The yellow one in the third row may be a Pacific????? -
This is a normal problem.. When I went from a Vermont antique registration to a South Carolina title on my 49 Diamond T 201, I had to do the same thing.. Made an appointment and the girl came out took a look at the VIN plate on the cowl and took a picture on HER phone.. She did not ask to see the number stamped in the the frame and I DID NOT suggest it to her!!!!

Katahdin is a beautiful sight from I-95.. I have seen it going north with a full moon on the snow at 20-30 degrees below zero. One of those beautiful nights when you could run on marker lights ONLY at times!!!!! -
TJC, That is a beautiful truck!!! Thanks for posting it.

CITY BOY!!!!!!!!! For me it is close to 1/2 hour to thee nearest gas station, which does not have non ethanol!!!

99&44/100 % of the DMV workers in all states DO NOT know what the laws actually are!!!!!!! They just go by what pops up on their computer screen. Contact the Public Relations officer for what ever department that the "Diesel Cops" work for and you can usually get the proper answers as they are the personnel working the scale houses and make the roadside stops. Get it in writing (printout) and take it to the DMV and say "this is what I need"!!!!!!! We are lucky to have such a person as a chapter member and he has straightened out several DMV offices.

At least in Nu Joisey you do not have far to go to PA and get some.. Be Glad you do NOT live in the middle of Texas or Montana!!!!!!
-
Get in contact with an ATHS and/or ATCA Chapter member in your area and see what they have done to keep legal.. Our chapter has a member who is a retired SC State "Diesel Cop" and he has connections with some higher ups in the DMV so we get much useful information from him.

AND ALWAYS Use ethanol free gas whenever possible!!!!

Check wit Doug Fetterly of Harrisville NY. He will probably be at the VTOP shoow in Bushnell FL on the Jan 25 &25 weekend. If he does not have one he knows the real name and contact info for past user "U Model Nut" who might have one. -
Air brake issue
Brocky replied to Jizzo17's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
And they must pop out at automatically and set the parking brakes at a set low pressure value.. If I remember correctly it is about 60 PSI ??????? Most roadside "Diesel Cop" inspections the cop will remove the emergency line from the trailer and record the PSI that the button pops.. If it is too low you are grounded!! -
When planning a trip to the Mack Museum also add the America on Wheels museum downtown Allentown to your list.. It was established by both Mack and Andretti money.

Denny, Thank You for explaining the 4X4 CF tractors. I was a dock foreman for Roadway in Syracuse at the time and only saw them going by on the adjacent Thruway.. The first 40ft double's Roadway tried on the NYS Thruway, they took an R 700 in the shop in Akron and installed a Rebuilt 8V71 with the biggest injectors available and changed the rears to 4:56.. Top end 58 MPH!!!! And bought/built 3 lead trailers and 1 tandem converter. The first operation was Buffalo to Syracuse only, then they expanded to Utica also.. I left Roadway before they expanded to Worcester Mass..
-
I can remember seeing them in their yard at the York PA terminal when I went by on I-83.. Probably also saw them on the PA Pike but newer paid that close attention 😟 I also remember the seeing the "Block Tractors", a regular tractor tractor with a large concrete block in place of the 5th wheel and a normal pintal hitch on a reinforced rear crossmember, pulling a single pup across the 40 miles(???) of I-90 across Pennsylvania from Ohio to New York State. CF also had some of their 4X4 "Mountineer" tractors based out of Buffalo for awhile when the NYS Thruway was enforcing a two driving axle rule for pulling doubles.
-
Consolidated Freightways Had what were called "Pennsylvania Suicide Doubles" Running between York PA and Akron Ohio as by latching the front trailer to the tractor frame and pulling a regular pup trailer it became a "Truck Trailer" combination in Pennsylvania.. The long wheelbase and long sliding 5th wheel tractors and lead trailers were custom built with folding landing gear and were kept on on that run only, pulling a rear pup from elsewhere in their system. I think(??) there was a big article on them in the ATHS WOT several years ago about the the time ATHS bought the big neon sign????

While traveling across Canada I saw many loading docks which projected out from the door enough so that the lead trailer of a "B" train could back under it and have access to the doors on the lead trailer.. Paul, Are Australian are loading platforms set up the same??????
