Cant Fix Stupid. But You Can Numb It With A Sledgehammer.

rsb502 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yeah, they still have that old RS700L v8 truck that's been under water about 4 times down on the river advertised for $5500. I called and offered em $4500 and the guy on the phone said they wouldn't let it go for under $6000. I made a trip down there years ago to look at s couple RD Tri axles and after that waste of a day of my life and $100 in fuel I haven't been back.

I had to buy a trackhoe the other day so it will be a little while before I can do anything on it. If any of you are interested, though, I'd be glad to give out the guy's info. I'd much rather see one of you guys get it than let it rot waiting on my broke ass.
