Reminds me of my Dad leaving the house around 2 in the morning 1988 Memories ✌🏾

My dad use to stop by the house for a few minutes every morning at 3:30 - 4:00 AM with the oil truck he drove. The company garage was 5 minutes from our home. It was very cold out and still dark of course. Every day I didn’t have school I was by his side working with him on the oil truck. He drove # 11 a big Mack LMU Cabover for years then # 17 a White 3000 cabover for years, # 32 a White 9000 finally the last truck he drove was # 37 an Autocar 10 wheeler all of the trucks were all brand new except # 11 the Mack LMU cabover. The memories I have have are priceless to me, they would be to anyone who loves trucks, there childhood and there Dad. My Dad of course is long gone now but the memories I cherish live on. I consider myself very fortunate to have those memories of my dad and childhood and if truck. I went on later on in life to build one of the largest and well known tanker trucking companies of all time. Every morning I laid in bed and listen to him stopping and then leaving 5 to 10 minutes later. I loved the sound of his truck stopping listening to the air brakes and the sound of the engine leaving going through a few gears. My years growing up from the age of 5 or 6 through 11 or 12 I would lay in bed it still being dark out during the very cold winter mornings. He drove a NYC heating oil truck for a living all of his working life.

Yeah that's what I'm talkin about you put that straight pipe on it👍

I had one just like it, loved that truck. Tough as nails.

I loved those R model macks especially with 10 speed roadranger. Also loved u model macks with 5 speed. Loved cab overs. Solid rigs. Frankie Long Island

She is looking good

Man I wish I had that sound as a ringtone sounds good.

Hi this is Chris. From wilmot wis. I decided to keep my 79 r686st and sell the 89. I like your progress. I went with a 4 inch straight stack

Straight pipe! Sounds badass

The old Deputy dogs looking better and better keep up the good work Buddy🇺🇸

9 drivers out of 10 these days can't even get that truck in gear! They see the 2 sticks and climb right back down the fuel tank. That's man shit

Thanks! I hauled a lot of coal with a 6 speed Mack, perfect transmission for the job.

Nice

Those old dogs are timeless! You can still make money with a Mack like that!

I learned how to drive a truck in one of my dads old doggy rough ass riding twin stick R model Mack’s lol

Mack Attack!😎👍

music to my ears :P

What r those round cylinder things on the side of the right doors coming from the hood?

kreichbaaaaaaum!

I would love to find an old R-Dog. Iv been looking or a Old B Model tandem

That’s one of the later r models with the black interior

´Hey guys, does anybody have a good homepage or spot to buy a Mack R model? I am from Germany and maybe I am interested to have one of them for my own. Thank you guys.

I'd much rather work on the older trucks than the newer ones. I been a diesel mechanic for 15 years. New trucks are garbage.

You don’t use that auxiliary stick that often anyway it’s not like a b model lol

Cab view would be more interesting
