Some great pictures Ken! thanks for posting them! I hope to make several more events next year,just a matter of making the time!.......................Mark

Been thinking of doing something similar in my toyroom,take a B-Model rad.shell and put some type shelves in it to display my B-Model collection,never seems to be any time left over at the end of the week anymore!...............................Marek

C-50DT does refer to a Mack built 50 passenger transit bus chassis built from 1950-1954.272" wheelbase,222 HP ENDS-672,four speed manual trans. or optional auto..........................Mark

LOL! me neither!

LOL! prolly be my luck!.................Mark

Local drivers wanted eh? I wonder do I get to pick which one i'll run?....................Mark

Even if she won't polish your tanks,nice to have some help when it comes time to change your oil,or to hand you some tools!............................Mark

Good article! nice to see someones opinion that's not "all the old trucks were terrible" for a change! todays drivers couldn't handle a B-Model (or anything else with two sticks) which is a shame,because the ability to drive two sticks is a lost and dying art! .........................................Mark

My guess too!.....................Mark

Limo's coming along nicely too! ALMOST ready for paint!.........................................Mark

Great article,thanks for posting! I have always been interested in WWII,and its many vehicles,and always wondered about the operation of tanks and their crews,i found this video on the driving of a Sherman M-4 I thought might be of interest. For those un-aware,the Sherman was a highly inferior tank to comparable German units,basicly a deathtrap! under-armored,under-gunned,and fueled with high-octane gasoline. But Mack did make the transmissions for both early M-3 and M-4's musta' been quite a workout to run a tank! I give the WWII tank crew vets all the admiration and respect I have! Truly some of the most un-sung heroes of the war...........................Mark

Paul,i thought that was a super-secret spy photo of Rob! LOL!..............................................................Mark

Doug,thats a GREAT picture! something to be proud of! thanks for posting it!..................................Mark

There's a reason its only 15K,good used heavy spec'd Mack would go for twice that amount,my opinion,prolly used up,wore out,and as previously stated,exporters don't want it it because its an electronic engine,my advise would be to pass on it..................................Mark

I remember that poster! had one hanging in our shop in the late seventies!..........................................Mark

Slow news day,and i don't get to see much TV,but today I have seen at least a dozen different commercials for "accident avoidance" systems,"rear view safety cameras" "self parking assistance/steering" "accident prediction sensors" "lane change managers" etc. so can anyone tell me when common sense and the ability to PAY ATTENTION to your driving went away? Just curious,i remember a time when YOU the DRIVER of your automobile were responsible for both your safety,those riding with you,and other motorists! YOU had to PAY ATTENTION and actually drive the car,not the other way around!are people really this pre-occupied with phones,texting,gps etc. that they now need the SUV to drive itself? a dunno,maybe its just me?.....................Mark

Some neat pictures on their website as well! quite a few R-700's with V-8's kind of a rarity here on the east coast!............................Mark

That's what I was thinking Bob,looks like an old ALLIED tractor,be neat to have an old school single axle moving van to go with it!.......................................Mark

Just shoes and no cookies?.................................Mark

No problem Joe,they're nice nice trucks but a little "pricey" for me LOL!....................................Mark

I saw where Top Shelf Replicas is coming out with some new models (Macks finally!) they have primarily IH products now,and make a neat Highbinder and DC-405 "Westcoaster" here are some pictures of both the Macks and some older editions........................................Mark http://www.diecastdirect.com/asp_modules/add_item.asp?ProductCode=TSR25015

Yeah,wonder whats up with that?........................................................Mark

Only thing I think i'd do different, would be to change over to a 6X4 or 5X4 trans. THEN it truly would be a "man's truck" LOL!............................................Mark
