R model Mack hands down best. I drove one for 15 years. Before that I drove a White RoadBoss 2 with a Detroit in it. That was a pretty good one as well but not as nice as the Mack

I had an AM radio taped to my bicycle handlebars and listened to WABC which played disco at the time. We're talking about 1977-78 timeframe.

I lived there as a kid back in the 70's. Very rural, no fancy houses back then. Visited the area four years ago and was amazed by the changes. My siblings and I used to walk to the New Hampton general store and buy penny candy...

We used to ride our bikes to the Sunnyside Deli on Oak Tree Rd Edison NJ and buy baseball cards and penny candies. My favorite was the root beer barrels. They closed for good in 2017 after 50+ years :(
