j_martell Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 2002 Mack Granite tri-axle roll off. No idea for motor (likely around 350hp?). I do remember 8ll fuller and axle forward model, turned like a friggin house!!!! No one liked it so no one drove it. I used it on the farm to shunt feed bins, then when the boss man let me do runs on Saturdays, that was usually the truck I took, cause I was used to it. Sorry guys, no pics. And from what I hear from his drivers, it's been sold.......(RIP NRD#10) Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....

Popular Post 57 bcr Posted February 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2014 Not exactly the first I drove,but the first one I bought and drove full time. I had driven a few around the yard at the construction outfit I worked for out of high school. But that really doesn't count. This truck (my '79 R612ST) too,was a stretched tractor.That was 1988. All was good until I broke the frame. Had it fixed,and started looking for a truck meant to have 18K on the front axle. Bit the bullet & ordered new. Never sorry I did that. 6 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Popular Post storkmack Posted February 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2014 I think the first am kid rove would have been #14, 87' R model. By the time I got my license it had been traded in on our first new Mack. The first Mack I drove to make a living was #17. It was an old Plote R model that you couldn't kill and damn near drove it self. 300/ 2 stick 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
