Looks to me like someone just glassed in a pair of headlight buckets from another vehicle (1980's Crown victoria/Cadillac Eldorado) going by the parking lights. Not un-common to see a similar swap,but dual headlights were never offered as a factory option on R-models in the American market,only the export markets (Austraila,Europe etc).............................Mark

I agree,the ONLY truck for the job!...........................welcome aboard!...................................Mark

Got to agree with that,only actor i would add is John Wayne,a true American patriot who beliveved in his country,and was quite outspoken in doing so,and was never worried about being "politically correct" of course this is just my opinion...............................Mark

Putting a detroit in ANYTHING is like sleeping with your sister,just wrong!!!!!!.........................................Mark

Nice pictures Tom as usual! that stainless Autocar,and the green White belong to a guy i know from Jersey, Gaspar Sparacio,he is very active in the South Jersey ATHS chapter of which i was a member till we moved down here. A good guy who knows his trucks! i used to see the White allover South Jersey when they were still running it,belonged to a produce outfit in Hammonton,NJ. Gaspar (or Gap as he's known) has been a dispatcher for a small family owned trucking company for about 40 years (Lobiondo Brothers Motor Express) that has run the same equipment long as i can remember,just keep rebuilding it,they still run pete cabovers, the ones that the aircleaner intake goes up through the sleeper! and White "expiditers" all in familiar " Italian colors" red,white and green. Wish i could have made it up there,but did'nt get home till this morning..................................Mark

I was thinking the same thing,amazing detail not only the pushed off grease,but the slide/lock cylinder with coiled air-lines! they have to be tiny! thats one heck of a build right there,i sure will like to see it when done!...............................Mark

Shame of it is,i've had a pretty similar conversation in real life! being on the road i've prolly heard every bullshit bum story known to man!..................................Mark

LOL! glad you said it! i was thinking the same thing!......................................Mark

Nah,not a chance! looks legit to me!................................Mark

I'm right there with you my friend! not a clue!........................Mark

Glad to help! yours looks like the "army materials truck"given the color, it was a flatbed with a load of wooden crates marked PX with a serial number i think? neat truck nontheless!..........................Mark

Wish i had the dough! i'd give this one a good home,always liked the 361 series Brockways,looks like a real nice project for someone!................................Mark

Well my friend,i can tell you they were'nt at my house either!...................................Mark

Personally,i don't like the eldorado seats,my dad had one in his pete,and it was godawful un-comfortable! it does'nt really travel like a bostrom seat,it kinda leans forward i could never get it adjusted to my liking,just my opinion,but i would would go with a Bostrom...............................Mark

I'd prolly buy a dog from this one too,just to see where the "mustard" comes from............................................Mark

You gotta get on the mailing list,the bottles sprout out of the mailbox in 3-4 weeks!................................Mark

I hear-tell even some girls like hotdogs?...............................Mark

MY secret spy camera also shows Randyp must have gotten his new one too,but in his haste to get it up and working,he evidently did'nt read the directions,and heres what he ended up with...........................................Mark

David,here are a few that i have used,i also have an L-model tractor that i am in the process of restoring,just never seem to have the time. Hope this is of some help,because these are definately worth saving!...............................Mark http://smittytoytrucks.com/ http://www.smithmillertoytrucks.com/pdf/v1/smith_miller_parts_list.pdf http://stores.ebay.com/Sandbox-Toys/Smith-Miller-/_i.html?_fsub=2012960

Yup,a nice Smith-Miller L-model Mack,a nice find! and the good thing is almost all the missing pieces are now reproduced,headlights,bulldog hood ornament,and especially the bumper which is almost always broken,even the decals are now available,its a good one for sure!.....................................Mark

Yup, END-673 Thermodyne,neat truck! looks to be in reasonable shape too!.........................................Mark

Was never really all that interested in the "space race" but considered him (and all the astronauts) heroes,and an accomplishment every American should be proud of!..............................Mark
