Mike Please send me an email at brocky45@prtcnet.com and I will keep you posted on these shows. Also please keep me posted as to when you are coming east to a show as I have been to Brad's show several times. Hopefully we can cross paths and meet in person. Brocky

Mike This year it was the 1st weekend of Nov. Keep your eyes on the calendar in ATHA WOT. There is also a show at Spencer NC in the spring where they have been shown. Do not know what will happen next year as the owner of them passed away in December.. Here are some prewar ones from the 100th anniversary in Henderson in 2010

One of the best meals I ever had.. Chicken and dumplins only made with squirrel meat!!! A Louisana speciality

Gearhead Here is a link to a topic / thread which is over 500 pages long with many many pictures of working plow equipment. Macks of all sizes, Walter's, Oshkosh's, Fords, Autocars, Binders, and all the newer Frtlnrs,W Stars,ETC http://www.plowsite.com/showthread.php?t=20489 Brocky

How about some more info??? Date?? Better location??? ETC??

Ryan Welcome to the wonderful world of tired iron. Sent you an email

There are a lot of those double wing plows working in the Tug Hill Plateau area of NYS between Syracuse and Watertown. Week be fore last they got 6 foot of snow in about 3 days, Plus some wind to keep it fluffed up!! They need that big equipment to open the back roads. Vinny probably has them coming right by his front door. Maybe he can get us some pictures??

Thanks for the pictures. We did not make it over as planned. If you have more I would appreciate them Thanks Brocky

I can remember seeing Dorn's around Syracuse when I started with Ithaca Delivery in 67.

Jim That is a good looking Mack. But a real one would have a big V on the front and double wings..

Here is a link to a lot of snow removal equipment. The topic is over 500 pages long and most of the old stuff is in the first 200, but has newer Macks all the way to the end. Have to hunt for them, but there are a lot of pictures of RM 4X4's. http://www.plowsite.com/showthread.php?t=20489

Bad Dog The DT ones before the white purchase would have been either 6 or V8 Internationals. After that REO gas jobs and probably Cummins Diesels. Cannot remember if they uses any Detroit's??

The Bullnose's have been there for the last 20 years. There is a blue/black third one that moves around once in a while. A few years ago someone on the ATHS site checked them out and the owner thinks they are made out of GOLD!! The B models have only been out about 5-7 years. They yellow one was originally a mixer/dump.

The Navy Seabee's had a 6X6 whit the Dodge cab in the 60's. There used to be a junk yard full of them on US 49 north of Gulfport Miss.

Doug Did you contact Michelle Cole in Smithville TX????? She has shop manulas for all the big Ford from that era.. MichellHC@aol.com Brocky

Yes that is John Vanatta's COE Ford.. Does anyone know who owns all the sharp Diamond T's???

The Super 8 was nice and clean, reasonable prices,refrig and micro but no coffee pot in room,24 hr coffee in lobby, no problems.. Even had white Americans that spoke English working the desk!!! First night went down the road to Cracker Barrell, the second night just walked next door to a great Pub!! A couple of beers and big a$$ good sandwiches with no worries about driving afterword. My buddy and I ran all back roads from the bottom of Fancy Gap back to Winston Salem with a stop at the Keystone Museum on Sunday on the way home. Leon said it was the best trip we had taken since roaming all over northern New Mexico and Colorado on our way to the ATHS Colorado Spgs show in 2007.

I spent 3 hours at the museum on the way home from Lititz. A Fantastic place you can lose a whole day there!! They bought 6 or 7 trucks at Del DeYoung's auction.

More from Gerhart's

We are leaving South Carolina Thurs AM. Hope to meet many of you.

I saw the Wilkins one at Macungie several years ago. He is a son of Art Wilkins who had the big Diamond T auction in Kansas last summer, and has a big shop in Bethel PA.

What is the story on the extended snout??? Bigger engine / better cooling???? Was this factory??

He is a member of the Western North Carolina chapter and drives it to a lot of shows. It will definitely be at Cherokee on October.

Mark Email Dave Hemelright at Brockway-Dave@charter.net and he can give you any info you want on that truck Brocky
