other dog Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Now that '59 Tucker is a neat looking machine! I've only been in New Hampshire a couple of times. We went north on 91 in Vermont, crossed into New Hampshire, went a little farther north to a job site. Hauled structural steel up there, not very far into N.H, it was just a little ways across the river from Vermont, but I can't remember the name of the place.That was in the '80's, I was driving a cabover KW.

If you crossed over Rt. 89 than would would be north of White River Junction. The Tuckers were a head of their time, would go anywhere and used down the south pole.

fifth wheel Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Do you remember how far up 91? If you crossed over Rt. 89 than would would be north of White River Junction. The Tuckers were a head of their time, would go anywhere and used down the south pole.I remember some had cabs similar to Dodge trucks (41-47), will go through deep powder no problem. All you can see is just the top of the cab.FW Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30236-road-call-for-a-tucker/#findComment-169562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
h67st Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I stayed in a cabin in Gorham a few years ago, spent a week hiking Pinkham Notch and area...absolutely beautiful. If anyone gets a chance to hike to Arethusa Falls or Diana's Baths, they are spectacular. North Conway is a great little town, hopefully it's not getting too touristy.

North Conway is a great little town, hopefully it's not getting too touristy.Bring your lunch when passing through Conway....A lot of tourist now which is good for the area and the old train station but hard traveling with a big truck. It is a very beautiful area all around Mt.

sbrem Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 It was at the Grand View Lodge, actually in Randolph on Rt. 2.Been past there many times. If you continued on into Gorham on Rt 2 just a bit beyond the bottom of the big hill there is a road on the left called Jimtown road. Our camp was off of Jimtown road.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Great scenery!As about the truck, left fuel tank can tell us where it is from.How does that happen???On Mt. Washington the weather can change very quickly. The truck is covered in Rime ice which forms on mountain tops above the fog line(clouds). I won't say what the truck is yet. I'm sure some one will get it right.Here is a picture on the summit with my brother on our trip in August 1970 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30236-road-call-for-a-tucker/#findComment-169933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
