umodelnut Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 I don't really get the blue ball thing. Do your ball turn blue for some reason I don't want to say? Maybe that's why he crashed.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The B actually looks pretty good considering the wall it had to crash through! The trailer looks like it was just too tall for the second floor! Yeah B67, maybe mama seen papa coming Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Do your ball turn blue for some reason I don't want to say? Maybe that's why he crashed....If you look at the size and angle of a B model steering wheel, you'll understand. The owners of the former Blue Bell Hotel changed it's name immediately after the accident to honor the crotch-holding driver.The B actually looks pretty good considering the wall it had to crash through! The trailer looks like it was just too tall for the second floor! Yeah B67, maybe mama seen papa coming It was a B61 before the impact.

57 bcr Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I bet they dusted that truck off, replace a few broken lenses (if it even had any),and put 'er right back in service.The trailer,however.not so lucky!

h67st Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 That brings back memories...in about 1973 one of my dad's drivers was in a B67, hit a large pothole and ran into the side of a TV station in Jacksonville Florida. Needless to say they had a cameraman out there posthaste and it made the evening news. The truck didn't fare so well...the whole truck was pretty well bent.

If I was a chick, I'd like you too. What's ironic is that truck looks alot like the B60 we're restoring. It's wrecked in the front a little bit too. Oh well, cool pics, thanks for sharing them.

Moosejockey Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Blue Ball Pa. is a town where rt.'s 23 and 322 intersect in Lancaster county. Blue Ball hotel dated back to 1706. Building took several hits over the years. It was torn down 10-15 years ago. The town took it's name from the hotel. No, I don't know how the hotel got it's name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
