57 bcr Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 The sharp red/silver CH in the picture along with the BCR,belongs to Buck-A-Dell Farms of Huntley,Il. It is a former Matlack truck. Ron "Re-Run" Behrens drives it. Saturday was the first day this year he had it out of the barn. Said he wanted to run the dust off of it!

My uncle's truck is an all silver Peterbilt, Jim(aka 150) drives my old red/silver Pete and my Dad has the blue Pete with the bunk. I know he was on 20 Friday. My blue Pete was resting in the barn. I'm in a red/black Pete now. It was probably your dad then I heard you were a bit surprised to find out Stan Guess had bought that old red B model.

Looks like it went to a good home. Stan looks like he's having a fun time with it. I saw he got it lettered this weekend. I was going to ask you about that truck,Brian. I thought Jim had owned it. Looked like a decent truck, at the meeting. The guy spent a good chunk of time talking to Dave's dad. That's what it's all about!
