These are real. Made in Nigeria

There are pictures of my stuff on here, pictures of my 10,000 square foot shop with 20 foot clear ceilings too. And I'll say it again, ALL CUSTOM TRUCK BUILDERS ARE HACK JOBS

One of Harry "Gig" Leonhauser's older Autocar Wreckers

I think they are still using it. That is a beefed up 600 or 650 Holmes on the back. They built it all at their shop

Giggy at Penndel had one. He got his off of Warner materials in Fairless Hills

Somebody Yeah for Joe Sr. I was friends with Joe Jr. I think Jr has passed on, or he'd be about 90 now

One of Capecci's twin steers?

Horn & Hardart Automat. BTW that's Audrey Hepburn

Yeah Beautiful truck

Joe Capecci Twin steer mixer. He owned the trucks, and Liberty Concrete owned the barrels. He had lots of Macks too. I used to go over his place and pick through his stock of LJ parts. The others are one of Buckley & Company's Dumps.

That depends on the dump body and type of hoist. None of that is made by Mack

Actually I got my first 15 ish hours in Grumman AA-1A in 71 or 72

That's not a walking beam. It's a Mack Camelback. I forget what that version was called. They came in a lot of flavors over the years. There was a reverse camelback with pins instead of elephant pads. There was a Camelback that used 4 elephant pads and 4 spacer pins. Then there was the typical one that used 8 elephant pads. Lots more variations too, Some longer and shorter trunnions, different arches in the springs etc..

I had a Hurricane Six. It was a good reliable engine My Buddy had the Tornado Six in his. It was faster

Believe me I've seen much worse. I fixed one one time that they used nothing but fender washers. I don't think the truck owner owned the truck more than about a month before the top mount broke the sheet metal and he had to secure it with bungie cords to get home. All truck customizers and chrome shop guys are hacks

I've owned both. And both worked good. To redo the bushings in a Camelback, you need a torque multiplier to tighten the U Bolts. To re-bush a Hendrickson Walking Beam you need about a 50 ton press. I can't say which one is better or easier to work on, and they both perform about the same

"A Piper Cherokee, depending on its specific model and category, can typically withstand a maximum G-force of +3.8 G in normal category operations, while some models in the utility category may be certified for up to +4.4 G; meaning that is the maximum load factor it can handle before structural damage could occur" I learned to fly in a Cherokee. I took my check ride in one to get my license. If I was to compare it to a car it's the 72 Chevy nova of the airplane world. I flew with an instructor that was a bomber pilot in Vietnam, he showed me what a 3 G maneuver feels like. I thought my spine was going to blow out. Imagine suddenly being 3 times your weight because that is exactly what it is. Now think of a military aircraft that is capable of many more G forces, not to mention negative G forces. Is that something you want to expose an unborn baby to? These people are insane.

Yeah military stuff. The COW towers belonged to Omnipoint communications. It was back in the 90's and when they moved into a new market they set the COWs up until they could build a permanent tower. I believe these were 120 feet tall ones and all folded up for transport they were 40ish feet long. Diesel gen set up on the nose something like 100KW, and a bunch of electronics enclosures. Tool boxes full of big screw in anchors for the guy wires, outriggers on the trailer, air brakes, really a nice setup. Pretty much just standard trailer lighting, they had just changed all the bulbs to 12 volt, but the lights were kinda dim especially on the back of them. Maybe the wire was even lighter. It's been probably close to 30 years ago. They called me after some clown tried moving one with an F600 juice brake truck and jackknifed down in Delaware
