Tom he won't go lower then $1000. It's worth it in scrap. You thinking of picking it up? Road trip?

I agree, starting with a better truck will save me in the long run. I see OldMacks.com has a bunch of B61's for $5000-6500. I'll just start putting money away and save a few more $$ and get a better rig to start with. As long as its a good runner and not all rotted, I can deal with spraying new paint on it. This way I can make it mine.

I'd go out to Nevada in a heartbeat. Love Vegas! Then take a ride up the 375 to Rachael and check out the military planes and UFOs that don't exist.

No surprise that along the boarder of Texas and Mexico it's all blue counties.

Vinny I was looking for U model but I didn't know which was a DM and which was a U. Ill keep posting more.

It worked to Richard Gere in Pretty Woman and he got a bonus hooker!

OK since the last edition of Big Tow featured a Peterbilt and a pair of Freightliners here are a couple Mack wreckers that I found in the interwebs:

Well looks like 4 more years of Obama joke of the day.

We're all fucked!

That one on the cape is a pretty stout unit. Price doesn't seem too bad if its a good runner. Needs a 5th wheel on the back or a Holmes 750 wrecker body.

It's going to be a close one but as long as NObama stays behind we're in good shape.

I like to know before I go to sleep too but when WV posted a projected winner with 0% if the votes tallied that's ridiculous. I can see if you have 70% of the votes but how can you say with 0-10% only checked.

I am watching the election and on the bottom of the screen starts scrolling the amount of votes and % to the canadates. Then it says on the left side amount tallied. Well the one bone head state says 0% tallied 0 for Obama and 0 for Romney. Then there is a check mark next to Obama as projected winner. How the F@$k can you project the winner of that state when there is nothing tallied. Other states say 1% or 7% tallied and they also project the winner. WTF is wrong with this system? It seems to me to influence undecided voters who will look at that and say forget it why should I bother. When you are done counting each and every vote then you can announce who won your state. NOT BEFORE! Thank you for allowing my rant, you may go on with your life as planned.

I am pissed, no "I Voted" stickers - BASTARDS! Love this list of whacko Third and Independant parties. Scroll towards the bottom: http://www.politics1.com/p2012.htm

When is there a time when mini skirts didn't rule? Back to the subject. I dig that car carrier. I've never seen one like that before.

The wife and I are going to the polls on lunch time. I think they said our polling center has power and is up and running.

That Brockway has NJ QQ plates on it.

Everything I have read online was this was just a bad rumor and was total bullshit to create an Internet buzz. I see power companies from all over the place around here. No one is stopping any crew from working. Just like I heard a house floated down the bay and took out the bridge. Half truth. A house did come by the bridge but it never damaged it. That rumor started within an hour of daylight the next day. All Bs.

That Taylor's truck has been around the block a few times and it shows. It's paid for itself several times over. When I used to tow 15 years ago they had that truck. One thing I learned is its alway better to bring more truck than less when it comes to towing. Years ago the company I used to work for we had a HD3500 Chevy flatbed. The driveshaft came out of the truck as I was going down the Parkway. The u joints gave out on the axle. Grones out of Toms River came out with an R Mack wrecker for that truck. That was overkill. An HD wrecker for a truck thats light duty. They towed us off the parkway back to their lot and we towed it back to our shop with a Ford F450 Super Duty with a Holmes 480 on the sling.

Yesterday at 11:30am I get a phone call from my buddy Goose. He broke down in his Freightliner M2 4 Car Carrier 3 miles from my home and asked if I could bring a couple gallons of water (leaking radiator), starting fluid, and a jump box. He said its been knocking since yesterday but the company mechanic said just keep driving it until something happens. Well I guess yesterday was the day. I get there and his bosses brother was there also with water. We hooked up the jumper, squirted some fluid into the air cleaner and it fired up, stumbled and stalled. We did that two more times and at that point we determined its not getting fuel, I didn't have any tools or a filter wrench and he didn't want to bother trying to figure it out. He said he did what the mechanic said to do, drive it until it dies. I could have run back home for my filter wrenches and see if there was water in the fuel or something but he didn't want to inconvenience me. You kidding? I was couped up in my house for 6 days with no TV or internet. This was entertainment. So they called a couple wreckers and got someone to come. Tow bill, $450 to go about 30 miles. I took some pictures, because I know you guys like pictures. Broken Down ____________________________ Hooking up and checking height ____________________________ Just when they were finishing the hookup, another tow company showed up. Apparently when Goose's outfit called for an ETA and price, the tow company decided just to dispatch before getting the OK from the carrier company to go and pick it up. ____________________________ Because of the height with the car on top, they had to flat tow it. Height before tow, 13'3" - after hookup 13'7". Two bridges were along the route back to his lot. One 14'0" and one 13'9" - They avoided the 13'9" one since they were running real close.

I will try to focus on wreckers or flatbeds when the time comes.

It is Spain. I looked up the trailer and came up with a construction company with multiple locations in Spain.

Very cool Vinny. One thing I noticed now with the hood in place. The cab is mounted to far to the left.

A high school friend of my wife's father passed away about a year ago. She enherited a 1979 KW W900A Aerodyne and a 1985(?) Freightliner Cabover. Unfortunately, I have no idea what motors, transmissions or rears these things have or miles. She sent me two pictures as well as one with her Father with her kids. I said I would be honored to take either truck to a show for her in memory of her father if she wants. I believe he is from Bedford PA. She just moved out there this year to the family home. If any one knows the trucks or her Father, I think it would be nice to show them to people as I was told he had great pride in his rigs and was proud to be a truck driver. Just wanted to share these beautiful trucks and a great man to everyone.
