countryboy5487 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I was wanting some parts for my dm (doors, springs, fifth wheel etc) he wants scrap price for it which he said was $1800. Seemed a lil high for $10.00/100lb i doubt it weighs 18000lbs Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32532-wv-macks/#findComment-202521 Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryboy5487 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Well you could drop a watermelon in the drivers floorboard and look in the mirror and watch it bounce down the road and the back of the cab has lots of thru cancer below the window it could be saved but it would take alot of work/ determination but i wouldnt say it hopeless. I can go take some more pics if youd be interested 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32532-wv-macks/#findComment-202543 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Looks like a coal hauling Mack in the making in that last pic, not too many big rubber spoke wheel Granites anywhere but coal country.

krismoriah Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 There was a guy posted about some macks up near beckley a few months ago..i went and looked and he had at least 30 maybe 40 dumps and tractors..superliners, 888s 688s u name it..it was kind of overwhelming. He lost his coal haul and they are just sitting up there. With that many units he probably has a boneyard around somewhere with the wrecked ones.. He is sitting on a fortune and doesnt really seem that motivated to do anything with them. Countryboy, im in st.albans..like 10 minutes from you.. Got 6 working dumps and 2 tractors.. got a mack hood and some oddball mack parts laying around the shop if u wanna come over some time.
