Thanks Ernie! lot of memories myself! my Dad ran dry freight out of Jersey or Philly south,then produce or fresh flowers back out of Florida for both Greenstein and Armellini Express he used to go to the stock car races with Jerome "Toots" Armellini when they was young. He did a lot of the multiple stop LTL routes coming north,as they mostly paid better then truckload. He did get burnt by a few shyster brokers,which is what made him change over to household goods in the seventies.He told me back in the day he hauled a many a load on a handshake! And most guys were as good as their word about paying the bill.I guess them days are long gone now!.................................................Mark

Joe,i never heard a bad word about Shendel Greenstein (former owners daughter),my Dad did a lot of trip-lease work for them in the sixties,and had a good many friends leased on with them. that's also the first C-Model I ever saw with a sleeper.............................Mark

Nice one Mike! are those trucks as well maintained as they appear to be? guy sure looks like he takes damn good care of them,especially for their age!......................................Mark

Found this on the interweb,and thought it was worth posting,pretty rare to see a C-Model sleeper! (sorry it's a pretty crappy picture).....................................Mark

I like it! looks like a shop made hoist Matt? Highpoint Garage in Jersey had a similar set-up on their B-Model....................................Mark

That's a shame,have'nt been up that way in quite a while myself,always wanted to stop in and maybe look around,just never seemed to have the time,place looked like it had some history!........................................Mark

Any of you guys ever see this Brockway wrecker? it sits at Red & Arts Garage across from the T/A truckstop off 84 in Willington,CT. never been able to get a picture or a good look up close,as it's always inside the building.........................................Mark

When I was leased to Atlas Van Lines,our local agent was right across the street from Cresci,they had dump bodies stacked up three high sometimes! there is now a company that builds dumpsters in the old Northwest Boulevard location.................................Mark

I wonder why these modifications are nessessary? looks odd to me............................................Mark

WOW! those look to be in damn nice shape,especially after "wintering" in Wyoming!.........................................Mark

That's a nice find! personally,i always liked the Superliner 1,round headlights just appeal to me I guess! I agree with Superdog,V-8 AND two sticks? don't get much better then that!..............................Mark

Welcome aboard!...................................Mark

My guess is modified,foregn plate? and the trained eye sees a LOT of Bondo in those fenders!.................................................Mark

Clark Transfer Inc. # 011652 on it's maiden tour from the sign shop,i delivered it to the tour venue in Tampa,FL,the reflection of my trailer is visible in the nose of the "Wicked" trailer....................................Mark

Here's one a little more obscure!..............................Mark

My personal favorite movie Mack,the "Phantom" from Overdrive magazine's "Moonfire"....................................Mark

International was also toying with the floating garbage truck idea?...............................................Mark

U-773 was only produced between 1976/1977 total of 401 trucks built,source: Mack Trucks Inc......................................................Mark

That's a sharp truck! I've often wondered why it's so common to see a restored L-Cabbed B-Model on a Pete chassis?........................................Mark

Big ass truck! looks to be a Luberfiner mounted on the fender?....................................Mark

To tell the truth,i haven't followed NASCAR in a good many years,i got tired of hearing about the "young guns" all the rule changes,the drama with the newer drivers etc. I was a big fan of Davey Allison,then Mark Martin. I still enjoy real dirt-track racing,i spent many a summer at Bridgeport,NJ Pleasantville,Nj Wall Stadium,NJ East Windsor,NJ Middletown,NY with my cousin who is now 76 years old,and STILL racing a 358 modified! Got a good friend in Jersey Matt Harrell who I used to drive for his Dad's trucking company,that is doing pretty well at Bridgeport too! Alltime favorite dirt-track guy had to be Stan Ploski from Ringoes,NJ drove my favorite car the #74 "Bulldog Expess" sponsored by Trenton Mack (note the half dogs on the quarter panel) ........................................Mark

Nice Al! I spent many childhood summers riding with my Dad,and once we layed over in Boulder,CO (he did a lot of work for the local NAVL agent Cities Storage) I don't recall seeing many C.O.E's pulling Coors trailers,but I remember seeing a lot of conventional White-Freightliner daycabs with REALLY long wheelbases! the early ones with the "Peterbilt-like" headlight mounts. Some of the first truly western spec. trucks I ever saw in person,it was odd to me,because they were still pulling mostly 40' and 45' Hobbs reefers,some were still even "bellymounts"! we even went as far as taking the tour of the brewery,when done,Dad got a sample of "the good stuff" I was treated to a sample of "Rocky Mountain Spring Water"! early seventies I'm guessing,as Coors was still not for sale east of the Mississippi river..............................Mark

Do any of you guys remember a restored metallic brown B-Model integral sleeper that was at Englishtown occasionally? I think it was from NYC maybe L.I. it had a mural of itself painted on the back of the sleeper? I only saw it once or twice and never again,i always regretted I never got a picture of it.................................Mark

Jim,you know it's funny,we've been down here almost 8 years,and have never been to a race! When we still lived in Jersey we would usually go to Dover,Pocono,sometimes Richmond,but never been to one here,and the track is literally 5 miles from my front door!.........................Mark

If I am home,i usually try to take Vision jr. to the track to watch the trucks come in (no Macks un-fortunately) but this year i.m guessing there are going to be a lot of pissed off race fans here! As of about 8:00 it's been snowing like a bandit here! and it's cold ,windy.The truck race got moved/postponed up to today,so it's supposed to be a rare "double-header" race today,both trucks and the cup cars.........................................Mark
