j hancock Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I THINK THE 2 360'S were done by a fellow named Byron Hoppkins I don't know if I spelled his last name right but it's close. The man is the best in the busn. The tilt nose was done by Richie Zigmont another job well done!BULLHUSKYes, Byron did both trucks and they are beautiful!The V12 Detroit is a U360 and the CAT is a H360. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

mackman1965 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 20130810_121319.jpgthis would look great lettered up like my old DM. We had 2 Brock's at my old company a tandem lugger and a packer that looked a lot like the one in this picture .

Maddog13407 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 looks like its an old M and G Carriers truck on the hook of that Brock. or were they all yellow? I forget, I think Ryder was involved with them for while? hears tons of horror stories about M an G. guys working for them ripping them off left and right, probably why they are no longer around. kinda like D W Winkelman in Syracuse. they were big big back in the days, the workers ripped them off so bad finally the old man said screw it, im a Millionaire and he shut the doors and got rid of them all.

vision386 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Matt,i think your thinking about Anchor Motor Freight/Leaseway ,they ran the light blue GMCs and later some L-Series Fords,used to see them all over the place just kinda vanished...........................Mark 1 Quote Mack Truck literate.

Maddog13407 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 yup! that's what I was thinking. M and G car carriers was all yellow GMC's usually with a big Ryder sticker on the door. M and G vanished also. probably because of all the spare parts that were sold out the back door. heard many horror stories of brand new Detroits never even makin it off the loadin dock and would end up in someones trailer behind a pickup and I know of a few guys who worked for them who NEVER bought home heating oil for their truck and ALL their friends who were truckers always had good looking rubber on their trucks...

Maddog13407 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Rick Lucia bought up a bunch of scrap years ago from Talerico Construction,( that's where I got my no rot 66 R model cab) they had a bunch of those scrapers and took the engines out to use in their gravel pit. I was there when Lucia sent guys up to scrap them. this old man chewin on his cigar with a 325 Cat excavator grabbed those big scrapers and dragged them onto lowboys like they were Tonka toys. they also scrapped a bunch of old GMC dumps, diamong Reos, and a few DM's along with those two R models(the one I posted with the extended homemade hood a while back with the Detroit). the old man had a grapple on the boom instead of the bucket, he NEVER got out of the cab to hook up the grapple chains, he was a magician with the controls. just swung the boom and hooked the chains and dragged stuff on the lowboy.
