  1. Sounds like a keeper. Again, very nice work!
  2. You must be talking about next to the feed mill in New Alex! See them everytime I pass by on 22. Always wondered what was in the garage.
  3. My next non-Mack truck will have a purrin kitty cat 3406 in it (but dream of a 3408). Spent 10 years of my life playing working with them in Mossville, IL. BTW, this is post 1000 for me. Look out guys I am on a roll!
  4. Good luck! I don't do Facebook or other "social" media. Sorry!
  5. I vote for a flat tax! And you are right about the "rich". I read an article that states what you said. They will cut jobs, raise prices, etc. to keep their "income" the same. The loser in this deal is the middle person. Bend over and say thank you.
  6. Wow, I would HAVE TIME to pick her up. Maybe a game or two of motorboating. The guy in the car looks pissed that he is going the wrong way.
  7. I thought OD was pulling out from an alley and used his superduper telephoto lens. Maybe he was mistaken which town he was traveling thru. OD makes the rounds and seems to see "interesting" sites everywhere he goes.
  8. Nice looking trailer. Good job!
  9. I believe the air compressor was mounted on the rear of a Detroit.
  10. Nice looking Transtar. Too bad he didn't romp on the throttle. Did you view the 1974 w/8v71 video? Shifting w/o clutch. Sweet!
  11. Thanks! It looks like a Cummins. I do not know what year is the truck. If it was a Detroit engine it would be a V engine (6V or 8V). Did International offer the Series 60 in a Transtar?
  12. I can't view the link
  13. Nice B! They must have kept it a secret because I never heard nor saw it (and I live between Larry and Massillon). I don't remember seeing it at any local car/truck shows.
  14. My IL friend is close to Glasford and I owe him a visit. If I can't find anyone at a reasonable price, I will get it myself. Maybe I could put a hitch on my car and tow it back to PA. It might fit in the trunk of my 98 Grand Prix (once it is in pieces). Or if SD has a Mack show in IA I could strap it on the back of my MH.
  15. Dang, another Ohioan. Where from? Truck looks nice. Is the engine a 4V?
  16. Not sure about NES&L's money situation. I hear rumors but no facts. My brother-out-law works in the HQ office and he is tight lipped about business. Their bone yard is behind the Roaring Spring quarry. My farm is 1 mile from it and their overburden pile (Mount NESL) is at the back border of the farm. Sometimes when they blast it shakes the house and out buildings. I keep hoping I will win the NES&L lottery (buy the farm). One of these days when I get motivated (before the snow flies) I will venture there and take some pics. I imagine there are some Macks there. I remember when all the cement mixers were B models.
  17. Vision and FWD would likely whip our butts in "motorboating"!
  18. Hi Larry, Yes I know Rob lives close but he is "out of touch". Also, my friend lives just north of Peoria (about 1/2 hour NE of Glasford) and, when he gets time, is going to stop by and get it to this place. At least it would be in "friendly" confines. I was hoping to pay less than $100. If I pay more, then the bargain becomes a "loss".
  19. Still looking for someone who might be in the area. I posted this on a few other forums. I received one reply - $450 (special trip from IL to PA). Needless to say I turned him down. Shoot, if I don't have it by spring I will get it myself. Planning a trip to IL, ID, UT, and OK to see friends. Just was not planning to take the pickup (15mpg).
  20. Sorry she could not make the show. Home visit nurse? One just got shot in the head in Clearfield County just the other day. The nurse and an "old" lady got into an argument about medication. No one is safe anymore! http://beta.local.ya...ityname=Altoona
  21. Maybe Rowdy could use one to counterbalance his new front bumper!
  22. And during the daytime hours on Friday. No school = Pearl Harbor Day or just skipping?
  23. I'm with you Tom! Allentown is about as close as I want to get to NYC.
