Brocky

Thanks to all who have posted on this topic.... I have learned a lot, even though I will never use it..

My wife bought one of those smooth top stoves, I have not had any trouble cooking on it, BUT the damn thing stays hot for a long time after you shut it off!!!! Must be very inefficient power wise????

When I was a kid I ate a lot of cottage cheese.. We had a Jersey cow and whenever some milk went sour Mom cooked it into cottage cheese..

Joey Please.. I am trying to figure out to print just that last page of the topic?? YES!! I am a computer dummy!!!

Joey, Can you email me the recipe for the crust?? If it does not have any flour in it? My son who is Gluten free can try to build one. Thanks Brocky

I presume that Iowa 80, Mideastern, Wildwood FL, and the other big chrome shops only stock for newer trucks. Try contacting one of our ATHS chapter members, Lewis Cantrell, d/b/a DTP Chrome Shop in Spartanburg SC. dptinc@hotmail.com Lewis has an old 48 foot movers trailer which is a display unit inside and he attends / sells at many of the truck shows in the southeast. He might be able to help you out???

I just read on the Gateway Pundit that the Minneapolis police have tucked their tails between their legs and gone back to their stations leaving the rioters to have their way in the city.. What does this say to the rest of the country?????? https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/breaking-minneapolis-police-including-chief-forced-retreat-after/

I think Vlad and Paul are mostly tight.. Most fire trucks were build as single axle drives, unless it was to be a tanker or VERY heavy pumper.. You will have to find the serial # on the frame to identify it further. It is very possible that the first restorer put that cab and hood with the B-85 emblem on another twin screw tractor chassis????? If you can find the number, send it to the Mack museum ( with a donation) and they can tell you how it left the factory.

Welcome to BMT!!!! Another country heard from??? I do not think we have anybody from Turkey to compliment our Russian, Irish, Dutch, and Aussie participants. B-85 should have been a fire truck originally?? #4 looks like the factory headlight switch, #6 if that is a handle on it, might be a hand throttle or PTO engagement?? If it has a cable follow it.. #11 might also be the hand throttle???

Ask George Soros!!!!!!!!

Interesting picture.. I have never seen a quad with a spread drive axles.. In Virginia I seen to remember seeing a dump like this with 3 or 4 pusher axles??

Hippy, I think you are right, the Brown with brown trucks was a carpet hauler???

Have you pulled up VanDerHaag's website. They are a big truck salvage outfit based in Iowa and advertise in the ATHS WOT. If I remember right they were a big sponsor of the ATHS Des Moines Iowa show in the mid 20teens?
