Check out Millers website,i have one of their small multi-process MIG/TIG setups and am nothing but happy with it,it serves its purpose well for what I do with it......................................................Mark http://www.millerwelds.com/

Musta' started at R-Place in Morris? still one of my favorite places to eat out that way,even with T/A buying them out! always had a good meal there! usually some cute waitresses too!........................................Mark

Ken,close, it was an old Owner-Operator magazine cover....................................Mark

Tom,that GMC Crackerbox is a Dehanes model,pretty pricey! I have a couple of their Macks................................................Mark http://www.toytruckcity.com/dehmodtruc.html

Damn Ray! sorry to hear about the troubles! hope you get everything squared away! what do think,from the sounds maybe a rod failed? I know how you feel though,my truck is way over a million miles now,so i'm on borrowed time!......................Mark

Geez! a rough night! been lucky lately (although a few close calls) last deer i blasted was with my MH,truck in front of me hit it first,threw it out in front of me,i couldn't move over to avoid it because another truck was passing me,THEN truck number 3 hit what was left! it was a hell of a mess! somewhere around $3800.00 damage to my truck alone! This damn thing prolly weighed in the 200 pound range! I was still finding pieces MONTHS later!..........................Mark

Wish I could have made it down but i didn't get home till about 10 o'clock last night. Some trucks I hadn't seen before too! I gotta vote for butt "B"! I like the boots women are wearing these days!............................................Mark

I had a few from NYC saved as well!...................Mark

Truck looks great! first R-685 we had did not have steer axle brakes it was a 72'.........................................................Mark

LOL! sorry guys,should have put ANTICIPATION of the blizzard!...............................................Mark

Here's a couple from the blizzard in Jersey a couple years ago that I had found and saved...............................................Mark

How bout' this one Ken?......................Mark

Geez Ernie! what next? schools down here said MANDATORY Spanish next year for my boy! Not on my dime (taxpayer) says me! so he wont be taking it,but will have to take extra classes to make up the difference in grades! Mrs. Vision and myself TOLD the PTO NO ONE im my family is or speaks Spanish so theres no need for him to learn a second language,when they are barely teaching ENGLISH anymore! I can understand your frustration my friend!..................................Mark

Best wishes for a Happy Birthday Chuck! you oughta drop by once in a while!.............................Mark

A nice piece indeed,but a little pricey for me! wonder whats up with the twice pipes? hopefully not a mini road-oiler under the hood!..................................................Mark

Cause' if you DON'T put out your pumpkin,how are the trick or treaters supposed to know where to go?...........................Mark

Happy Halloween! don't forget to put out your pumpkin!..................................................Mark

No personal interest in a Cruiseliner,but I have spent some time in Bardstown,Ky neat little town! we stayed there two times when we went to the MATS in Louisville. Jim Beam whiskey is made there,and we went on a "dinner ride" on a classic train (from the fifties I think) nice scenery,and some very nice people around there!..................................Mark

Very nice collection! I am still working on some shelves to display all my First Gear Trucks,maybe someday i'll get it done!....................Mark

Sometimes a single stop works out,an' ain't all that bad?........................Mark

I really like the B-Model grill case! I have thought of doing the same thing myself,any chance of getting some more detailed pictures posted so I can see what you did with it? I would appreacieate it!................................Mark

Just remember,when hauling ass,you want multiple stops LTL,NOT TRUCKLOAD!..........................Mark

My guess is the people that own these old trucks have no attachment to them as say,we do,it's just junk! I knew of a guy in Jersey that scrapped 3 Brockway 361's (one in running-driving shape) because no one would pay 20K for the 3 of them. Ended up torching all three,loaded them in a dump trailer,hauled them away.......after crossing the scale he cleared a whopping $1200.00! when he had a standing offer of 5K for the best one! I don't understand peoples thinking most of the time where old trucks are concerned,they turn down a fair price because they think they're sitting on a gold mine,or they sit long enough that their no good to anyone? go figger!............................................Mark

LOL! as did my Buddy L "fix a flat" wrecker!...................Mark

Those are some nice Corgi's! I like them too! still got these two on my "wish list"............................Mark
