41chevy Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Is the E cabover Ballantine truck still in CT? Was it at the Hayes Museum or the Golden Age of Trucking Museum? .

j hancock Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Was it at the Hayes Museum or the Golden Age of Trucking Museum? . I only have the pic because the Box came from Froelicks Farm in Huntington L.I. and my cousin Gene and I chased after the MACK for yearsLast time I heard about it, the truck belonged to a collector in the Danbury area and he had for sale. Just wondering where it was. It may have been at Golden Age but I must not have visited when it was on display. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

mackdaddy Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Schroyer out of Ohio has brought an axle back Jimmie to shows. I think it is a day cab. How about the ones that were on air ride front and back too? and I believe independent suspensions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Mackdaddy Pretty sure Schroyer's Crackerbox is air ride front and rear. I saw it a few times at ATHS Shows. Suspension is different to say the least. They have quite the collection of trucks. Not just one brand but many varied ones. All nicely done.

Popular Post 41chevy Posted April 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2014 Took photos at one show of his truck. There was also another one with the wheel off to display the front Level Ride Air Suspension. 7 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackdaddy Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 the blue one belonged to Mack Cheesley(not sure if last name is correct) from Phoenix, AZ. He had some nice Macks at one time.

57 bcr Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Those air ride crackerboxes had a boxed section frame with a big X in the middle which doubled as an air reservoir. Interesting design.........not a good one,but still interesting! 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

rsb502 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 That front suspension looks pretty advanced for the early 60's, I'd say ahead of its time. 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post other dog Posted April 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2014 I know it's not Friday, but hopefully I won't be home on Friday. Got a picture of part of the Burns fleet at Sam Black Church, West Virginia when I picked my trailer up Sunday.I was hoping this fancy unit would be there but it wasn't. I did see it parked in Nettie, and it passed by when I was broke down in Levaisy and I got a couple of pictures. I'd seen it on the road several times before, it's an anniversary edition, 65th. I think it said. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That what was thinking, but there a1937 Orange AC that has a Cummins HB600 dealer installed when new and it's a few inches longer than the Gas 6. Would the 4 been a Bseries or the Marine style Cummins ran at Indy in 1930's?
