Mike Blais Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 These belonged to my former employer that went belly up in 1992.(1975) R685T-50487 & 50488(1976) R686ST-9200(1976) R686ST-10274(1977) R686ST-14034The company was in No. Springfield, Vt. They had already been sold at the end, when the trucks were auctioned off. I know its' a long shot but I've had good luck at finding other trucks.

Superdog Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 No doubt they are all alive and working,but you might have to take a boat ride to find them.

Popular Post Mike Blais Posted November 9, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2013 Mike - Are you saying I will have to take a boat across the Connecticut River into New Hampshire? No problem! I have a nice shot of 10274 just out of the paint shop and not even lettered yet. I can just smell the fresh Imron! 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33131-looking-for-some-macks-from-my-past/#findComment-215804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Was the name of the company Idlenot Dairy or something like that? They also had a restaurant division, there was an Idle 90s restaurant down the road. Similar setup to Friendly's today. Friendly's still has a few Macks running around but I've seen more Volvos lately. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33131-looking-for-some-macks-from-my-past/#findComment-215806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Blais Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yes, that was the name of the company. They also had a U model that's in my avitar pic. U685T-9351. It was wrecked around 1980. Also one MB, MB611T-1971. In the mid seventies they got an H-67. It was red with black fenders, single axle with a tag. Seems that it came from the Agawam Mass. area. I got to ride in it once when I was a kid. It got sold before it ever got painted the company color.

mack mhe9 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 In the late 90s a New England company cald Pjax bought a lot of R-model Mack's had them painted blue with white stripes. They would come in to my buddy's body shop all different colors and they would leave blue. They ran them for years till they got bigger then sold them off for newer equipment. Just saying they might not have gone to a farm or private person.

Popular Post Mike Blais Posted February 9, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2014 Bumping this back to the top if I may. My old truck sixth sense says these didn't stray too far. One of their old Brockways just turned up a few towns away. Started out as a smal tractor for Schraffts Candy in Boston. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33131-looking-for-some-macks-from-my-past/#findComment-231450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
