Always keep my eye out for new (to me anyway) Macks,here are some I've come across so far this year!...................................Mark

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

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

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

larry,I still have my Galoob "Movin On" KW too! mines prolly got 6-700,000 miles on it! Lol!........................................Mark

I do! I got one too! LOL!..........................................Mark

Yeah I do! I would paint it up like the one in this old ad!........................Mark

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

Not mine,taken from the interweb,but I thought this was a good picture..................................Mark

I liked the 76" Limited Edition KW's too,thought they were pretty neat when they came out........................................Mark

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

I had to think about it,but I was pretty sure IH had a "Spirit Of 76" edition Scout........................................Mark

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

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

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

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

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

That's a ton of work I know! but sure came out nice!.....................................Mark

Some various Matchbox Macks............................Mark

That's a nice job! did you end up working out the damaged fender,or replacing it?............................................Mark

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

Here are a few more,i think I have already posted my "Wall O' Winross" but another shelf has some various smaller trucks!...............................................Mark

I'm still looking for the wrecker Joe,thats one on my "wish list" .....................................Mark

Company near here has a DMM with a hydro-seeder body on it,but it sits in a shed and I can't get a good picture of it,never seen it outside!..........................Mark

Thanks Tim! that is one of my favorites!.............................Mark
