Truck1536 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Happy New Year all. I joined the site a few weeks ago. Just getting around to say hi. I have been driving construction equipment for almost 27 years. My time driving has been in New York City and on Long Island. I posted a few pictures in the gallery. The F-900 that is attached was the first truck I drove (legally). For the first 15 years I drove concrete mixers, for the later I have been driving dump trucks. I enjoy the site and can feel the passion that the members have for their trucks.John Quote JohnLocal 282 Retiredhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/99031064@N00/ Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/649-happy-new-year-from-ny/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck1536 Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Awww I remember those trucks. When I was little they were my favorite as they had all the colorful polka dots. Memories.←They sure did stand out. These F-900s' are all but gone. Sure wish I had taken more pictures of them. I believe they wound up out of the country. There may be 1 or 2 in Queens at another ready-mix company. I remember Scaccia and F&M had a few of these. They were a trip to drive, especially through the Queens-Midtown Tunnel or over the Williamsburg Bridge where you had to take up 2 lanes. You are right, memories! and good times there. Glad you enjoyed.John (Sneakers) Quote JohnLocal 282 Retiredhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/99031064@N00/ Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/649-happy-new-year-from-ny/#findComment-3083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall any H-81 mixers in NYC, probably before my time.http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/truc.../june/h81_1.jpghttp://www.davestrucks.com/pages/h81sx.html Quote JohnLocal 282 Retiredhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/99031064@N00/ Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/649-happy-new-year-from-ny/#findComment-3086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Thanks for the pics.Always thought one of those H-81's would make an awesome wrecker.There was a story in Double Clutch awhile back about a couple of them getting saved,think Dave Zsido & Bob Giddings got them.I was told that the H-81 was built to use up a large quanity of day cab H cabs Mack had ready for a large UPS order that was canceled when the F model came out.Don't know if that was true or not,but makes for some intersting history.
