Popular Post thomastractorsvc Posted February 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2016 Looks like awesome trip. Getting 30 of them they should have had four beauties carting you around in a sedan chair while feeding you grapes, . That would have been the "Royal Tour"! 4 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

The trucks are currently getting automatic tarps on them Bob and I think only 12 of them have come up from body company to dealership so far. They put 4 bodies on a week, they are are all due in by April . So far Ballard Mack has been good to work with. If you are up next week Bob stop by working on few more restoration projects too lol Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44117-trip-to-mack-factory-to-see-my-30-new-granites-being-built/#findComment-325505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
