David Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Bob, Good pictures. I don't think anyone will have any like them as most of us don't heave a bucket truck available when it's time to take pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveigou Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 What is the story behind them? Any photos of interiors?Tackaberry had known about these trucks and had talked about them for some time. For some reason, the man that owned them never even titled them, never registered them, never ran them, I think they all have less than 1,500 miles on them, and the Pete and the Acar are nearly perfect. The Diamond Reo had been painted, but I suspect that was done as soon as he (the original owner) bought it. I believe it is a 1971, a Lansing Mich built truck, 335 Cummins / 15 spd RR. If I heard correctly, it has less than 200 miles on it. The Pete and Acar are mid 80's vintage.The Acar is the only one I got an interior shot of. Tackaberry had just picked them up, and they had not done anything with them yet. I'm glad to see them get these trucks, because they will be preserved as they are for others to enjoy. 1 Quote See my Flickr photostream page http://www.flickr.com/photos/96692978@N05/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had the funds to buy some and decide later if I even wanted to title them or use them! I bought a brand new Case horsedrawn hay rake a few years ago still in the crate out of a factory being torn down, but that pales in comparison to the investment the guy laid out when he bought these new!

bobgil Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I guess the bucket truck was cheating but I figured that I would us it since I had it there.Here are a few more.Did anybody ever fine ROB??? I looked all over for him and tried calling him too. I had some stuff for him and considered going by his place but still no answer hope all is ok.Bob 1 Quote Bob Gil If it an't a Mack could it really be a truck???

gvam Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Sorry I did not get to catch up with you guys. My Dad has always wanted to attend the show and really wanted to visit the Mack factory. He has been having trouble with his knee lately and is not able to walk as much as he used to, so I thought I better get him to the factory tour first. By the time we got back, I missed the photo. Always next year. Most of you...err I mean all you guys llok great in the picture.Better have Yarnall sign the photo now. He is becoming famous with his '50 A-car on the cover of the ATCA "Double Clutch" magazine this month. Good job Mike!Hey did anyone get some pics of the B8136 sx wrecker?. Of course my camera did not want to coorperate when I tried to snap some photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTFormula Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hello all. I hope you all don't mind me signing up to join in the conversation. I do not own an old or new commercial truck, Mack or other wise but I always appreciated them - especially B models. My uncle Ron Novrit is in the business (Ronald E. Novrit Transportation Consultants) and asked if I wanted to go to the show. It was my first truck show and I am hooked. I will be back next year and might get the bug to get an old truck to show as well (I have some classic cars).Here are about 130+ pictures I took: http://s387.photobucket.com/albums/oo320/jtformula/Macungie%20PA%20Truck%20Show%206-16-12/I have about 5 shots of that B8136 sx wrecker. That was my favorite truck of the show. I used to work for a towing company and had my own wrecker (78 C30 Chevy with Wreckmaster Body) for a few years as well so they have a special place in my heart. I wanted to buy a B Tow Truck but I don't have the room right now. Seeing all those great trucks and some of those collections, I have to give you guys come credit. Collecting/Restoring these things is a whole different world then doing muscle and classic cars.I hope you enjoyed the pictures.JT Burkard Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mackwww.jtresto.com www.wickedreputation.netwww.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Maney Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I am glad you enjoyed the show JT, I only have one concern. You picked the greatest antique truck show in the world as your first example. Don't be discouraged if the others just don't meet your expectations. There is just something special about the ATCA National Meet that gets you hooked, maybe it is a combination of everything. There are many more good shows around and I will probably see you at some of them..This Saturday is the TFC Rally at the Lebanon Fairgrounds in Lebanon, PA. Saturday morning there is an 8 mile parade route that we take the trucks out on. There is a good turnout of old and new equipment. It is worth attending and is a fundraiser for Transport for Christ, a great mission.Doug 2 Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

LolWe must have been right next to eachother and didnt realize it. Now that I see the labeled BMT photo, I know I caught a glimpse of Leslie and Mike parking Mikes trucks but other than that I didn't meet anybody face to face. I was planning on making the BMT photo but when it came time I was hung up with some friends. Sorry buddy...next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't quite sure what to expect since I am not a driver or own a Mack. But I have always found truckers and truck people to be the best folks around. Always friendly and always helpful. You'll see me around and hopefully I'll meet up with some of you guys at the next show.
