I was glad to discover that these also come in Large sizes,do they come with a "tire patch" kit in case of over-use,or going flat? radial or tube-type? where is the valve stem? recommended PSI? can they be "capped" in case of premature failure?....Mark

Thats a good one! found another picture...........................Mark

I like the part in Sgt.York when they have the turkey shoot for the "beef critter" LOL!...................Mark

Thats a classic! ever see "The Train",with Burt Lancaster? where he's an engineer trying to sabotage a train loaded with with art/treasure stolen by the nazi's.....also a classic!................Mark

Those are all good ones! i finally got PATTON on dvd for fathers day! prolly seen that movie 50 times!..i tell you another good one if you can find it cheap,is "band of brothers" kick-ass good movie!.......Mark

Mike,i know thats right! my dad and i would sometimes "hang out" at my uncles gas station,at the time he had a REALLY nice 1970 Chevelle,SS-396,muncie 4-speed,he also had a 1972 Chevy 3/4 ton wrecker,with a "warmed up" 402 big-block in it,pretty neat lookin truck! was dark met.blue,with "stacks" (side-pipes turned up vertically) i made a few "beer runs" in it,was quite a thrill for a 16 year old kid! LOL!............Mark

Nope! have at it! how you makin out? road treatin you ok these days?..............Mark

When i was growing up in Jersey,we had quite an assortment of gas stations,my uncle ran an ESSO for 25-30 years even after the change to EXXON. My dad had several high-performance cars,and he always swore by SUNOCO 260 octane high-test gas,we used both AMOCO and CHEVRON products on the farm with good results.But,the "cream of the crop" among east coast service stations had to be HESS! even up into the 90's,the attendants wore white uniforms,checked oil/water/tire pressure,and of course cleaned windows front and rear! my mom always liked that!these were FULL SERVICE stations,unlike today,as many of you may not know,there are NO self service gas stations in New Jersey,its still one of the few where its illeagal to pump your own gas!.........Mark

This is a re-creation of Gen.George S. Pattons (one of my heroes) famous speech,its a little on the long side,but well worth a few minutes of your time (in my opinion)...................Mark

Mack trucks inc. was originally known as The International Motor Co. the early emblem reflects this,its in the shape of an "I" and an "M" i would imagine this is what you're seeing....hope this is of some help!.............Mark

I wondered about that myself,there were an awful lot of AMOCO stations here on the east coast,but i really can't remember when i started seeing the change-over,had to be late sixties,early seventies,we had fuel delivered to the farm,and the truck was still marked "Standard Oil" when i was in high-school (late 70's early 80's) distributor truck was a "REO" 10 wheeler with a V-6 detroit as i remember............Mark

Mike,that could be entirely true! i dont see why not,that picture blows up pretty big when you click on it..............Mark

Hey Trent,maybe you can get Otherdog to play around with the picture,put an RS grille surround on it for ya!.................Mark

Found a neat picture of an old truckstop in Fayetteville,NC taken in 1962,B-model would be pretty close to new! looks like quite the place for its time. I never heard of it,or ever heard my Dad make mention of it,and i don't think there was a truckstop in the country he had'nt been to!..........Mark

Makes ya think twice about your milk!!! LOL!..................Mark

Looks like a good time was had by all! i'm coming up next year for sure! rough lookin group right there! LOL!...................Mark

Thats a neat way to put it Ernie! band just wont be the same without his sax,all this talk about the shore makes us homesick LOL! we sure miss being able to head down the shore on a fri./sat.night!....closest thing i met to a "celebrity" was Big Joe Henry from NJ 101.5 up at jenkinsons in Point Pleasant couple years ago,real nice guy!.............Mark

Truck looks great! just what a B-model should look like in my opinion!.................Mark

Great pictures! thanks for posting them! nice to see so many members of this board represented!.................Mark

R.I.P Big man! you will be missed!.....................Mark

Just wondered if anyone had ever seen this wrecker, or knew anything about it,don't have any info on it,but its a good looking truck! The Virginian truckstop was just off I-81 in north cenral Virginia (Toms Brook) but is long since gone,replaced with a "Loves"..................Mark

Now that sounds like good sage advise to me,ALWAYS LISTEN TO A TRUCK DRIVER! we know what we're talking about,been there,done that,PERIOD!!!! besides,you dont need shoes,pants or a shirt to drive a truck!...................Mark

There was an old truckin movie back in the 70's had a good lookin White western star in it,cant remember the name of it,but Mr.Barbara streisand was the truck driver in it...........Mark

Ernie,thats great to hear!nice to hear some GOOD NEWS once in a while! America pretty much taught the world how to do EVERYTHING! so it's about time we got back on track,started putting Americans (in America) back to work!.............Mark

Great pictures! thanks for posting them! i'd sure like to get my hands on that load of B-integral sleeper cabs!..................Mark
