Popular Post PeterMack Posted February 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2016 I've been running to Milwaukee for the last month and I spotted a B-model in a garage off 94 anda cool DM with some extra axles in Racine the other day. Looks like the B belongs to Floyd'sTowing. I had had to use them a few years back. They did a good job and charged a fair price.Not sure what the story is with the little garage and truck but it caught my eye. There was a 10foot drop off from where I took that picture, thats why there weren't any close ups. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44074-a-couple-wisconsin-macks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryS Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Looks like a fancy bumper on the B. It would be neat to catch it outside. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44074-a-couple-wisconsin-macks/#findComment-324841 Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 The quad axle looks like a Richard Hribar(Ry-bar)or Hribar Sand & Gravel truck. The Hribar family has been trucking around S. Wis. since wheels were invented.They were known for rebuilding trucks several times. Looks like they're still at it. That DM looks to be around an '86 or older,as they extended the front end to accommodate the CMCAC (starting with the '87 models I believe). Somewhere I have a picture of that Floyd's B-67 wrecker.Nice pics,Brian. Al Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Must just be a garage ornament now. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44074-a-couple-wisconsin-macks/#findComment-325034 Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorback11 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Mack58B42 is spot on. There is something about B-model wreckers that just make a guy turn and stare. They really start the drool pumps. I think they are the meanest looking of the B-models...especially the tandem axle models. Maybe it is the fact that when every other truck has or had a bad day....it was the B-model wrecker that would show up to take over the situation. They just appear to be a beefy no-nonsence truck. I was at a truck show about three years ago and a single axle B-model wrecker pulled into position and parked right in front of me. To my surprise, one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen hopped out of the driver's seat. For some reason...just seemed appropriate. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44074-a-couple-wisconsin-macks/#findComment-325059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
