Always thought they were kind of a neat car,i read an article in Hemmings Muscle Machines about the Alabama State police using them (Javelins) as pursuit cars,even had at least one that was a four speed.......................................Mark

I like popsicles too!..........................Mark

That MH was the first new truck i bought,it was a good truck,E-6 400,13 speed Road-Ranger,the only real problems i ever had with it were cab the mounts,and a bit of a rough ride! up until late 2008,the man i sold it to was still using it to pull containers regionally! says something about the longevity of a Mack truck!..................................................Mark

Effing ridiculous! so we can keep our "little Mack club"? i for one am very proud to be a member here,and would'nt trade the people i've met,stories read,what i've learned for anything!................i say walk a mile in my shoes sonny,then we'll see who's a "wannabe" LOL!.............................Mark

Did you ever see that youtube video of those crazy hatians loading a single axle U-model dumptruck on to a sailboat?..........................................Mark

It only just occured to me that i should prolly include myself in the Jersey Macks thread!...................My 1988 MH when brand new,My 1995 CH right before i sold it,My current truck, 2001 CX ............................................Mark And please note,all three of these trucks were photographed,owned,steered and geared by yours truly! NO HANKS WERE HARMED IN THE POSTING OF THESE PICURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reminds me of an old saying i heard once,"you can't have a battle of wits with an un-armed person"..............................................Mark

I sure wish i could find an "abandoned" Brockway sitting alongside the road like the one in the first picture! i remember that storm well,hit Jersey pretty hard,we actually had the National Guard helping plow in South Jersey with 6X6 army trucks. My dad was on the road in Chicago i believe,talked to him on the phone,he said it was the first time ever he had been "snowed out" of anywhere! as most all the major roads were closed for days....................................Mark

I'm not angry,just pisses me off when something like this happens,as far as i know (which ain't much!) i did'nt do anything wrong,NON-COMMERCIAL use only,i never photoshopped anything out of the pictures (would'nt begin to know how!) and always tried to include the fact that any pictures "borrowed" did come from Hanks,and did so in the spirit of the hobby,which maybe some at Hanks are not aware of! (sharing) some not all,mind you,i'm sure some of the guys over there are just as dumbfounded by this as we are!..............................................Mark

Thank you Barry for responding to this matter in the gentlemanly way you did! i for one certainly appreaciate the effort,especially since it was my post/picture that seems to have caused the problem.............................................Mark Personally,i thought this was about the old truck/Mack hobby,not a pissing contest,my intent of the thread was to show the varied trucks i grew up with in my beloved former home state,maybe educate and promote the hobby at the same time. But evidently that is not how it was percieved. So i take full responsiblity for my own actions,and can assure all the members at "hanks" that NO picture will ever be used,copied,posted,looked at,sold or anything else (at least by me) from this day forward! nor will the site be viewed (by me) or reccomended to anyone by me looking for a specific make/model photo as it has been in the past. I have always tried to include in any post where the picture came from,if not taken by myself, credit where credit is due PERIOD! and just so you know,I HAVE e-mailed several of the members asking for permission to use a certain photo ,and have NEVER recieved a reponse from ANY of them,NOT ONCE! So have no fear,i will not e-mail anyone over there anymore,just keep them! i could understand if we were using the pics to make money,or for some other unsatisfactory use,advertizing etc. but only for personal use? really? i would think the members would be happy the pics are used in such a way, TO PROMOTE THE TRUCK HOBBY! guess i was wrong! i guess we are a different breed over here at BMT,and proud to be!................................Mark (AKA Vision386)

Pop always told me should i end up in jail,not to bother calling him,"you got yer ass in there,you get it out"! so i have managed to stay jail/trouble free for 50 years now!............................................Mark

Thats the way it was at my house! ..........................................Mark

Damn! that Big Oshkosh is pretty plush insde for a "Govmint" truck,i mean the button-tuck sleeper upholstery and all, OOO LA LA! KTA 600 Cummins and an automatic? must have been fun to drive!..........................................Mark

Thats a sharp Superliner ! i just never liked those "corrugated" metal fenders,they always reminded me of the trash cans we had when i was i kid!....................................Mark

Not to worry! later on a friendly dump truck driver was able to get stopped and gave the girls a "push"!............................................Mark

Thats one hell of a truck right there!.....................................Mark

I don't know,i'd have to see the front to be sure!.....................................Mark

Pit crew tuning up the pursuit car?......................................Mark

They did a nice job with that,i seen it in person a few years ago,whoever painted it has some talent!......................................Mark

Damn! thats about a 1/2 cord right there!....................................Mark

Heres another experimental P.I.E cabover......................................Mark

Here are a few from Dan Barclay Inc. Trucking and Rigging Franklin,NJ.......................................................................Mark

Not too much better then a pretty girl sittin' in a Mack truck!..........................................Mark

Being pretty much what i think they call a "techo-phobe" i still use my old school "PNS" (paper navigation system) i go to enough places where one mistake (direction wise) can be a big problem! Mrs. Vision got me one years ago,i have never had the heart to tell her its never been out of the box,just don't trust em!.....................................Mark

You mean bulletproof possums?............................................Mark
