  1. Maybe if you buy your new to you used tires from a dealer he will take the old one??? Especially if you get mounting included in the purchase??
  2. I like that!!!!!!! Just do the wheels next and you will be done!!!!!
  3. Technically with Antique/Historic plates you do not have to stop, BUT as long as you are mechanically fine it is better to swing in so they can see the plate than it is to have them chase you down thinking you are running the scale.. Surprisingly many of them just want to look at an antique truck!!!! With my 3500 Dodge and 32 foot gooseneck trailer I by pass most of the scales.. In Iowa where the sign said "All Towed Vehicles" when the lady pulled me around back basically all she wanted to know was I was NOT Commercial.. Also if you go up 29 to Shady's then route 6 to 340 to above Winchester then cut over to 11 you will not have any scales or interstate traffic to worry about!!!
  4. I know and understand the great weekend of racing.. BUT If anyone asks you only race for TROPHIES!!!!! That way neither you or the truck are compensated.. Our SC state diesel cop stated that ribbons and trophies do NOT count, But breakfast or a case of beer do if moving someones vehicle for them.. About the only time it would matter is if you are involved in a serious accident and a lawsuit entails a smart a$$ lawyer!!!
  5. Ditto to Dean's comments!!
  6. Bob Ditto on the legs!!!!! My wife found a cane with a flip down seat online and it is a lifesaver... You can see it in the last informal picture..
  7. Tom I am liking your green combo more and more!!!! Get the wheels and visor done and you will have a very SHARP truck!!!!!! And a whole lot cheaper than painting the whole thing..
  8. Just a thought?? Personally I would go for the dark green spokes and the light green on the rims.. Also a pair of "Hollywood Glaspak" mufflers so she will bark some???
  9. The interesting thing is "Where to hell is he????" Resign / drop out if the race for the most important job in the world by a Tweet????? Did he even send it or one of the Dumbocratic buddys???? Has not been seen on public news for a week???
  10. I would say marinate it good and charcoal or broil???
  11. I do NOT know what this country is coming to???? I expect to see serious violence at BOTH national conventions this year!!! Like the 1968 Democratic convention.. Could this be the opening shot of a civil war???
  12. And maybe (??) the bumper white also???
  13. Treated respectfully that R model will be a great workhorse on the farm for the rest of your life..
  14. They hold the reunion and show every 5 years, so 2025 will be the year. We were there 3 days looking at the about 1000 trucks in the show as well as God knows how many trucks permanently in buildings, sheds and out in the open. There are several walls of Haul of Fame drivers pictures and biography's. There is the Gahn (sp??) railroad museum next door, which I think has a separate entrance fee, and the KW museum building which is part of the whole complex. There are also some other tours available. We took a bus tour of the McDonald (??) mountain range. I think you read my report on the ATHS Down Under tour on the old Just Old Trucks website which is gone now.
  15. Paul, Thanks for the info.. I was so impressed by everything at Alice Springs, I probably did not read all the placcards completely.
  16. According to the placcarding at the Aussie Haul of Fame Museum in Alice Springs NT AU this is the first Road Train.. A civilized WW 2 Diamond T. That pile of drums is on the last trailer.
  17. You did NOT look too well at Macungie!!! There were several of them there..
  18. I have my show registration on the Pony Express and have a room in Cortland reserved.. Can I look for some of you to visit with??? Remember to keep the Mack logos undercover.. Some of the older die hard Brockway people still do NOT accept that Mack shut them down!!!!
  19. Bob, Sterling was out of the upper midwest (Chicago??), started as Sternberg but changed the name as WW 1 started.. Built a lot of large military 6X6's for WW 2 and continued to build chain drive trucks into the early 1950's when White Motor bought them.
  20. I will bet that the service department went "Hog Wild" when that rollback pulled into the lot?????
  21. Most of the BIG roll backs that long are used by the equipment rental companys.. Check the ones in your area to see if they are going to trade / update their equipment either at their location or their associated / nearby locations..
  22. There was a multi page topic on the Nairn Transportation truck busses on the old Just Old Trucks site, but all that info is lost. They ran tractor trailer busses with Marmon Herrington 4X4 and 6X6 tractors between Damascus and Baghdad, across the desert, as well as between other Mid East cities. I have also seen pictures of them in Australia.. I almost think Henry Ford had some running in Detroit during the War?? If Jeff Lakaszcyck checks in he might still have a lot of the Nairn info on his computer??
  23. Lets NOT open that can of worms again!!!
  24. City Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!
  25. Also check out the availability / prices at the equipment rental places..
