Pawel Thank you much for the pictures.. I always enjoy pictures from all over the world.. Especially the locally taken ones like these versus the tourist/travel publications. Is all of Poland basically flat plains like you have pictured or do you have some hills / mountains also??
-
KS That is a neat article.. Thanks for posting.. I know that they are Italian styling, But some of them sure do look like they have an English background.. Or as the Aussies would say " A Pommey Truck"

KS Thank You.. That Salmon Chase name did not compute in my memory bank either..

Brocky replied to eddeere's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Also consider adding some Dyna Mat.. I think Larry Freightrain here has added it to his and over on the Brockway Trucks site Tom Millard (Oldspwr) has a very detailed photo posting of adding it to his fathers Brockway 361. -

Contact Daryl Gushee Heavy Haul in Glouster ME. He has a website. If he does not have a truck in your area he might know someone who does? -

Thanks for the pictures!! Glad to see you are back in good health and acting normallly again!! Can I borrow your cleaning lady to do my office???? Wife might not like it tho!! About 10 years ago I loaded a couple of loads of furniture on the south side of Lynchburg going to the Officers Club / Motel in Pensacola FL. It might have taken a little longer and a few pull ups but at least you did NOT put rutts and tire tracks in their lawn, So that makes you a lot better "Wheel Man" than the brand name "Steering Wheel HOLDERS"!!!

1949 Mack EH tractor value?
Brocky replied to Wayne Elliott IV's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Wayne In reference to Paul's comment on ethanol gas. Besides the water seperation problem, that s**t will eat up all the rubber components / gaskets in the lines, fuel pump, and carbs... Here is a link to a listing of stations which sell NON ethanol gas. I use it exclusively in ALL my pre 2000 year vehicles and even new small engines. http://www.pure-gas.org/ -

KBS also has a good frame paint similiar to POR 15 which can be applied with a brush and look sprayed. Check with Eddy Lucast on the Just Old Trucks site. -

This was the 4th year the Mid Easter Chrome Stop on exit 125 of I-26 in Gaston SC sponsored a Cruise In of all trucks. This year I counted 40 trucks about equally split between Antique / Historical and working trucks of which about 4 or 5 fell into the Show and Shine class. Complete with a pulled pork BBQ lunch and fund raiser for the Special Olympics children.

This showed up at the Mid Eastern Chrome Stop "Cruise In" in Gaston SC last Saturday.. Twin Steer 2 drives, then a tag axle, then a powered steerable final axle. The operator said the boom goes up 200 feet.

This is an email I recieved last week from a friend -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Bennett about Donald Trump. Subject: Written by the distinguished Bill Bennett about Donald Trump. I think you will find it very interesting and alarming. You might want to take the time to read it. PHD - Secretary of Education under Ronald Reagan Cultural studies at the distinguished and renown Heritage Foundation Interesting take on Trump. William J.. Bennett, Host of Bill Bennett's Morning in America Show, is one of America's most important, influential, and respected voices on cultural, political, and education issues. He has one of the strongest Christian world views of any writer in modern times. What I See Happening In a Trump Presidency By Bill Bennett "They will kill him before they let him be president. It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump. Don’t be surprised if Trump has an accident. Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few. It's about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it's in all of their interests to protect one another. It's one for all and all for one. It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We’re the patsies. But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened. Donald Trump can self-fund. No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke. He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart. It's no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. It's because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club. They talk big, but they won’t change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations – like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations. These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But there's one man who isn't beholden to anyone. There's one man who doesn't need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher's union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign. Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn’t need anyone’s help. That means he doesn’t care what the media says. He doesn’t care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat to those people. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters. Don’t you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don’t you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don’t you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to de-fund Obamacare or Obama’s clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right? First, I'd guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything. Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account. The NSA, the SEC, the IRS, and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They surveil everything. Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists, so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment. Fourth , why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement, if you’re a good old boy, you’ve got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose, they win. But Trump doesn’t play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media, and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides but not Trump. Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama's birth certificate. He questioned Obama's college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university. Now, he's doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do. He's questioning our relationship with Mexico; he's questioning why the border is wide open; he's questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he's questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he's questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he's questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad. Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick. Good question! I'm certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website. By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion. Trump will ask if Obamacare's architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying. Trump will investigate Obama's widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama's college records.. Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election. How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election? Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop Trump. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked, telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant. Trump's election would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate. Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama's records, the game is over. The goose is cooked. Holder could wind up in prison. Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money. Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi. The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison. Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled. Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters. Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved. That’s why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump. Yes, it's become open season on Donald Trump. The left and the right are determined to attack his policies, harm his businesses, and, if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates. But they can't silence him. And they sure can't intimidate him. The more they try, the more the public will realize that he's the one telling the truth". Please don't delay in forwarding to your fellow Americans...
