Lmackattack Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 as i understand it They were a long time finisher for mack customers. almost all the macks i drove here in Northern Chicagoland had a yellow sticker near the door vin tag with thier name and the specs of the truck after leaving their shop. they did the installs of 5th wheels, pto, dump bodies, garbage truck accessories etc.... im not sure why they went under as they did good work. i use to buy all my pto parts from them. the guys were always knowledgeable and prices were fair Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70857-rgsmith-equip-co-des-plainesil/#findComment-518256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydawg Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 Well then maybe they didn`t own my truck.I assumed they did because their name is on the mudflaps,but maybe they sold these to customers.

Possibly but im not 100% sure. they likely sold them if a customer requested mud flaps for the truck when it was finished. my dads 77' mack went thru RG smith for the fith wheel install but it had no flaps installed Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70857-rgsmith-equip-co-des-plainesil/#findComment-518343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
