Whatever happened to this B-model?

[Superdog]

That must have been the first time they refurbished that truck. I have a picture of it from Walcott, late 90's early 2000's.

In my picture it has alum budds on the rear and a 48" Pete bunk instead of a 36". I think I like it with the 36" a little

more, seems to fit the look of the truck a little better in my opinion. Was a sharp looking truck though.

I've got a pic somewhere that Roger gave me ,it's a night shot,hooked onto his pot. I'll see if I can find it sometime.

I took this picture at Louisville about 20 years ago and have never seen this truck again.

I thought it was a pretty cool truck, I liked the metallic blue paint with all the chrome.

Does anybody know if this truck still exists?

I ran across this one on the web and the page said Mike Lieth from Wandell, NC owned this truck. Not sure how current this information is.

Last time I saw this B-81 was in the early eighties at the Englishtown,NJ truck show, RFCdrum (Rob) on here knows this outfit,he may have some input on what happened to it. There was also this Autocar with the same name on the door at the show,both of these trucks were immaculate!......................................Mark

I believe John Mauro owned them? think he still might own the a car? not sure. that pic I had was taken in the early 90's at the hotel by Macungie. I remember talkin to him and he said he missed the turn and had to turn the old girl around in a gas station parkin lot and traffic wouldn't give him the time of day and it had no power steering

I have not seen in years are the red and green single axle tractor that said Gravy Train on the cow catcher

That would be Stan Leman. He has Gravy train, an R6xx, 2 superliners(one I just posted a video of) and the CH E9. All very, very nice trucks.

Stan has not been real active in our chapter the last year or so(I haven't either for that matter).

Here is the V8 Super:

His blue daily driver is sticking out the left side of the picture.

The CH:

This is Tom Sampson. He's local to me. Well, shoot, that is my truck next to his. Must be from Lakeside Sand and Gravel show every spring. Like the pictures I put above.

He had the Superliners at the ATHS show in South Bend a couple years ago. I took pictures of them. Beautiful trucks.

🥰@googl.com the red mack b series with DeRidders Is very much still around :) same owner - It sits in his barn and sadly Doesn't do much else, but it all her glory looks the same to this day, My fathers prized possesion, he took this truck from the ground up it was bound for a junkyard before i was even born (1987) and he took her and made her a award winning piece of art! she sits in a pole barn covered with her blanket and some dust.... and will start run and drive with a turn of the key

Wow, thanks for that. Truck is absolutely gorgeous. When I grew up in New England back on the 60s those things were everywhere mainly 10 wheel dump trucks… definitely one of my favorites..bob
