I couldn't get the link to work (surprise) but there is some nut listing an "EXTREMELY RARE" Mack ashtray on the local Craigslist for $300.00 FIRM!.....................................Mark

This one?................I was told when the property that the station was on was sold to make room for a bar/restaurant (which is there now) the truck sat for years in dis-repair before being sold and going under the torch!.................Mark

DURR! I just noticed the kids sitting on the fender in the second picture,thats a big ass truck! LOL! thanks for posting!...........................Mark

I always enjoy seeing pictures of "old school" lettering and pinstripes on trucks i ,like the gold leaf,hand painted stuff ! a lost and dying art now days! all done on a computer with vinyl cutouts................................Mark

I also remember the LP transport trucks,used to see them a lot on 81-90 and 390 when I ran that area of New York,i liked their color scheme. Do any of you upstate NY guys know of or remember a carrier J.Tournabene (I think) or something close to that,? I believe they were out of Canastota,NY at the time (early 80's) they ran white R-Model sleepers with a red stripe,they pulled reefers pulled a lot of potatoes out of the area to South Jersey and reloaded with produce out of Vineland,NJ I used to run with them on my nightly trip to Binghampton,they usually stopped at the Penn-Can truckstop in Harford,PA. Trucks were nothing fancy,but always clean and looked well maintained...................................Mark

One for the Vinster!

I agree! looks like a brand new truck! quality work like this ensures repeat customers and references which leads to (so I'm told anyways) BIG BUCKS! nice job!....................................Mark

Hubcaps Baby! Lol!.....................................Mark

Trans-Isle and Aurora also from Englishtown 1980's...............................Mark

I agree with Superdog,cab don't look all that bad,but if it got wrapped up as hard as it looks like, maybe some frame damage? shame really,could be a neat old truck!..................................Mark

I'd be glad to put-up the ex navy Brockway at my house Ernie,if you need room for another truck Lol!.....................................................Mark

Have'nt found too many lately (work may have something to do with that) but here are some I thought were of interest! the B-Model tractor was brand new (1964) and I thought the B-Model dump looked like Mary Hitchings colors? found the last 2 B&W pictures on a Micro-brewery site (thank your beer truck driver when you see him!)...................................Mark

Nice! looks like the girl on the left is equipped with her own flotation device(s)! maybe she can help the other poor girl (much less equipped) if she starts to drown? Lol!....................................Mark

I been a "Mack Man" pretty much all my life,but way back when,this was a pretty strong argument in favor of Kenworth (for me at least Lol!)........................................Mark

My Dad was always good about that too Al,whenever we were at or near a truck dealer,he knew "i'll just be a minute"! Horner Mack, (my local dealer in Jersey) the salesmen all knew my family and i,they'd save me one of each of the new brochures,calenders,hats etc. always answered my questions (no matter how dumb!),let me check out all the new trucks! I guess it worked,as I bought 3 out of 4 of my trucks from them!.................................Mark

Not my "taste" but to each his own I guess!.......................Mark

Indeed there was! Ex-Military chassis,passed by it mant times over the years,i'm looking but pretty sure I have a picture of it somewhere..................................Mark

Figuered I'd split the difference on this on this one! (Jersey plate,Staten Island on the door) just too nice a truck and picture NOT to post!.............................................Mark

I hit up those truck brochure racks as a kid too Al ! according to ebay,I should be able to open the Zenon C.R,Hansen Memorial Library (in my basement) anyday now!..................................Mark

JT,there is a guy here locally that still uses a General daily pulling a logging trailer,will see if I can get a picture next time I see it.................................Mark

Mike,my Grandad was the same way! when we bought the F-Model (300 - 10 speed) he said "what'ya' need all them damn gears for"? Pop LOVED the 237-5 speed! LOL!..........................Mark

Sorry to hear about Spot! I hope the new lad will uphold his long standing tradition for adventure and hi-jinks here on BMT!................big shoes (or paws) to fill!......................................Mark

Thought this was appropriate,given the state of affairs in our country!.......................................Mark

One of the CLEANEST real working trucks I ever saw!.............................Mark

I'm sure someone on here knows the answer,but being as I'm not all that familiar with N-Models,does anyone know if Mack offered the N-Model in a sleeper version,like the C and H-series Fords? I don't recall ever seeing one,just curious.......................Mark
