Did any other trucks show up Sunday?

I don't know, I was there on Saturday. There was also a nice Granite roll off from Ben Weitsman that showed up later in the afternoon. If only this darn Astro hadn't jumped into the shot.

That's a good looking Astro! one of the first trucks I ever drove for a living,still kinda have a soft-spot for them! I put a LOT of miles on the one I ran,300 Cummins,10 speed Road-Ranger,single axle air-ride...................................................Mark

John Mauro's 87 Autocar that he bought from Gennaro with only 10,000 miles on it was at this show as a chassis. I just saw the pic on Diesel Dose Blog. John sold this truck to Ted Bolkema. Nobody here got a pic of it? It's got a 425 Cat which Ted had redone with ceramic pistons blueprinted etc. 13 double over. 58 rears on 65 Hendrickson. It had a Steelfab body on it. There is a pic that Jack Byrnes Hill took at Florham Park years ago. It is on his Flickr account so I won't post it here. This truck was badass. It sat in a garage for years rarely used then they sold it to John. Anyway there you go.

I remember two A cars there with steel fenders, both were red. think one had a box and the other was a cab and chassis with a rusty chrome air cleaner. was parked next to the orange Pompa Bros Granite

[DailyDiesel]

I wish I had know you would be there Rick, maybe next time.

Anyyy whooo, the A-Car in question. BTW, any time someone finds something on my site that they would like to share please do so.

[RFCDrum]

Yes thank you this is it. I hope they bring this truck to it's old glory. I know Ted pestered John for a long time to sell it to him and gave him an ungodly amount of money for her.

[Maddog13407]

that's the one I was thinking of. was sittin right on the bench next to it when he pulled it in. sure has a LOW gear in her

[RFCDrum]

That's why it had the double over in her. John didn't mess with the motor too much since it was already a 425. The first thing Ted did was soup the shit out of her.
