I understand there is a new section in the TK employee handbook on how to deal with BMT men because of what happened last year...

Great looking truck! One Mack source book indicates 762 units were produced in 1937-38. 30,000 EH models were produced and only 50 ETX's were built so an EJ is relatively uncommon

Very interesting....more bouncin'!

Yuummmmmy! Bouncin' and misbehavin'. Sooo nice!

Agreed! Someone wants 10K for something one minute but than are happy with scrap prices the next???? Just blows my mind! Just not rational thinking.

Good Pics! Pretty sure you will have traction on the drives.

I don't like the symbolism of having a Volvo/Autocar tractor involved in the dispersal. Not a good omen.

That's it exactly.

I don't get it either. Why have a high price and no sale and then all of a sudden there is a rush to get rid of something for scrap pricing? Figure out what scrap price is and then add some margin and then sell it to someone that WANTS it!!!

Could very well be Ken. There were several on the line and they all seemed to have the same specs and looked like they were destined to a DOT somewhere or maybe a large construction company.

2002 picture at Macungie Plant. Boy, I like that yellow cab.

I find the engineering, design and pre-production work done nowadays by 3D printers quite remarkable. If I had the money for a 3D printer, it would be great to make little doodads such as B-75, B-81, Thermodyne emblems. When prices come down, it might be feasible for small runs.

I like R model truck exhaust stock but Winfall wimmin stacked! Hope that doesn't make me a bad person....

That differential picture is Outrageous! Some engineering there.

Trying to class up the underlying vehicle with installation of a Dog.

Did a web search and found this. http://www.grandgeneral.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.product_details&flypage=truck_led.tpl&category_id=158&product_id=977&Itemid=13

What? Who are you? We will need verification of the secret password and handshake.... And there will be a quiz later.

Museums are a labor of love. I have the VA tractor museum on my list of stops (someday?) because the photos of tractors and trucks is pretty mind blowing. The owners have made some excellent selections to spend their money. Guerrera was putting together a superb collection before his passing. No doubt in my mind it would have been always kept up but would have required continued cash infusion from him. That was his passion so it was going to happen. I can barely keep my stuff together and you can count it on one hand. Can't imagine the money and hours keeping 20,30 40, 50 etc of trucks, tractor, machines up and running and looking good for display or shows.

See them every so often on ebay. Maybe Iowa 80 truck stop has them new?

The Diamond T rack body truck had been at Guerrera's Golden Age of Trucking museum before it disbanded. The Diamond T had been purchased by Guerrera from someone in the midwest back in the late 1990's. Harry M (Jevic/New Cent.) sold his green single axle B model and a curtain side hobby truck hauling trailer to George Tackaberry in Canada.

Looks Great! There sure have been some design changes to packer bodies since the little one was in action. It is amazing you had one to restore because so many rusted out or vanished when scrap prices went through the roof a few years ago.

In the picture it looks pretty straight so it could be $100-125. Haven't seen too many for sale out there lately. Also, haven't heard of too many people screaming to get one.

There was a company that was pulling Heil pneumatic bulks for plastic pellets that was sold on (suckered into) a single drive axle and dummy second axle both on air. Second axle did NOT lift. After the first snow storm, the truck was in the shop and had a lift installed. It survived the winter barely. That spring, it was on two drive axles. I sort of think a non steer, lift pusher on a single drive 2nd axle would be better.

Says she was logged on a couple of days ago for a visit. Plus, we aren't that nasty to scare her away...?

That is an accessory grille guard for Mack E model, for example. I suppose it could have been used on an Mack A model also.
