  1. GW Thank you or the description!!! I think I remember seeing a picture of the bedbugger (Allied???) "C" train you mentioned but have never seen one in person.
  2. GW, I need a better description of what you are calling a "C" train?????? UPS used a lot of low connect A hitch converters and of course the triples out west..
  3. That is a fancy, about 1953 or 54, 100 series Brockway with a 3 piece windshield and a Queen Anne door..
  4. JC YES!! Brockway Called it the Huskydrive.. With a 5 speed tranny and 2 speed rear that you only used in 5th gear. Also the had 2 Husky's mounted on the hood.
  5. NO!!! But someone must have thought it would be some extra cooling??? The oilfield welders were artists at creating front protection!!!!
  6. That is a great find!!!! I am a big fan of oilfield trucks!! If you are planning on pulling a grain trailer, go ahead and remove the wrecker lift from the back, BUT I would leave the headache rack and the winch on it!! You might have to pull a combine out of the mud one day!!! The engine is a Cummins, with compression release and Jakes, Since there is no plate on the auxiliary drive, or I am looking at the wrong picture(??), it is hard to tell??? Look on the drivers side front of the engine at about 4 o'clock for the aux drive.. It should have a plate on it showing engine specs. I do NOT see any injectors on the side of the heads so it should be an 855 CI engine. Possibility a 290 or 335?? With all the extra switches under the dash you might be right of it being municipal in the past??? Sorry I can not help more, but I am sure you will get more responses..
  7. Here are a couple more pictures:
  8. Bob, It is definitely a place to put on your "Bucket List" to include as a detour in any trip the East...
  9. I am glad you enjoyed the Keystone.. You can spend all day there and not see everything!!! Leon Ledford and I spent a half day there about 10 years ago on the way home from Gerhart's Lititiz PA show...
  10. Is this their B model??? It was in the shop wile we were having Morning tea..
  11. Harry, Is this the truck you are speaking of???? I took these pictures at Ian's place in August 2015..
  12. There was an item on the Daily Caller the other day.. 80 year old Senator from , you guessed it, Connecticut!!! https://dailycaller.com/2024/12/20/rep-rosa-delauro-congress-elon-musk-trump/
  13. Everyone have a Merry and Safe Christmas..
  14. Tommy, You are right on the Keystone or they might know of someone interested. You can use your membership in ATHS & ATCA to get advertisements in WOT and Double Clutch for your friend.. I would say it is in the 10 to 15k $$ figure.
  15. Merry Christmas back at you and also to all the members here at BMT!! Have safe travels..
  16. The governor and Brake chambers should be available at any heavy truck parts store..
  17. The late Erv Bickford of Yarmouth ME hauled a lot of fuel up the mountain also.
  18. Tommy, You have one very beautiful money pit to take to parades and shows.. You DO NOT need another!!!! That second truck still looks like it has a lot of farm use life left in it.
  19. I have been up it twice. the first time was 1950 when I was 5 years old.. We went up in one of their souped up Ford/Mercury station wagons and my grandmother rode the cog wheel railroad.. The second time was in June of 2019 and again rode in their wagon, and had good weather on top..
  20. Maybe that leftist, so called journalist, ought to be married to Hunter..
  21. One of our armed services should be able to put a "Lobster Trap" type basket on a helicopter and capture one of these drones and inspect it????? Then determine who and where it came from!!!! Then start arresting them instead of a citizen trying to protect himself...
  22. until

  24. The government MUST know more than they are saying.. Or the Department of Defense is further behind than usual.. I will give you 10 to 1 that they are Iranian!!! and Iran will try to assassinate Trump!!!
  25. You have a neat project!!! Welcome to BMT!!! Some of your questions have already been answered. Look for a hand operated valve on or under the edge of the dash which will lock the hydraulic brakes in applied position. Our 1947 GMC fire tanker had one.. When Vald from Moscow Russia checks in he can probably help you with European parts sourcing as he knows a Mack group in the Netherlands. Please keep the pictures and progress updates coming.
