41chevy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Paul, That had 1300x20 tires. Never seen them before.Miller tire in Ohio makes them, Lot of mid 30's trucks ran them along with the 8.00 x 40 for my AC., Paul Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I like how they cut Mack into that diomond plate. Also on that little green R model, you see the picture of it on the right side, and the half flaps with the bulldogs on them, where can I get those?

Green Dash Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 The green, single axle R model reminds me of the hundreds of those I had seen as a kid. Those are my favorite finds at truck shows. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rover Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Wow! What a great show. My wife flew up to Vermont and forced her parents, who are in their 80's, to come down and my daughter forced her husband to come up from Ct. Know what, they all had a great time. We looked at trucks and took a million pics,and when the old folks got tired they'd go back to the hall and sit for a spell, someone would come along and strike up a conversation, and before they knew it,they came away with a bunch of new friends.I had to crawl under the beautiful over restored AC model in the hall to figure out why it needed air tanks for mechanical brakes. I can imagine what a thrill it must have been to try and stop with a full load. Saturday I grabbed a raincoat and umbrella and went it alone, sloshing through the mud to get one last look at the Macks, Autocars, and Brockways. Couldn't believe that no one brought a U-model,that should give Vinny some incentive to get his on the road.Thanks to whoever brought Peter J's H Model, which I kept going back to and caught myself just standing in front of it, studying the details, RIP Peter J,your effort is appreciated.The H-63 that I purchased from Mr. Turpin is having the engine replaced by his son Matt. After that it will come home for paint and interior,and some of the details that Peter J already thought through will now be easier for me to accomplish without experimenting. I drove up from Atlanta on thursday and drove back sunday, pulled in the driveway at 1 am monday morning, so wired from vivarin that it was 4am before I went to sleep. Thanks to all of you for making the show such a success by being who you are, and you are good people. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now has a supercharged Cummins in it as it was built brand new from Mack.The Hall Scott engine was put into a third LTL that he bought from Jack Frost. He then sold that truck to a fellow in Australia.Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
