  1. Always keep my eye out for new (to me anyway) Macks,here are some I've come across so far this year!...................................Mark
  2. Like Ken,i was new to the interweb and came here looking for info on a particular truck,little did I know It would lead to something I truly look forward to checking out! I never knew there were so many people out there with similar backgrounds and interests as mine! Pretty much right from the start I was made to feel welcome at BMT,did'nt get laughed at for my lack of computer savvy (well a little) Personally,i don't belong to any other groups and this is about as close as I'm ever going to get to "social networking" I'm real glad I happened onto BMT,been a few rough patches here and there,but always feel better after a "rant" and consider many people on here to be friends, even if we have not met in person! I learned a good many things I didn't know too!...............I think its cool that the younger guys seem truly interested in what us old coots have to say about trucks and trucking!........................................Mark
  3. I too used to look forward to the exploits of Will & Sonny every Tuesday! My Dad used to laugh at the fact their truck seemed to always be one step from being repossed,Dad would say "If they'd just take a break from solving crimes,fighting,goofing-off,racing etc. and HAUL SOME FRIEGHT! they'd prolly be able to make a payment or two ontime" Lol! different world back then for sure! Prolly not the most realistic show ever made,but there were some nice trucks! and it showed Truckdrivers as "the good guys".........................Mark
  4. I like the First gear trucks,prolly have around 200 of them! but I don't "specialize" in any particular maker,i just "buys what I likes" Lol!..................so many trucks,so little money!........................Mark
  5. larry,I still have my Galoob "Movin On" KW too! mines prolly got 6-700,000 miles on it! Lol!........................................Mark
  6. I do! I got one too! LOL!..........................................Mark
  7. Yeah I do! I would paint it up like the one in this old ad!........................Mark
  8. Took some more pictures the other day when I was putting up my new shelf,these are my Hubley Model-A Fords,which I have had for a LONG time! the roadster pickup I originally built for my Grandfather when I was 8-9 years old pretty crappy job back then,but he loved it! Built the roadster and wagon around the same time,but have since restored all of them................................Mark
  9. Not mine,taken from the interweb,but I thought this was a good picture..................................Mark
  10. I liked the 76" Limited Edition KW's too,thought they were pretty neat when they came out........................................Mark
  11. That's a good looking truck for sure! only thing I'd lose would be that bumper! I agree,looks like it was somebodies "baby" very well taken care of!........................................Mark
  12. I had to think about it,but I was pretty sure IH had a "Spirit Of 76" edition Scout........................................Mark

    WHY?

    I don't watch much TV to begin with,and I TRIED to watch some of the "reality" shows but couldn't take it! pretty much all BS as far as I'm concerned! we have a channel called "Retro" that plays all the old shows like Dragnet,Gunsmoke,Emergency,Hill Street Blues etc. I pretty much watch those or an old movie on AMC or TNT.................I actually met that dipshit that drives the KW on "shipping wars" in person,what a douche! real Hollywood type asshole! Lol!.................................Mark
  14. I'm glad to know that there are still some "real" truckdrivers left in this world! I've often said I hoped someone would help my wife,mom or family when they needed it while travelling,and have always tried to do so myself with no thanks or reward nessesary!................Mark
  15. I hear ya' Mike! I run a pretty steady 70-72 Mph when able to do so,and the same 4-5 trucks will pass me 5-6 times a day! but then I pretty much just keep the right door closed and truck!!!!!!..................................Mark
  16. WOW! that is some nice cabinet! and a fine collection! I think my next toyroom project is going to be a shelf made out of a B-Model Radiator shell like this one,just gotta locate a usable one!...............................................Mark
  17. Yup,i have two of them (H-Models) Associated Transport and Ralston Purina,both in the boxes and have yet to be built! I've had them a good many years now!......................................Mark
  18. That's a ton of work I know! but sure came out nice!.....................................Mark
  19. Some various Matchbox Macks............................Mark
  20. That's a nice job! did you end up working out the damaged fender,or replacing it?............................................Mark
  21. I here the same thing! that's not that big of a room to start with (my toyroom) probly gonna have to "annex" some more of the basement at some point! I just get the ones I like truckwise,I've slowed down a lot myself,but like my wife says,theres worse things I could be doing in my spare time!.....................................Mark
  22. Here are a few more,i think I have already posted my "Wall O' Winross" but another shelf has some various smaller trucks!...............................................Mark
  23. I'm still looking for the wrecker Joe,thats one on my "wish list" .....................................Mark
