mack mhe9 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yes I thought it was a great show. I can only imagine Vlad brain was spinning. Nice to see he made it and that a hobby can bring so many different people together.

David Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 David - missed seeing you at Macungie. Did you have "orange" on the back of your truck? If so, need I say any more?.... Yes Little Orange was on the trailer. But at 11 mph I would have arrived about Tuesday. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31573-macungie-thoughts/page/2/#findComment-188932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

220cummins Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 We missed the photo at noon too busy looking at trucks. We ended up purchasing the Cruiseliner cab off Matt Pfahl and have to pick it up later this week. I want to put out a big thanks to Watts Mack for helping out with the "paperwork" and to a few of members of BMT (Barry,Farmer52(Ken),Mack MHe9(Ray),sm54(Steve), and Doug Maney) who helped sort out or arrange shipping and storage of the cab. We drove out in our GMC Terrian and left our truck and trailer back in Pittsburgh not thinking we were going to be purchasing a cab or truck. I can't say enough good things about Doug Maney, his wife, and daughter for arranging storage off-site until we get out back out to Macgunie next week! They were instrumental! It goes show there are still good people out there and most of them like old trucks. It was great running into sm54 Steve and shooting the breeze, gimme a holler if you're in the Pittsburgh area in your trips running the superliner and being a truck driver instead of mechanic! looking forward to getting the Cruiseliner project rolling again. I'll keep YINZ updated with some pics along the way.

It goes show there are still good people out there and most of them like old trucks. Awwww Shucks...I thank you for you comments. The ATCA is full of fantastic members that will typically go above and beyond to lend assistance. It just so happens that you got directed to me. I was glad to be able to help. There are many similar stories that circulate around the ATCA National Meet every year. One I heard this weekend from an ATCA convert was a couple of years old. He was at the show and was out of fuel. One of the local ATCA members ran him for fuel, primed it and got it started again. He was blown away by the hospitality. I am thrilled to have my wife, Vickey and our daughter, Erica at the show. They have a good time selling the merchandise and meeting all of the people that know me. I always regret not getting to speak to everyone but, there were just a few things that needed attention...Thanks for the kind words. Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

Vladislav Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Doug, great thanks for the work you have done. Too hope your wife and daughter enjoyed the way they were being involved. And it definitely looks like I have a brain storm. Spent a great time with Randy Y today. Man, thanks a lot for help on my visit and everything good!!!

brutis77 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I missed the show but have been scanning for pics. Looks like it was a fine show, funny how many r models and superliners were there.

I got an email saying he's going, but doesn't have a phone with him.He sent me an e-mail too, and I didn't even see it until today. He sent it to my hotmail account,which I don't use that much anymore. Just read one from Old Bill last week that he sent a month ago. I thought you were joking about Rob's phone being in the well! He said he planned on going to Lititz and bringing the R model. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

fxfymn Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 As always a GREAT show. Thanks to the many ATCA board members and staff that worked so hard to pull it off in spite of adverse weather conditions. As Doug has said many times "This is the best truck show in the world" and if you have not been there you need to make it no matter what. I talked two of my friends into coming this year and neither one can stop talking about the show. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

vision386 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 What a great event/show! I just wish I had come up maybe a day earlier! we arrived sat.about 9AM,i did the flea market vendor areas first (to get it out of my system)the went to Watt's tent,got my name tag and finally got to meet Barry and his guys.I did get to meet quite few BMT members,Leversole,Farmer52,57BCR,Joe Ditchkus,MH Fred,39 BabyMack,DCR,Jumper and son,FWD randy,Vlad and his son, and I know a lot more I just cant remember right now! my only disappointment with sat.was we went over to the factory/museum tour at around 2:00 and by the time we got back a lot of the trucks were leaving,so I didn't get to see a good many of them,and I was really hoping to be able to "shoot the shit" with everyone a little more,(i'm a lot more windy in person,and can talk a lot faster then a can type!) but all in all a great show! I really enjoyed the time we spent,NEXT YEAR,i'm going to plan a little better,and allow for more time in Macungie! My thanks again to Doug and all the ATCA members for a great show!.............Mark 1 Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.
