Art Reed might have just what you're looking for. He had a big red steel nose Mack, I couldn't get a picture. http://www.allbusiness.com/companyprofile/Art_Reed_Equipment/CD581A0DA7AE3D16D26F2372A09B0F8D-1.html

yeah!..what Greg said. Train didn't have enough power- must've needed Peterbilts to do the job.

I think I saw Cooper-Jarrett trucks at www.diecastdirect.com , but they weren't matchbox.

I bought mine at the ATHS show in Colfax,N.C. last year. That's coming up soon,Nov. 6th.

no,not right off hand. I live down south of Lynchburg a little ways and I travel up 64 pretty often.

...which is a common occurence here.

Nice collection there. I like that McLean truck-mine's a straight truck.

whereabouts in central Va. are you,if anywhere?

That's exactly why I hate Advance Auto Parts! You can't even buy a generic type item without a serial number for something! I tried to get a battery for an MTD mower once, but didn't have the serial number. The parts guy threw his hands up and said "I need that,there's a thousand different batteries!" So I threw my hands up and said "they don't even make a thousand different batteries" and left the other items I had picked up on the counter and went across the street to Western Auto. Told the man what I needed and he went and got one off the shelf. Pretty much the same deal as when I stopped at a different Advance store to get a headlight for the truck,and told them it was for the spaceship I was building in the backyard.

If I had only realized then...I'd have bought a truckload of 'em and put them in the deep freeze! 30 years ago you could walk into any truckstop and they had dozens and dozens of gear shift knobs on the shelf,all shapes,colors,and sizes. Now you just can't find them or they're outrageously expensive. I had 2 red glittery ones,one was in the top of my toolbox and I put one on the transfer case lever on the mud bogger. The guy I sold the bogger to gave it back to me when I asked him if he'd sell it to me, and I put both in the mixer.

It do,it do! That's pretty much what I use,but I left out the can of beer this time. I did hear several people say it was the best chili they'd ever had. I put 4 1/2 lbs. of ground beast in it.

Man,what a bunch of b.s! The DMV's must be the same all over-I had to pay personal property taxes on a '94 Taurus I had for 2 years after it had been parked with a blown engine! I kept telling them the car was off the road,junked, but I had to take the title to the DMV and turn it in,so it can't be titled again,or I had to keep paying taxes on it. Pretty good car too,all it needed was a motor-everything else was fine.

That's my m.o.

hmmmm...think i'll go over to Altavista to the Chinese restaurant.

This pretty much says it all...

Indeed.

coulda' been worse-good thing you didn't get him a bazooker and wonder what it would feel like to be shot in the ass with it

Well, since I had to go to Appomattox today I stopped and got some good pictures of the black Superliner-not even blurry. I've seen this truck on the road many times. It was Carter Bros. Logging's truck, I just didn't know it 'til today- I could still see the name on the door. Didn't look quite as good up close as it did from 460, but still a nice looking unit.

me too- "that's just funny right there" (Larry the Cable Guy)

I believe it's in Birmingham,AL...yeah, pretty sure it's Birmingham.
