New England Truck World 1979


Recommended Posts

Excellent, thanks for posting!

HOWEVER, the caption under what appears to be one of the gold "Maxidyne 300" promotional tractors says it's a Western with a Detroit Diesel. I belive that is an R-700 hood latch in the photo. I guess we can let that slide considering how awesome the fleet is and how much time has passed.

I want you all to know that I searched countless scans and had to view hundreds of TOTM photos and Datemasters to find this and expect nothing in return for my pain and suffering.

I looked at those scans and actually remember engine, transmissions, and rear axle ratios on most of the trucks in the issues I had as a kid. Mis-spent youth ain't so bad, I had no life!

don't they still have an old R? I know they had a sweet B with homemade vent windows at Springfield and I know they had an R model there just don't remember which one.

Their B was in the Mack Museum during the Macungie show.It was parked next to Heavy Hauler's Proctor B-81.

IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!! Big John Trimble,WRVA
