leversole Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I had the privelege of putting about 100 miles on a rare one this weekend...1972 CF-719...No 12 of 14 ever made! Twin turbo 864 with a 4-speed Allison...Pretty sweet! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27688-somebodys-gonna-be-jealous/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Beautiful! I'd seen a CF sitting at the station along the Turnpike near the 129 mm, but that was quite some time ago and the garage doors are usually closed.

Green Dash Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 New Baltimore is along the PA Turnpike near mm 129, at the bottom of the long hill that is just east of the Allegheny Tunnel. What would be considered the "downtown" area on on a 2 lane road that runs parallel to the turnpike. The Fire Department is visible from the pike.Some may be familiar with the Church that sits on a hill adjacent to the eastbound lanes in New Baltimore. There are wide spots on both east and westbound lanes with stairs leading from the highway to the road above providing travellers access to the Church. There is also a Cross that is illuminated at night and visible to westbounders.

72U685ST Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Well since I'm a new guy and haven't done all my training yet I can only ride in a closed cab truck so I can't be in the back of the cf. I'd go up front but the officers always ride there. Eric Quote Unmistakeable Design, Unmatched Performance.
