  1. I think the story on the short nosed 900 Longhorn is that it was a prototype that ended up doing service at the proving grounds for many years. Chrysler sent it to Tony Youngblood in Augusta GA to be restored as Tony had several NOS cabs. When Fiat took over the project was sh**t canned and Tony was able to purchase the truck and finished the restoration. Did not know until now he had it up for sale??
  2. Not only the Mack Museum but the America on Wheels museum in downtown Allentown. Everything from 1890 horses up thru the modern high dollar sports cars. It has many Mack trucks and cutaway parts. The 1910 Brockway owned by Mack.. One room showing a start to finish restoration.. I think there was some Andretti money involved in getting it started???
  3. To add to what Paul, 41 Chevy, said the Mystic Seaport near the Groton Sub museum on I-95 is a complete late 1800's whaling village with big sailing ships. And if you get on up into Maine there is the Erv Bickford Collection in Yarmouth.. Part of it is open 24/7 in the city park and the main display, restoration shop and storage yard is open with a phone call.. Right now I do not know if the late Daryl Gushee's New Glouster ME collection / facilities are open. A phone call would not hurt..
  4. Tom, It was great running into the "Redhead"!!! My surprise of the Day!! Complete with a big HUG!! She is definitely a keeper!!! Vlad, the man who hosts the show is an IH / Farmall farm equipment collector and has a small ranch with the herd of buffalo up near his house.. I think they were photographed as much as some of the equipment in the show.. I will post some more pictures in a couple of days after I get my camera downloaded..
  5. Check in with Tom Millard, Oldspwr, on the Brockway site.. He put electric windows in the Brockway 361 he restored for his father.
  6. What there was of it was good, BUT BUT it seemed there were more commercials than trucks!!!! No real overall shots which would show the size and scope of the whole show??
  7. The fast food "steering wheel holders" have just about killed all the sit down restaurants nationwide unless they have a good local business with a larger parking lot.
  8. I understand.. Was basically just kidding as most driveways are not wide enough for a wing..
  9. Jim, One of the Private road Maine paper companies???

  13. Did you stop at that big bone yard in Moriarty?? Always wanted to, but never had the time when they were open..
  14. If the first cutbacks in pay from the shutdown were the congressmen involved, The shut down would end immediately!!!!
  15. Do they have to change all the gear box and axle oils before they get to their destination???
  16. That is a neat truck!! Thank you, Harry
  17. I am attaching a page from one of the Aussie antique truck forums which shows a brochure of Mack using the Brockway Huskiteer 527 cab as a cab on a Mack LCF tractor. Neither Jim Hancock or I can tell if the pictured truck has the flat glass windshield?? https://www.hcvc.com.au/forum/truck_Chat/15057-mack-nothing-but-m-a-c-k-pix?start=400
  18. Probably the Swift driver's neighbors were complaining about him parking, so he used F Model's truck as an example to get out of his bind..
  19. You can start on February 14th to 16th at the ATCA Vintage Trucks of Florida chapter show combined with the ATCA Southern National show, the SNOWBIRD MACUNGIE, in Leesburg FL on FL RT 44 near the I-75 / FLA Pike split at Wildwood. This event is held in a park like setting at Stew Paquette's Farmall Museum with 3 buildings containing over 100 tractors and machinery. Saturday a car club shows up with about 25 cars, plus tractor pulls, vendors, food and music. I will be there with my little Diamond T 201 along with about 75 to 100 other trucks.
  20. And a Merry Christmas to all the MACK Men "Down Under"
  21. Those 2 bolts have an eye in the head of them so if you cannot turn them by hand you can use a bar in them.
  22. With wimmin that HOT in Winfall you should be seeing green grass!!!
  23. My mother had an Easy with the 3 brass plungers that went up and down and a wringer to the rinse tubs. Can remember being in the wringer up to my elbow before she tripped it!!! Next upgrade was a triangular shaped Easy with a rinse spinner on the end. No dryer until mid 60's after we got natural gas.
