  1. CBM is a Canadian Concrete company and that unit hauls demo. CBM probably converted a mixer chassis, got the length and the typical 72" spread on the rears. Post # 594 has a long nose mixer photo I posted.
  2. Stony Brook L.I. moved to the Steam Museum
  3. People are following the politicians. There seems to no longer be honest or dishonest peole but caught or not caught. Sucks!
  4. Try having one 4 miles away and another 18 miles away. I only go there 7 am to buy groceries every 2 weeks. I can't wait to get to Vafull time. 1/2 mile just on my drivewaythere.
  5. Gods country!! Sure fortunate to be there.
  6. We have, just hard for the gov. the not hassle us trying to exercise it.
  7. Did you stop at the cesspool sign and get Pierogies?
  8. Welcome here. Sounds like a good plan. Paul
  9. I use Goodfellow Auto Body Supply on L.I. THe MACK paint according to the manager was made by Ditzler from the mid 1930's to early mid 1950's. The #10174 DQE (DQE is ditzlco quick dry enamel) number is the mix code for plain old fashioned Enamel. Since the number does not cross reference to a DMR or DAR Ditzler/ PPG number they can't mix it. The DMR is Acrylic Urethane Enamel and DAR is PPG Del Star. It was also explained that when the original colors were made up to the mid 1960's there was only 12 to 15 tints now there are 80 plus tints. They suggested trying to find an older auto body supply, body shop or vintage collector that has late 1940's early 1950's color chips in R/M or Dupont. I mentioned TCI-Global for their Resto colors, their #400 / 70174 RED cross references to a 70185 DQE Light Red Diamond T / Dodge from 1934 to 1949 NOT MACK. I mentioned what you got was pinkish. If you sprayed it and let it dry 24 hours wa it still pinkish? If it was, their suggestion was to ask the people you got it from to give or sell the needed tint(s) to darken it up to close the needed color. Best I could do for you. Paul
  10. Who needs to vote for her? One "news" program interviewing her addressed her as "Mrs. President". Mrs Clinton said "I'm not elected . . . YET". The CNBC interviewer said to hillary "the election is only a formality, we know you're in".
  11. Was pretty common practice here, but now with APU's on the newer units and some places have regulations on idle time, not so much. Paul
  12. The Easter Bunny drives the Easter car, all the others are out of it sitting there like dummies .
  13. Since Obamamamama is in Ethiopia for a few days maybe it's from them...
  14. Happy birthday!!!
  15. Medium- and heavy-duty vehicles currently account for about 20% of GHG emissions and oil use in the U.S. transportation sector, but only comprise about 5% of vehicles on the road. And move 95% of every item used. So after all is said and done what measures are China, India and SE Asia taking to curb "green house" gases from coal fired plants with no emission controls, vehicles with late 70's type emission systems? Or does our EPA and the Big 'O' and Gina expect the U.S. citzens to carry the full punishment burden of clean air. I also wonder how much the coming Chinese LP heavy truck engine technology influenced the powers in DC ($$$$$$)
  16. My supplier linked me to this sites to answer my question. Shows MACK color code # 400 from 1939 to 1986 listed as four different reds and four different Ditzler/ PPG mix codes. Appears to be year specific in many cases. http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?code=400&manuf=Mack&rows=50

  18. DM-690 1/25 scale resin conversion for the AMT MACK DM-600 doner kit. from from Gary Wallace (gwtrucks@yahoo.com).

  19. 56% of GM is in UAW hands I believe do I hear STRIKE threats?
  20. John Q Public "forgave" GM's debt also but not as blatantly as Fiat Auto Groups deal. Fits with most other Bail outs, Government sponsored start ups (Fiskers to name one) and "Green Energy" loans.
  21. Had a young girl at 65mph with her head and arm out the window brushing or drying her hair!
