Rufo has made a welcome retuirn to Biglorryblog to say: "Hi Brian,with regard to Gary Richard's blog on the Shay Gap Macks.Yes,there were definately three built in 1972.

I believe these trucks are still at the same location. I read about them on Hanks or Bigmacktrucks.com. Apparently they are going to or have cannibalized them for their 80,000Lb rears for other trucks they are building. I hope they don't send the rest to the scrap heap.
