Brocky

GG You are Correct!! I drove one of Peter Grimm's in 2012 when we had 154 trucks on Main street, but I missed getting pictures.

Bob That is why I have stayed at the Econolodge Motel as the parade comes right by the front door.. Actually I have found that the parade is the best time to get pictures of individual trucks as when they are parked on Main St the spectator crowd is so large you always have people in your pictures.. This parade video was taken at the start as the trucks were leaving the Musuem, All of these stills were taken by George Murphey near the end as they approached downtown. http://www.brockwaytrucks.org/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4892 Then go to his flicker link posted in the topic. If you ever get a chance to come East, The Brockway weekend in August at Cortland is definately one to consider between Macungie in June and Gerharts in October.

Gas and a farmer match works best.. Especially if you like the "WHUUMP" when it fires!!!

YEAH!!!! Them ground nesting one get real mad in a hurry!!! I guess the think a lawn mower is a tornado?? Had them chase me all the way back to the house and then the garden hose did not bother them much!!! I found their nest because the lawn mower was still sitting there!!! and YES the gasoline and farmer match works!!!

If it was originally a Matlack truck it might have been a driver trainer truck as the R models I drove for Matlack in 70-72 had NO passenger seat, but a tool box for fittings bolted in..

Rob Here is another Farmall grader conversion in a museum in Leesburg FL and a Farmall one row cotton picker driven backwards

Tom Thanks for your weekly pictures,, always find them interesting.. Glad you enjoyed you vacation.. My wife says the only place we go are where there are truck shows..

There are over 240 pages of Aussie trucks and other information here: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/870/Down-Under-AU,-NZ And another 40 pages of Pommy (British) trucks here: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/38892/pommy-trucks Some interesting reading, drag out a case of VB and enjoy yourself

Bob Call the Brockway gift shop at the museum 607-299-4185.. The ladies there will be more than glad to help you with any items..

GG Run 20 on over to Skaneateles and run down 41 will drop you on 11 just north of the museum.

Mike Depending on how soft the ground is, there is quite a lot of room on the grass behind the tractor barn back toward the railroad tracks.. At least there are always a couple of wreckers around to winch you out of the mud!!!

Corbin KY ???

Our DPS man defines "commercial" as either the truck and/or driver recieving ANY FORM of compensation.. Trophys and ribbons do not count but cash prizes or someone buying you breakfast or a case of beer DO!!!

Boyce I sent you a PM.. go to the very top black bar on this page and click on the envelope.. also my email is brocky45@prtcnet.com I hit a t instead of a y in the other post. I have names and phone numbers in Columbia.

Dave I need some more info on your new REO.. When Logan called Leroy for some history he did not give him a model number that worked and also did not give him any specs.. Do you have my email addy?? If so send the info and any pictures to me and I will get them on to Leroy.. Thanks Brocky

In SC you can put an Antique Auto tag on it which has no gross weight and pull a regularly licensed trailer with YOU OWN stuff on it as long as you meet normal weight laws. with NO CDL!! Will try to send you an email thru here if not email me at brocky45@prtcnet.com

Nice Find!! Will be looking for more pictures.. Mid 50's before White bought them??? I think Roger Gerhart also has one as well as the one who shows up at Macungie..

I sure am glad I am an old fashioned "Old Fart", Bought a new truck last summer WITHOUT any GPS, auto start, or any of this fancy s**t, and carry an old flip style cell phone.. I realize I am not totally immune. but it will make it a lot harder..

The Italian Sausage in meatloaf sound great.. will have to try it.. Thanks for the idea

FWD: Why the big front bumper??? Big winch enclosed???

Is the lack of traffic lights in Winfall the reason you never help those poor girls???

Tom Thanks for taking the time and effort to dig out these facts for us

Thanks for the pictures.. Been across that bridge many times.. before there was any bypass on the WV end..

It is a great place.. My wife and I spent all morning there 2 years ago on our way to the Yakima WA show and I am looking forward to stopping again when we go to the Des Moines show in 2017..

Beautiful country thanks for the pictures.. Also you may have more "snow experience" than some of their other drivers.
