Red Horse

I can't tell you how many times I read Big Joes to my sons, one now 49 and the other 47. As a matter of fact, since my wife passed away 11/21, I finally decided I have to go through a huge collection of kids books and pick out a few to save..for my great grandsons!😎

Agree, very little media coverage. There are so many things the new generations don't get. I had 6 uncles that served. Not surprisingly only two that saw combat- the others were typical support troops. My Dad was born in 1907 so too old-was a builder and spent the war cranking out 4 story brick buildings for Ma Bell. As a kid I grew up watching Victory at Sea every Sunday night and reading books about it. Unbelievable sacrifices by so many. And these dummies today don't understand the contribution of American industry....Ford turned a farm into Willow Run that was cranking out a B-24 every 59 minutes! What industry do we have left?

Have no fear..just saw announcement with Jags new car-fugly plus they will be 100% electric by '26.. so by 27, figure that should do it. glad Ford sold it when they did.

Dave,- If a single axle, they would have had to borrow an AC from Gerosa or Colonial😎 Surprised they didn't pull tracks off. A-Car nice as was the Ford Super Duty hauling the boom section.

An early rotator-that is the hook can rotate😎 In any case this truck probably could handle most wrecks that today would require at least two rotators plus a ramp truck to pick up any loose parts..kinda of like a ladder truck going to a grass fire.

You are asking a logical question which many ask. Mack spent a lot of money to design the new B Model with its "Aero look" and in so doing produced a cab that was less comfortable and with less visibility than the truck it was designed to replace. I've always felt it came down to marketing guys-even in the early fifties they did exist- who felt they had to offer something new. Ask me what was better about the B, let me think..................uh give me a few more days😎

Given what you have been through, that grandson has to brighten your day!

Okay Freightrain, somthing on BaT you might be able to upgrade. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1964-ford-country-squire-91/

Unreal-no trace of the house.

My guess would have been International..with the 2000 series-I think around 63??

I spelled it wrong-"Morooka" tracked dumper that can rotate 360 degrees. I think there are others too that swivel 90 degrees left or right.

Moroka!

All you can ask for.

🤙 Alwas nice to get a feel what other shows are like. We did around 450 trucks in two days. I wasn't crazy at first about two days but there is enough turnover from Sat to Sunday to see new trucks on second day.

Sorry about that..but if he did train her, a great employee!
