  1. The C in C had three requests to allow A) a recovery, an attempt to relink control and fly it out and C) destroy it and refused. According to the White House press release, it was because he did not want to commit an "act of war" Better a gift to our undocumented enemies I guess? AS for the Japs, thank Douglas MacArthur for the post war treatment of them. Minimal War crime trials, kept the Emperor, kept their Flag and we rebuilt their factories. Paul
  2. BWD is the engine control division of Standard Motor Products, been around since the dawn of autos.Made right near the original Mack Plant in Long Island City.Paul
  3. Just venting off my "political correctness" before I pop.
  4. I'm pretty sure it was added to that spot along the way. I wouldn't bet, but I think the 335 h.p. Cummins is a later installation. Paul
  5. Sweet. It'll end up the first stringer. Nothing like a Superliner, wish I could find one. Paul
  6. Did you look at the spider for cracks or flex marks where it bolts to drum? Had a cracked spider on a trailer and it sort of acted the same. Paul
  7. Beautiful truck and great history, too bad it couldn't end up in the Mack museum. Paul

  10. And before leaving today for a 17 day vacation in Hawaii, the annoucment was made the we will bail out the European banks and raise the Federal fuel tax 12.7 %.
  11. Would have worked if they prepared the tank for it. Paul
  12. Looks great from all angles!! Paul
  13. Got my tanks and brackets today, delievery by UPS no less! The have a 175 lb limit on items. Took a pic of the UPS guy with the first tank on the hand truck with the UPS label on the bare tank. Can't figure how to up load the from my new phone til my grand son gets here. It's got a "Touch Scream". I touch the screen and and scream couse my fingers are to big. Paul
  14. Tommorow is the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Here is some Pearl Harbor vets talking of memories. At about 3 1/2 minutes you'll see the capsized Oklahoma. My uncle died there.He was China Navy and was on the Pennay in 1937 when the Japanese attacked it. Transfered to the Okie because it would be safer. Wish I could be there at the new Oklahoma Memorial for it.

    "Friends":

    I seem to be missing a few, But I was raised that friends are friends because of how you are and how you treat them ,not because of views or opinions. I value all I have. What is interesting is I, recieved 2 negative reps from "members" with no posts. One for asking what color a R model was and one for some other equally piddly thing. Paul
  16. View PostRob, on 02 December 2011 - 10:22 PM, said: Think I sinned three times before my feet hit the floor this morning. Rob You're gonna go blind Told my son that when he was little, he told me he'd stop when he needed glasses. Paul
  17. I've seen that before! PACCAR makes a truck cover that looks like a Mack, so people don't see the Paccar being towed. Kind of like Ferrari transporting their dead cars in an enclosed trailer. Stealth my friends, stealth. Paul
  18. Happy anniversary to you and yours!~ You are catching up to me and Gail, only a year to go. Paul
  19. HO Penn Caterpillar, where my gran son works part time has one to haul their low boy for pick up and delieveries. Looks o.k. sounds o.k. but watching the driver go up the road with an automatic just ain't natural, probably a good tranny but I don't like automatic anything. Paul
  20. Got to remember that when I get to my mixer. Paul
  21. Great photos, wish I had pics of my families and my stuff. Paul
  22. Opened up my Over Drive mag today, came sealed in plastic with an additional thing. Turns out it was a 2012 FrEiGhTLiNeR calender. Almost put it up in my yard office. Figured nobody would know, whats the harm? It's only a calender....I can take it down any time I want, and walk away.....I'm not addicted to Freightliners...I can quit! Tossed out and put up my Gaberalli Mack calender. I felt so dirty....Paul
  23. Cheaper to just eliminate the back of the fender in the forming process than make different tooling, I'd figure. Paul
