CaptainCrutch Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Wow, stick a set of mirrors on the fenders and an old flatbed trailer on the fifth wheel and that'd be the perfect rig to haul my firetrucks to shows with...

PC68 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I remember buying our first F350 pickup in 1980 at Wilmington Ford in Mass and they had several of these Ford LTL’s in their lot for sale. They were and still are really good looking trucks.

Popular Post tjc transport Posted March 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2020 a friend still has 4 of those 80's LTL's running on the road every day. they all have over 2 million miles on them, and look like hey just rolled off the assembly line. they run bulk concrete tankers, and get washed every afternoon before getting parked inside the garage. oil changed every month, and brakes adjusted every night too. once a month when oil is changed the trucks are gone over with a fine tooth comb. anything out of line is replaced immediately. 5 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

mattb73lt Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 One of my favorites. Saw it a few times at shows. I use it as my inspiration on how I want mine to look, but with red fenders.

tgood66 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Can anyone provide me with info on Matlack Mack Model b tractors?? When I lived in Delaware as a kid I'd watch these beasts climb the grades on Naamans road Del 92. They would later return empty with their tires singing. Loved that special air horn they had always asked the drivers to blow them for us kids. Now I am retired and building a 1/25 G scale garden railroad and plan on building a 1950's Matlack terminal. Guys can you help me??? Oh Yeah the back bumper had "Pipeline on Wheels" in it.

Brocky Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 That unit belonged to past ATHS president James Suttles. He has now passed away, and I have not heard what has happened to his trucks?? If you contact Dana Transport in Demopolis AL, they might be able to help you. Dana bought out Suttles lease operator operations for Matlack and the last email address I had for Mr. Suttles was thru Dana's website. Another contact might be Phil Henderson thru the Superior Carriers website.
