This G model is currently owned by a guy who did a lot of work for me. A friend of his had bought 3 trucks from Covington: this one, the four wheel drive GMC and a B81 Mack. He had great plans for them but did nothing. They sat at this guy's place for decades and rusted away. When the owner died a few years ago the trucks were sold and my mechanic ended up with this one. I tried to buy it several times. My father looked at it and said to stay away. Mike.

https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/usda-partnerships-climate-smart-factsheet-22.pdf. This might answer some of your questions. My wife is the person who applied for the grant. She is the farmer. I work off the farm. Mike

The program is to fence off streams to keep livestock out of them. This allows vegetation to grow alone the stream. The vegetation decreases run off thus decreasing flooding and sedimentation. The decreased sediment increases oxygen carrying capacity of the water making the streams healthier for fish. Tree growth over the stream decreases water temperatures which provides better habitat for sport fish like trout. This supplements the fishing industry. It is not a simple one for one proposition. As I mentioned, we can figure out how to get this done without the grant. We raise much of our own food. There are farmers that will not be able to fill the gap caused by increased tariffs and cuts to foreign aid leading that provided their income. Where will you get your food from if they are not growing it for you? Michael

We were going to get a federal grant to put up fence for our sheep, but the program was canceled today. It was a ‘climate smart grant’. We all know someone who was negative affected by a climate disaster last year. We can figure things out in our own, but what about people who really need these programs that are being eliminated. People whose lives depend on farming and the federal prop are the only things that are keeping their family farms going. Where are we going to get food from? People whose houses get washed away in floods and look for federal aid to help rebuild. I suspect many of us will be affected by these policies that everyone is so happy about until they are personally affected. Michael Yarnall

It looked like a corporate can so White makes sense. There’s a lot going on in that shed.

Dennis Yaworski in Connecticut has several LR’s and LV’s. I don’t know if he would sell parts though. Mike

That C model looks like a good project. I bought an aluminum sleeper year but don’t have any pans for it yet. is the big red thing an Autocar?

I posted on the G model site that Mikey has been active on. I’ll contact hi directly if he doesn’t reply.

Is this better?

Hello Gentlemen. I got a C609 but it is missing the Bulldog base and the radiator emblem. I’m told the base is the same as an LTL so everyone probably has one or two lying around. The Mack emblem is the same as the G model and N model so they have to be really common too. So, if you happen to have one or both please let me know. Thanks. Michael Yarnall. Douglassville Pa.

I have a great place by me, but I am in PA. Trappe Generator. You could ship it to them but it wouldn’t be cheap. Rebuilt is usually around $200 I think. Mike

I’m sure it is Ken’s MH. That F model with the fancy sleeper is on the other side.

Welcome. Nice H61’s. Mike

I do not own the yellow brockway. I forget the owner’s name but I have talked to him several times. I think he is from NJ. Mike

It’s either and E model or A model. I bet A, like a A51, but I would have to see the grill to tell if A or E.

Great work. This is one of the times when the drive train is more valuable than the sheet metal. Mike

Welcome back. If you like to sell the autocar instead of cutting it up let me know. I could find you another Autocar to rod. Mike.

John was in the SEPA chapter of ATCA. I knew him through that. They sold some of his Brockway parts at Macungie about 6 years ago. I think the family kept one or two of his trucks.

I did. Saw him at Macungie every year.

I knew Tom well. I have two of his trucks. He had well over a hundred when he died but they were all kept outside and many of them were in terrible condition. That L model was nice. I considered buying it but chickened out. I think they were asking $7000 for it. Did you buy it? The cement mixer was a great deal. I considered buying it but didn’t want to pay to have it hauled to PA. If this Kenworth looks as nice as it did, I’d give $10,000 for it. Have him call me. Mike.

With a serial number of 1057 it definitely is not a 1953. Someone on here might have the serial number list and be able to tell you the delivery date and original fire company. The thing circled in blue is the master cylinder for the brakes. It will likely need to be rebuilt or replaced. As will the wheel cylinders- 1 on each front wheel and two on the back. The brake fluid destroys them. By now you have figured out that it has hydraulic brakes. Get the brakes rebuilt and the master cylinder filled and bled before you put the body on. Otherwise it is a terrible job to do on you back under the truck. keep us posted on your progress. Mike

What is the serial number on your truck. It has the old style fenders which make it pre 1950. I have serial number 1101 which is a 1947. Your is likely from the war years with the painted radiator shell. Steve S gave you the answer you need. Hopefully you documented the disassembly so you can put it back together. I would never have the guts to take a truck that far part. Good luck with it. Mike

I’d say you find more door parts to the L model and restore the parts H model next.

Here it is.

Dan, did you see the FP in the weeds in NorCal? It’s perfect for you. If you have a guess of the year I’ll look through mine and see if I have it. I wouldn’t part With it but could copy it for you. mike.
