West Lynn sold out to Garelick probably 5-10 yrs ago

On paper GM does not really exist anymore. Shares only the name since the bankruptcy. Plus they don't make any of their own parts like they used to. A good vid on that 3.0 diesel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3g79j56AO3A Funny how the timing chains are more likely to fail then that wet oil pump belt.

i remenber when i was very young maybe 6-10 someone had something that used to screw with our TV occasionally,,,,im sure it was probably a ham radio broadcasting in my area,,,,that used to be a thing back when,,,,pretty common practice for lotsa folks,,bob

I had a President base station at home.I cant remember the model but it had 240 channels.I used to do some skip talking and got and sent QSL cards all over Europe.I used a BIG STICK antanna.It caused a lot of TV interfearence.Back then all the TV channels in Ireland (there were only 6 channels)shut down around midnight so I could only use it into the small hours...Happy days indeed...

Yes, it is. Sad truck stops pretty much the same shit these days Larry nobody even looks at you when you walk through there nobody talks anymore and yes, I also had a realistic 23 side band. I forgot all about that thing. It was many many years ago.

PSID200 DATA LINK, MID128-FMI9 ABNORMAL UPDATE RATE. THIS IS ON MY 2015 MACK GRANITE WHICH KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN RANDOMLY OR TRYING TO SHUT DOWN RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED

Growing up a friend lived a block over had a big base station. Cobra 139 with a VFO, a Varmint 850 watt linear and Moonraker beams. We'd stay up all Friday or Saturday night talking all over the place. His mom worked nights/dad divorced, so we had no one to watch us. I bought my first base from him, Navaho 23 ch that had been tuned up. It would push that Varmint harder then his Cobra. I put a Starduster ground plane on the roof and we had fun. Back then the neighbors would let me know if we were breaking into their TV shows. 😆. No cable back then and neighbors TV antenna was pointed directly north into my antenna. The Navaho died about 15 yrs ago and I found a President Madison and bought it. Don't really use it anymore. I have Unidens in my trucks. A 66 and a 68. I do have an old Realistic 23 channel radio-fone. I thought they were cool growing up so I found it on eBay for a few bucks and bought it. The plug is worn and headset won't stay plugged in tight, I tried to use it in the Mack but took it out. Sad their is not many talkers anymore.

oh theres a surprise,,,,you know these days we never even here anything about UFOs,,versus a few years back

Hello BigMackTrucks community! I'm new here so not entirely sure if this is the right thread to post this in but I was hoping this might be the right group to reach out to. I’m trying to identify the exact issue/date of a Mack Bulldog Magazine article from the late 1920s and am hoping someone here might recognize it or have access to the archives. The article is titled: “From Four Dollar a Week Stable Boy to Owner of 82 Motor Trucks” It profiles Edward (“Eddie”) Thompson, founder of E.A. Thompson, Inc., a New York-based trucking and forwarding company. The article states Thompson is “32 years of age.” He was born September 1894, which would place publication most likely in 1927 (possibly late 1926–early 1928 depending on timing). It appears to be a standard Mack customer feature profile. I've attached a photo of the a cut out of the original article. For context, E.A. Thompson, Inc. was a fairly substantial Manhattan operation: Founded in 1921 Involved in trucking/hauling, truckmen & forwarders, stevedoring, paper transport, and general contracting (including work on the Chrysler Building) Had contracts with B&O Railroad, New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, and West Virginia Pulp & Paper Fleet growth: ~80 trucks by 1923, ~82 at time of article, ~105 by 1928 By the late 1920s they were reportedly operating exclusively Mack trucks Founder died in 1942; company declined by the 1960s under family ownership What I’m trying to find: Exact issue of The Mack Bulldog (volume/number and date) Any additional pages from the article If anyone has access to Mack Bulldog issues from the mid-to-late 1920s, or knows how the publication was indexed/numbered, I’d really appreciate the help. Separately, I’m also trying to locate any photos of E.A. Thompson trucks or fleet lineups. The company operated under several name variations: E.A. Thompson, Inc. Edward A. Thompson, Inc. E.A. Thompson Trucking Edward A. Thompson Trucking Given the size of the fleet (100+ Mack trucks by the late 1920s), I suspect photos may exist in trade publications, railroad transfer yard shots, waterfront/stevedoring scenes, or construction photography—but possibly not labeled by name. If anyone has come across fleet photos, Mack customer features, or even unidentified NYC truck lineups from that era, I’d really appreciate any leads. Happy to share what I’ve found so far as well. Thanks in advance! Connor

Now that model is one that I would spend the time building that would be a great winter project I hope it gets to market

It’s no wonder these officials get all up in arms when they want to investigate their voting system. Well, if you’ve got nothing to hide why are you all pissed off? You should be boasting come on in babba Check it out …. lol yeah right…. Bob

Nothing surprises me and don’t forget we have no majority vote. That’s all out the window.

You know, I think a good part of the United States is corrupt just never been investigated cities towns, politicians, grabbing, and pocketing all the money scams everywhere. I heard a few years ago that the town of Sacramento California is broke. Never hear anything about it of course not it’s all covered up. How many more or like that? I really think this place is no different. Millions of dollars pouring into this town and where short of police firefighters teachers doctors ridiculous and yes, they’re short cause they don’t wanna pay anybody

Excellent thanks for that… bob

don't feel bad about a "bucket list" which didn't happen as planned!!! my "bucket list" had a happy marriage listed ;;; that didn't happen either.😱

Well, I had a few things on there that are probably not gonna happen. Pensacola dragstrip was one of them, but it is now closed but finishing that DM and driving it out of here would be one of them for sure.

open hood with amazing engine detail . this B-61 will look great next to my AIM B-81/B-75. will this be available through BMT ?
