  1. That is correct Mark. I bought the whole set a few years ago and there was 8 volumes at the time, but I know there's at least one new volume since then.
  2. one more. You can still borrow the book if you want of course.
  3. I'll take the challenge- I left these pretty big so i'll just post a couple at a time.
  4. I'd be glad to, but I probably won't make it to South Bend. It's still a possibility, but not likely.
  5. Yep, first time i'd seen them around these parts. This truck came north on I-79 and was getting on 70 west at Washington, Pa. when I took this picture.
  6. I remember them too, but I don't have any pictures. There is an article about them and a few photos in the "Trucking Pioneers" book 5, that I have. If you don't have those books I could send it to you to look at and copy,and you could send it back. My scanner doesn't work anymore,I can only take pictures of pictures I'll take a picture of the article if you want,and if you want the book i'll be glad to loan it to you.
  7. Oh, that's the rabbit in the back yard. They used to eat my beans in the garden as soon as they came up, so I bought some chicken wire and put a fence around it. They still come in the yard, but they can't get to those beans.
  8. well,I don't want to be like the perv that hangs around the school yard watching girl's softball practice or anything, but when the gas pump opportunity's there...
  9. I...uhhh...am way out of my league here. I woulda guessed 154.8 kts-nice pictures though!
  10. I'm with you, well said everyone, Rowdy's dead on!
  11. Yep, sometimes the gas pumps can be very interesting!
  12. I don't know. This looks a lot like it though.
  13. I looked through my pictures and found these Superliners. If you think any of them would help you let me know and I can send it to you full size. Also, you probably know about this site-tons of pictures here! http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/trucks.htm
  14. Yeah, it's true- did I tell this story before?..hmmmmm...anyhow, it's very true. I stopped at the TA Truckstop in Huber Heights, Ohio-near Dayton- to take a shower. Must have been around 1979-80, or '81 because I was driving the orange and white 1977 F-model Mack. The truckstop is no longer there. The showers had doors you could lock, but they didn't go all the way to the ceiling or the floor, so you could actually crawl under, or reach over the top. I put my wallet,keys, pocket change,and the leather thing...oh yeah my belt, through the loops on my clean jeans and hung them on the hook on the inside of the door. When I got out of the shower the first thing I noticed was that my pants were gone-nothing, just a bare hook. I put my dirty clothes back on and ran out, but there was no one to be seen. I got the truckstop manager, called the police, but found nothing. Worse part was that I only had about 20-25 dollars cash on me, but the thief took that, my house keys, truck keys, car keys, fuel card, credit card, and a few silver dollars that I got in Reno,Nv. Leaves you with a miserable feeling to know that some lowlife no good bastard just stole what you've worked so hard for so long to aquire. The local police department gave me a form to use for a drivers license until I got a duplicate one issued, and I went out to the truck and took the switch out. I found the main hot wire and stuck a paper clip from it to what ever wire made the dash lights come on, then another paper clip from that terminal to whichever one started the truck. Drove it back to Appomattox with the switch dangling under the dash and paper clips in it. I even spent the night at the truckstop so I could walk the perimeter in the morning, hoping the thief had just taken the money and threw everything else away, but I found nothing. I remember thinking then, and still do to this day, that I wish I had seen that arm coming over the top of that door-I would have twisted it off and shown them what the other end of it looked like. I just hate thieves and liars, especially thieves.
  15. Sorry,once again I couldn't stop myself...
  16. ...sent me this for my birthday-pretty cool,eh?

  18. Great picture taking- it's hard to get a good drive-by picture. I've taken a half dozen drive-bys of the same truck sometimes before I ever get one that's decent. I got a couple of blurry Macks myself this week Took this at a rest area- a 992 Cat loader, no bucket, cab, tires, or wheels. And a 992 Cat i've posted before with the bucket, cab, tires, and wheels on it. Uhhhhh...by the way, I heard them talking about a UFO crash in a canyon near Aztec in 1948 on Coast to Coast AM one night-interesting stuff!
