  1. I was 6'2" and 180 when I graduated from high school and then grew to 6'4" and 180, and stayed the same until about 30 then truck driving caught up with me and grew to 250... after retirement have got back to 230-240, but at 78 y/o still have 50 lb of beer hanging over my belt!!!!!
  2. Jim, Our prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.. Thankfully your second heart problem happened while you were in the hands of a doctor...Will be looking forward to your words of wisdom on here!!
  3. Maybe the 3X is the waist but the legs are tapered instead of being loose and floppy????
  4. Yes he did!!!!! Some of them are now in the Keystone Museum in Colonial Heights VA..
  5. Awesome Video!!!! Sound great!!!
  6. Swishy, Thank you for posting the link to your topic on the HCVC forum.. I get that newsletter and thought maybe our American friends would like to see some great Aussie Iron..
  7. Here is a link to the Heritage Truck Assoc of Australia Rocklea, QLD, AU Show May 20 & 21, 2023 Which included the 60th anniversary of the Mack of Australia plant in Brisbane AU.

  8. Jim Tomer "claimes????" he does not like Macks, But part of it may be put on?????? He has a lot of interesting tales about trucking to the Prudhoe Bay Alaskan oil fields in the winter!!!
  9. Geoff I have to agree with you.. I know Jeff WAI stops in once in a while.. Maybe he can work something out with Barry to bring a WAI section over here?????
  10. Tom Thanks much for taking the time to post the whole gallery!!!
  11. I have got DSL on my house phone line.. Has been good except when the electrical power goes out.. Our Dish Satellite TV goes off for every time there is a hard thunderstorm in the area !!
  12. Glad your had a safe trip!! Have a Miller for me!!!
  13. Thanks for that Brock Oil tractor.. I saw it a couple of years ago, but did not find anybody to talk to, am wondering if they are any relation???? The late Richard Brock, the red Federal from Florida, and I talked at a show and if we were relation it was many many generations ago..
  14. Vlad, I am NOT going to argue with you as we cannot see enough of the front .. The majority of the Quebec trucks I have seen of that chassis size/useage have a twin steer configuration???
  15. Thanks for the pictures!!! Will be looking forward to the entire album after you get home.. Will not be able to see you due to the wife's health problems.
  16. Jim. WELCOME!!!!!!!

    Newbies???

    I agree with all of the above.. just another way to get attention when your personality does NOT deserve it..
  18. I have been a member of both, ATHS & ATCA for the last 20 years. About the only reason I stay with ATHS is because I am an officer in our local chapter, Palmetto Upstate. Our chapter is active on the local level by piggy backing our shows on local Farm Days shows which is a win-win situation for both of us, they take care of all the presenting work and our trucks help with advertising which helps draw their spectator crowd to support their charitable donations.

    I have been to about 10 ATHS national shows in the last 20 years I have been a member including both Yakima WA and Reno NV. Both Baltimore and Reno were clusterf##ks!!!! Not enough Room!!! And everything hemmed in by portable fencing.. Reno was definitely NOT old fart friendly as you had to walk too far to get to the trucks or even your golf cart and the indoor displays were spread out in several rooms on two different floors!!! The west coast shows have always gone for a high dollar venue.. Look at Fontana Speedway in 2004!!! I agree with the ATHS East coast shows being better, BUT BUT ATCA Macungie is still the best overall show!!!!!!!
  20. Dan, That was a political maneuver by a past Exec Director!!!! And Eddy replaced it with JOT..
  21. Another site that has bit the dust:: Brockway Trucks.com
