1958 F.W.D.

Whichever one blows a rod through the block first- then I can replace it with a Mack or Cat, or a Briggs & Stratton, depending on the application!!!!!!

Well when you guys come back, keep me in the loop and we'll make sure you see all the touristy stuff. Like I said when you want to see the Philadelphia Fire Museum, I will make a phone call and the curator will personally show you around!!!! As for the cheese steak, I'll take you there myself!!! Oh- and we're going into Manhattan to get you proper corned beef and pastrami sandwiches!!!!

.........Until it was time to tuck you into bed..........

I used to work in a small engine shop when I was 16. Craftsman products were the WORST, and Craftsman products paired with Tecumseh engines were absolute downright nightmares.

Right off Oregon Ave, the restaurant is almost directly under I-95.

Doug Maney says unofficial truck count was 604

Yes, Gearhead204 is from the east side of Washington State- they got on the plane in Philly at 6pm today. He got up with me yesterday to find out about places to go in Philly, he wanted to see some of the historical stuff and get a cheese steak so I sent him to "Olde City" where Independence Hall, Betsy Ross's Crib, and Elfreth's Alley are. Then I sent him to Tony Luke's, a pretty good steak place (no, not those Tourist Trap Geno's or Pat's Steaks.....) Told him to get a Cheese Steak, his buddy to get a Roast Pork Sammich, and split them in half so they could each try it out. When they land in Seattle they have to drive home- 5 hours......UGH! But yes we should give them a BMT.com keychain or a BMT.com rubber chicken or something.....????

Merits of Detroit Diesels? I don't recall this conversation. I do remember directing several people to the local grocery store's pet aisle to find the cheap 50lb bags of kitty litter, and also the local hardware store to buy ball-peen hammers and ear muffs, but merits of DD's? Nope wasn't me......???????

I saw you- no one could miss you with the pronounced limp of the left side of your body

I have always been in love with the 4-door cabover Marmon RV that comes to Macungie- but this......THIS would be my ultimate RV!!!!

0615- just crawled out of bed, looked outside and it's beautiful!!!! As per the usual operating procedure, wife came to the show last night with Extra Small, Small, Medium and Large and we went to the family reunion picnic (No I did NOT win the $500 bucks this year, but I did win a $50 gift certificate to Berube's Truck Accessories) and then took me home. This morning a buddy is swinging by the house around 0830 who will take me back to the show, and I'll bring the FWD home this afternoon.

I wonder if that antique mixer was heading to some truck show that I have heard about in eastern Pa?

Macungie 2014 Comedy Club.........Feel free to add any you may have. And please, by all means, fire away with your captions..... First one is for OTHERDOG......This is crying for some of your infamous photochopped cartoon bubbles!!! I don't know what they are doing, I'm not certain THEY know what they are doing. Extra Small! 10 mins after we got home from the family reunion- I told Small to head upstairs to the bathroom and start getting undressed for a shower, and I got distracted for a minute doing something for mommy....And this is what I find at the bottom of the steps.

How'd they catch his ass? He have some of your stuff on him or something? He come back and get caught on candid camera???

The Fogelsville Inn is FANTASTIC!!!! Looks kinda dreary from the outside, but don't underestimate the place!!!!

Ken, Mike was having trouble going to sleep last night, so I offered to come out and tuck him in and give him and his teddy bear a good night kiss- but he said he would rather have had that redhead do it. So I called the TK and got her on the phone. She said "The creepy looking guy at the end of the table? He looked like an axe murderer" and she hung up on me.

0750 here in the Lehigh Valley. As I type this, looking out the window of my house in Hellertown, about 20 miles east of Macungie- it is raining cats and dogs. Which it has been doing on and off for the entire week. I just watched the weather, and it is supposed to lighten up later this morning, and then a cold front will push through- potentially touching off more thunderstorms. GOOD NEWS: It will clear up overnight and Saturday and Sunday are forecast to be beautiful. BAD NEWS: The damage is already done- Macungie Memorial Park is, and will be a mud pit. Oh well, not the first year it has happened for the show. I will be out today at some point guys- not gonna rush. Probably after lunch.

That is absolutely fascinating!!! The body work sorta looks like Gerstenslager but it's not......Wow this would make a cool restoration into a RV and for towing a toy trailer!!!!!

But note: The Pete would have disintigrated while the HM simply said "WTF wazzat? Musta been a moskeeter or somethin...."

The usual gang of idiots I mean a whole bunch of us made it out to the TK tonight and had a nice meal served by some fine, upstanding young ladies who are working their way through Nun College. I personally would like to thank Doug Maney for setting up this dinner as I think it's important we stare at brestisses support these fine young ladies in their endeavors.

80 trucks there already, 65 of them belong to Yarnall and 15 to Doug Maney.......

Countryboy make sure you are at the Watt's Mack tent at 12:00 high noon for the group photo!!!

No, I haven't. The damn things keep blowing engines. My Silverado however just crossed over 108,000 and still going strong!!!!

Carl, would you happen to know if a 2008 Silverado Z71 with the trailer towing package has that feature? I rarely tow trailers and cannot ever remember towing one with brakes so it may be a moot point, but I will keep this in mind. The girls We will miss you at dinner tonight!!!!

JT the museum will be open on Friday but the buses only run Saturday. Your hotel is not far from the Museum, which is behind Queen City Airport, at the Lehigh Street exit of I-78. Let me know if you need directions. Preliminary weather reports showing the rest of this week, but especially Friday being a washout in the Lehigh Valley- heavy rains predicted for Friday, however Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be beautiful. That won't take away the quagmire of mud however. So if you are bringing a truck, use caution when parking!!!!
