Central PA Macks

[yarnall]

Looks like they have not moved since you took the pics. I did not see the Indiana...is it more to east? If so I did not venture past the Fs. I knew the Paccar was not a F but could not see well enough to know if it was a Pete or KW.

The F models have not moved in a long time. The Indiana is less than a mile east on the far side of a cinder block building. I first saw that truck in 1991. It has not gotten better with age. Here is a thread about it. Mike

Next trip I will venture farther east. Sounds like it is near the Auto Museum.

When you say "extension" on the cabs, are you referring to the area where the sleeper depth was increased? That became standard issue in......I don't know when.

Here's an interior shot from a brochure. The back wall was extended as a simple way to accomodate a larger mattress.

This is a photo of a Ward Lafrance fire truck in a parade somewere in eastern Conn in 1970. Look at the two Macks in the background, one F and one H model !

The photographer probably had no clue that has was doing a great service to Mack fans when he/she took that picture.

Kinda looks like the buildings on Rt 6/66 in Windham

WOW! Does that bring back memories or what? LMAO!!!!

These two RDs (??) are a mile from the farm and have been sitting for a couple weeks. There is a green ribbon on the LH mirror bracket. Not sure if they are for sale or just "sitting idle". NES&L's business seems slow but I see their trucks on the roads. Just not the Macks.

Saw this Beautiful R at TFC Truck Rally 89 350 9 Speed Canadian built R

Owned buy a younger fella named Greg from Tamaqua Maybe MHe9 knows him ?

[james j neiweem]

Always liked the Canadian R's with long frames and large fuel tanks/sometimes double tanks

[farmer52]

This picture was in the local paper - Morrison's Cove Herald, Thursday August 7, 2014 edition. I don't remember the Mack but I do remember the Chevy.

Old R saves the day , when Brett's N14 broke on way to Buck in June , Dave left him use his yard truck to get his Puller the rest of the way there.

Reason #32 for never getting rid of a Dog.

I posted this Superliner owned by J.H.Russell in the Superliner pic thread. Also a pic of an RD(?) at a work site about a mile from the PA farm.
