That's a sharp looking truck,rare to see one with a sleeper!................................Mark

Does my heart some good to see a "real" truck still working!....................................................Mark

Yup, the H-1000 series is more commonly known as a "two story falcon" shared the Budd cab with its little brother the C-series.These things were the "shit" in the moving and storage industry back in the sixties,seems like damn near every other bedbugger out there had one! Heres a nice example from out Superdogs way....................Mark

Thanks Ken! learn something new everyday!...........................Mark

Rob and BULLHUSK will prolly vouch for me when I tell you there prolly wasn't a garbage truck anywhere in North Jersey/NYC "back in the day" that DID'NT have wheelcovers on it! LOL!.........personally,i'm glad that's a fad that went away!...........................Mark

Ken,i meant to ask you earlier when you started this thread,are these tractors associated with the same WHITE that built the trucks? just curious....................................Mark

The Matchbox dump is based on a 1963 B-Series GMC,and I agree,they look a lot like an N-Series Ford....................Mark

Some nice ones Rob! I have the later Scammel gold wrecker with superfast wheels and the yellow pipe carrying tractor trailer. I'll have to take some pictures when I get home,my "pride of the fleet" Corgi would have to be my A-N-D Service B-Model wrecker,i have the Starbuck LJ Christmas truck too (don't like starbucks coffee,but I like the truck!)...............Mark

Matchbox made the GMC/Fruehauf bottom dump doubles also.............................................Mark

Split grille and aluminum bumper are almost worth the price of admission! my kind of truck right there! just needs a REAL engine,and a pair of sticks! wish it was closer,but as expected with the long wheelbase,i figured it was out west somewhere!.............Mark

No pretty much the same here (law-wise) I was sitting outside a Mickey D's when I saw it,i do "fudge" one every once in a while when I see something interesting! LOL!..................Mark

Here's one I found,looks fresh out of the truck wash,but other than that I can see no reason for its existence LOL!..................Mark

Looks like all you need is a kingpin lock,and its home sweet home?................................Mark

Welcome aboard from from yet another (former) Jersey guy! damn nice looking DM!.............................Mark

I know what you mean! i'm "annexing" the basement little by little!................................................Mark

Gotta tinker with this phone,cause I also saw a DM-600 with a hydroseeder on it,along with a Superliner II with a roll-off,i'll try and post them at some point! LOL!..................Mark

LOL! My Dad had a friend with an OLD cabover White Freightliner leased to RDS trucking in Vineland N.J. for years,we were visiting his shop once,and he must have had 25-30 4X4 trans.laying around! along with some married boxes,2 or 3 6X4's too if I had only knew back then! LOL!...............................Mark

Hope this works,still not good or comfortable with all this technology,but I saw a nice little single axle R-Model dump today,snapped a picture with my phone,could'nt figure out any way to "biggenize" it,so I hope you can see it ok! real nice looking truck from what I could see!....................................Mark

Welcome aboard ! from a former fellow Jersean,nice DM ! looks great!...................................Mark

A model (unfinished) of my CX,along with an amateur attempt at drawing an H-Model................Mark

Me too! (mixed bag that is) I really don't "specialize" in any particular model or maker,just get the ones I like,i have Tonkas,First Gear,Winross,Corgi's,and many others as well. I think I like the "nostalgia" factor the most with my Winross trucks,one of the first I ever got was a 9000 White from the Howard Johnsons restaurant at the south end of the Turnpike when I was a kid,still have it now,and its one of my favorites! a lot of my trucks didn't survive childhood either! but I have been trying to replace some of the ones I had (along with some I wanted)pretty much all my life!i guess its a sickness like anything else LOL! but like Mrs.Vision says "theres gonna be one HELL of a sale when I kick the bucket!!"....................Mark

I like it! LOL!.......................Mark

I'll take some better pictures when I get home,but heres a few of my Winross trucks I also have a Dehanes Brockway 260,the same as the one pictured..................................Mark

Glad to hear from you my friend! also glad to hear you're getting back up to speed and feeling better!.......................................Mark

Rob,i have the same print of the R-Model,also got it at E-Town many years ago,wish I had picked up the rest!......................Mark
