other dog Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Picked up a new Truck Paper at the Go-Mart in Fairplain yesterday and saw a whole nest of Superliners on the back cover. They're auctioning them off and the opening bid was $1,000. I didn't go to the website and check them out yet, but they look good in the pictures.Saw this other one inside the paper, also a good looking unit.

Mike Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Tom, I believe i'm going to the ATHS SouthBend, Indy trip. I would enjoy going through the Studebaker Museum. I'm glad when I rarely go into a market that I don't get those magazines,cause I would find an excuse to buy another truck. That would keep me from restoring the one I already have. mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/18995-superliners/#findComment-77443 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially would like to see the WWII Army Truck. In my new ATHS Book I recently recieved, someone has three 6 bys. I believe one is a 1942. My dad talked about their outfit having Diamond T's pulling their equipment. To this day I still don't know what a Diamond T looked like during the war. I'm used to seeing more Dodges and GMC's that came back from that war. I do recall at the Huntsville ATHS Show, an Army truck that was restored to perfection. It's getting rare to find these trucks. The UPS driver that comes to our building has a couple of Korean War trucks. He is involved in reenacting. I just wonder where these guys find the equipment. I enjoy looking the Army Surplus stores, but have not seen any WWII equipment for probably 20 years or longer. mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/18995-superliners/#findComment-77485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stev Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I've seen a lot of their advertisements on ebay and the like; always exhorbitantly overpriced. I've always thought of them as a "front" for other businesses.RobThey are a bit north of me, I have been theree once or twice. There is a lot of stuff there, including containers and trailers. Recently, they increased the price of another superliner they have had on the lot for over a year by 4000$: http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=2170584& which is a nice truck ( although I admit to being put off by the blue frame when I looked at it). They are pricey, and have bought other trucks around here only to list them at higher prices.Don't know what the deal is . . . . They are nice enough people, though . . . . . .
