Popular Post Frank Y Posted March 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2020 I have this posted on FB SteelDash Macks so please excuse if you've seen it there. A friend fixed up this '66 R about 12 years ago and sold it about 7 years ago. It was sold through "oldmacks.com". It was sold from PA, but he doesn't know where it went. If you have this truck or know of its whereabouts, I would be interested in talking to you. I didn't have the funds or storage at the time it was for sale but things have changed for the better for me, and would like to have a chance to possibly purchase it if its not being used or is for sale. I have other pics and the serial number if you're not sure if its the same truck. It was a twin stick and quite possibly had an air problem under the dash when it was sold. Just something to jog a memory. Thanks everybody. 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61740-have-you-seen-this-1966-r-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleclutchinweasel Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) That looks like the one I went to see a few years ago when it was being advertised through OldMacks. If it is one I went to see, it did indeed have a 2-stick (Quadruplex) box in it. Also had rigid seats on both sides (no t-bar driver's seat). Supposedly, the one I saw lived most of its life on Long Island. It didn't look quite that good then, though. Dennis had it hooked to a lowboy trailer, and was trying to sell them together, if possible. I was only interested in the tractor, and it was not exactly what I was looking for (for the price), so I passed on it. I think it sold not long after that. I hope you can track it down. Good luck.

Frank Y Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 It would look even better in MY driveway. Bill (previous owner) said it was a Leeman (sp) chemical truck. Bill bought it in poor shape from the Bloomsburg PA area from an ex carpet mill?. He redid it with air ride driver and passenger seats. His wife wanted them, and air conditioning. Then she decided it rode too rough for her. I think he liked it, but it wasnt long after that, that his hip started getting REAL bad and had surgery a few years later. Then back surgery so it was probably good he sold it.

Frank Y Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 I like the truck 66dc, but I LOVE the trailer. Only thing better for me would be if they made a single axle detachable lowboy. That would be the nutz for me. Whats the difference with the longer frame, or is it my imagination? Seems like the rear axle is further back on the truck.

doubleclutchinweasel Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Sounds like that was NOT the truck I saw at Dennis Meehan's place. The one I saw there did not have good seats or A/C. Still, I hope you find it. 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

It was ordered with long wheelbase, pulled a dump trailer in Florida. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61740-have-you-seen-this-1966-r-model/#findComment-449085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
