Never met or knew the man,but I spent several hours one night looking at his photos,a real good cross section of makes models and other things of interest,always sorry to learn of the un-timely passing of another "truck-nut"..................................Mark

Mack Trucks - The Difference Behind the Name
vision386 replied to kscarbel2's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Diggin' that R-Model! anyone notice its pulling a Matlack tanker? they were a BIG user of Macks,they had a satellite terminal near me in Swedesboro,NJ right off Route 322,there is a Kenworth dealership there now.................................Mark -
While we're talking marker lights,a brand-x truck(peterbilt) backed in next to me this morning, one of those goobered up shitwagons with the giant visor covering 3/4 of the windshield.I went in to get my paperwork,and noticed it had NO marker lights on the roof whatsoever! Am I missing something? I thought maker lights were still D.O.T required? they weren't built into the visor either as I have seen some like that. I asked the driver (typical newbie dipshit) about it,his answer was "F**K the D.O.T,it's my truck,i'll do whatever I want to it".........................................Mark

Answered my question Al,i was wondering if they still made them? used to be a dime a dozen,but rarely see them these days........................................Mark

Not my picture,but here's a neat one of the Bendix Diner Route 17 Hasbrouck Heights,NJ.............been in there many times,not as good as it used to be!...................................Mark

Rob,i haven't gotten it yet but I just ordered my first DCP truck, I don't have many brand-x trucks,but I liked the "Jersey Connection" with this one! I just hope its as nice as it looks!.......................................Mark

Jake,nice picture thanks for posting! I'm always interested in seeing anything Jersey as I was born and raised there! JoeD gets the cigar for guessing the location,the Jersey Truck Center was the original name and location of what later became the Jersey City Truckstop AKA Rubes,routes 1&9 Jersey City,NJ.....................................Mark

Another place that was popular with truckdrivers was the Olympia Diner on U.S.Route 40 in Penns Grove,NJ (long gone) originally,Ken (Farmer52) posted this picture of the postcard,along with some other nostalgic pictures and I explained this diner was literally 5 miles from my house,and we ate there pretty often. I did some research and found out the whole diner lock,stock and barrel has been moved to Baltimore,MD and is enjoying a new crowd of people in an original "Jersey Diner"..............................Mark

Funny you guys should mention HOJO's ! I found a picture of the last surviving Howard Johnsons Snack Bar (closed now) near exit 2 on the NJTPK,they had the BEST Hotdogs! As a kid, whenever we travelled the Turnpike,we always ate at HOJO's a real treat back then!. I can still remember the "tender sweet" fried clam strips! and 28 flavors of ice cream,one of my oldest surviving toy trucks came from HOJO's at the south end of the Turnpike (Carney's Point,NJ),my Mom seems to remember It cost about $1.49!.........................................Mark

NOS MB Cab
vision386 replied to Superdog's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
When I worked for A-P-A they had a brand new groomed MB cab in the Aramingo ave. (Philly) shop,i don't know what happened to it. MB's were damn good trucks,kinda understated in my opinion. As BULLHUSK said there was THOUSANDS of them all over NJ/NY/Philly makes you wonder where they all went,i mean you don't even see one in a salvage yard anymore!.......................Mark -
DD,of all the times I've seen your avatar,i always thought it was a G-Model Mack,just realized it's the experimental Brockway C.O.E!..............Duh!...................................Mark
-
Yup,just curious to see,doe'snt look like they came with vertical exaust either? (no brackets etc.) pretty unusual to see an F-Model with a weedburner!............................Mark
-
Went back and looked at these F's a little more,did anybody else notice what's missing?..............................Mark

Coming from the diner capitol of the world (Jersey),been in my fair share throughout the country but one that was nearby to me, spent most of my time when I was younger was the Deepwater Diner,a good place to "spot trucks" and later on they employed a waitress that was truly "blessed"! Lol!.......................The old place is gone,but they built a new one around it!...........Mark
-
I seen that! I like the old one better!...................................Mark

My Grandfathers 361 (in the middle) when it was still owned by Puritan Oil Bellmawr,NJ Pop traded it in on a used F-Model................................Mark
