John, I was the member from Riverdale that almost bought the Mack. I was under the impression that the turbo was the only thing bad with the motor, after looking at it and talking to a few different mechanics I learned that it needed over 30,000$ in motor work. I tried to arrange transportation to get it to Md. but that was 10,000$+ also. After that I do not know what happened to it. I'd be willing to bet that it was scrapped. Such a shame. It was in great shape, still had the original Riverdale colors and even some tools with old Riverdale T-7 stickers on them.

Chad, couldn't you have just changed engines? As for transportation, that seems way to steep. I know of someone that transportated a chassis from Appleton Wisc. to central PA and it was less than half of what you were quoted. That is a shame. It would of been nice of you to get that truck on the road. I loved seeing pics of it as an open cab.
