MACKTRUCKS4 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 There was a trucking and excavating company by me that has since bought out by Pennsy supply called Slusser Bros. That was their colors when they started out back in the 70's. When they were ordering trucks from Mack, they had a color named for the green, which is close to yours, it was called Olive Green. The yellow on the frame was a brighter shade. Most of their old colors are changed over but I have seen a few still floating around.
