theconvertibleguy Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The last two pics look more like a 50's truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Nothing I would be interested in, but these big rigs have a following. One is definitely older then the other one. Guessing parts for a 1921 Mack dump truck are hard to find. Might be of an interest to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Several are in a heavy equipment parts yard about 1/2 mile from me. Â The chain drive makes them desirable and of course the early Macks have a huge following in the antique truck community.

TerryB Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 The Mack in the posting I think is the AC series bulldog big truck line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC-car-guy Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I love it, "these are worth $10k, buy them before I take $1k at the scrap yard".  🤪 I did know a guy that was just that way though, and very much did crush several cars when people didn't pay his price. yeesh! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a guy that would post videos of himself cutting trans ams up with a sawzall into quarters. Laughing and carrying on about it. Very much a waste. But I figured in the long run only made my car more valuable, LOL.  I would hate to see these go to the crusher but in reality if the guy has to get rid of them and no one ponies up then he may not have a choice. My local scrap yard has a couple of really cool old shovels/cranes in front of their shop. I figured just as this, they were taken to the crusher and someone had the sense to put them off to the side and NOT crush them. There may be hope yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt if they need to move, they need to move. Hopefully he's willing to negotiate price to see them go to a non-crusher home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think all of us know at least one person like this. Usually the same ones that wonder why everyone looks at them like they were rejected for the position of village idiot for being overqualified 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
