Doug Maney Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Most of the pieces outside are gone. Some were sold, some were scrapped and some traded amongst collectors. I was glad to get in his yard with a camera when I did. Quote Interested in Old Trucks? Check out: www.antiquetruckclubofamerica.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise,Mike.I ran an ad in the Wheels of Time for anybody that knew anything about BCR's or had any manuals ,ads,etc. on them.Marv called me and told me he had 5 or 6 in his yard! he told me they kitted them.he had one with a 237 and a quad box.He said he wouldn't sell that one.The others I could have for $500-$1000 a piece! Told him I had one,just was looking for more info on them.Had the pleasure of shaking his hand at Macungie 3 weeks later! Gene Olson told me he had been in a bad wreck that had left him in bad shape,a year or so before I met him.Another nice guy in the hobby!
