I have been struggling to find info on Procter's Mack B-813SX and just when I had given up all hope of finding anything more, Al Bauman managed to find a dated 8mm short video of Procter's B-813SX moving an antique Mack locomotive in September, 1982. It was on VCR tape so we had it cleaned up, shortened the clip and transferred it to DVD and subsequent upload to You Tube. There is no sound and it is a short clip but it may be of some interest to those that know of this truck and the former Procter Co. The link is as follows: There are some additional "still" photos which I will post in the gallery section. Enjoy! Best regards, John

Kim: My guess would be 1945-1947 EG, EH or most likely an EM model. I'll wait for the Mack Museum to weigh in on this. By the way, the Mack Museum is moving to the Allentown Test Center and the test center will become a customer service and test center where customers can test Mack trucks on the oval and various test tracks. Completion date estimated to be October 2010. Best regards, John

Yes, nicely put!

Barry: I cannot create an album for the gallery. There are no tools to help you upload-I get only "Favorite Gallery Images" and "Image Subscriptions". How can we fix this? Regards, John

The weather forecast is calling for thundershowers on Saturday and Sunday. I sincerely hope they're wrong but take something water resistant just in case. Regards, John

Here is the link. It's an interesting story BUT, I know, I know, you won't be pleased with the lead V#$@vo truck. Shall we meet in Lititz? Regards, John Go to this website: http://www.rbogash.com/Connie/connie-RME-SEA.html and see all the neat photos and great write up of this old Super G Constellation CF-TGE (Called the Connie for short) Aircraft that was taken apart in Rome, New York for the long road trip in sections in August 2009, to Seattle, where it is now almost completely reassembled and placed right next to WWII Boeing B-17 and B-29 that are undergoing complete restoration for the Boeing Museum of Flight. Great photos of how this aircraft was moved across our highways from New York to Seattle , including it's arrival at Boeing (notice the good Seattle Sunny Weather). All three of the above plains are located in the old 2-44 Boeing Plant II Hangar on the West Side of Boeing Field, adjacent on the South side of the old Boeing Corporate Headquarters. This is the same place that all the B-17s were assembled during WWII, as were a lot of the different types of the old Minuteman Missile Ground Support Equipment that ended up in the various missile silos in Montana/Wyoming?Missouri/North and South Dakota. This Super-Constellation is a former Trans-Canada Airlines aircraft that had been used in the past as a TCA, which means it has been used to transport Military and other Govt parts and supplies to whereever they are needed to support various govt programs. It is a very large and long aircraft that is quite high off the ground.

Call Matt Pfahl at 203-266-6455; he's in Bethlehem, CT. Good luck. Regards, john

They can't spell in their ads either! Regards, John

OK-will do. I'll call Dale Francis and talk to him about E9 modifications and perhaps he might share some written stuff that he has that can be shared with the general antique truck crowd. Best regards, John
