    That's heap cheap. Mass diesel truck show Brockton Fairgrounds Sunday mostly newer stuff but a lot of antiques too, grab Bill and come down.

    There's a local show Sunday I figured since the project moves around on it's own I might as well throw it on the trailer and take it for a Sunday outing. Put a new chin on the Kenworth today too much better than the painted, rusted, dented and broken one that it came with.

    Those are military humvee tires. The military changes tires out on all vehicles every few years and a local guy got a hold of a few hundred of the take offs. I bought 5 off him for $200 pretty much brand new. Haven't seen any for sale lately though so I'll have to take care of these.

    It's amazing how fast that truck came together, a couple of years ago it was a chassis with wheels. Herb brought it down to Florida where they could put more time into it. It was non running at Macungie last year and it didn't want to go back into the trailer, it fought back all the way in.

    Haven't been able to make major progress on this for a while mostly because it has had a real bad overheating problem since I got it running. It would go to 220 to 240 degrees runningat idle for 10 minutes. Changed the tstat and the temp sender and still did the same thing. I didn't want to close up th front until I was sure it was fixed. Took the new tstat out and flusef the colling system . Tested the thermostat and found the SECOND NEW ONE was also defective. Changed it and doesn't go over 180 now. Full speed ahead and mounted the fenders now it's starting to look like something. Got to get going on the doors now

    Hi Bob, He bought it from a guy in Waterbury Ct last year. Me, Vic, Dana, Matty, and Shawn took a Saturday field trip and drove it back. Think his name is John, he sat at our table at last year's spring breakfast. Funny thing was that John's ex girlfriend used to drive my Autocar for Waterbury Petroleum Products pulling a tanker.

    It got shipped down early to get loaded with the Manhattan. Very convenient to have multiple trailers going between Mass and Florida every week. But they did make the trip down old school in a 67 Acar daycab . I would probably break down before I hit Ct. Herb can hop in anything and go anywhere and not have a problem.

    A couple of my friends Herb Fleck and Victor Bernan are bringing Herb's just finished Mack Manhattan and Victor 's ED tow tow truck to Des Moines. The Manhattan was at Macungie last year mocked about 60 percent done. Looks real nice now, ain't gonna see another one I don't belive. Really wish I was going too but I like Macungie better than any other national show.

    I went to a pizza hut all you could eat lunch buffet. All I could eat was one slice

    When it comes to Pizza Hut I'd rather eat the box it came in than the pizza. Sorry to hear of your unfortunate dinner event.

    Always wanted to go to the Big Texan. My kid went for a roadtrip from Boston to Phoenix with his friend and texted me a photo of his steak at the Big Texan. Rotten kid.........

    Putting it away looks like folding a map.

    Didn't get a chance to look too close underneath them as my wife was waiting in the car. Yeah I was happy that they didn't do anything irreversible to the EF

    Yup, business trip to Vegas for the sign trade show to see my customers. Work work work. Plus the marathon is the most boring thing I can think of.

    Used to see a lot more of them 15 -20 years ago. When I first met Merk (R model Mack pickup truck that's at Macungie every year ) he had 3 of them lined up out back in Shrewsbury Ma. They are long gone now. I don't think the Wayroc truck got driven much they said it was like having concrete tires it rode so hard

    I think that Barrington show was about the only onehe ever took it to. Walter Balchunas, an old truck mechanic friend of mine next door to my old shop did the mechanical work on that when it was being restored.

    Wow I didn't realize Wayne sold that truck. It was parked in a garage 3 miles down the street from my house. It was the only C model I've ever sat in, didn't get to drive it though.

    My dad was the milkman fir a couple of years in the mid sixties. He went back to building houses and from the Divco to an Autocar dump. I used to drive by the Divco dealer (Whittemore Truck Sales Brockton Ma) twice a day going to and from work in the early eighties. They still had a bunch of used ones there for sale and ones being repaired. Went to our son and daughter in law''s house Saturday and noticed they had a milk box by the garage door, home milk delivery alive still.
