Popular Post other dog Posted July 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2014 Didn't see a lot this week, just a Ford Ranger pickup. And a girl in a Jeep wearing a short dress with a bag obstructing my view.I saw a tree blocking the road after a storm.It wasn't a very big tree- I had the option to back up about a quarter of a mile and go around a detour through an industrial park at first, but I told the guys I would wait. I figured by the time I did all that they would have the tree out of the way...wrong again- I sat there for 2 1/2 hours.I did see a Tundra pickup while I was sitting there.Saw a giant creature in the sky one morning.that, or it might have been just a strange looking bug on the window.I saw another big yellow machine. Big yellow machines are very common, see them everywhere.How about this big blue machine in McKees Rocks-and a big red Mack truck-I saw a big green Mack truck too....and I saw a Chevrolet. 13 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mack mhe9 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 We had that tree in the road thing here in north east PA also. The engine under looked to be in nice shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Looks like the storm wasn't quite good. It should be more violant to put the tree well down on the road.The monsterous creature seem very real in the sky, and I like Tundra pickup.And the rest Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Indeed- went back to P.L.Duncan's place in Cumberland, Va. I'd been twice before, by myself and once with Nocluejoe66. I saw about everything before but still ended up taking 125 pictures. I went with a young man who lives near here, I think he's about 20 years old, and he's all about trucks. Real nice guy, when I asked him if it was worth the trip he said it was the best trip he'd ever taken.Then I came home and grilled- 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted July 13, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2014 Speaking of dogs, the half dogs on the hoods used to be a lot bigger.How about this IH with a sleeper. Saw one like this on Hank's Truck Pictures one time, it was an old Mayflower truck I think.Even saw a red, black,and blue Brown. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted July 13, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2014 really nice, personal collection or waiting for someone to make the right offer? and damn now ive got to start the grill this afternoon. thanksJust a personal collection, gathered over many years. He owns a trucking company too, I don't think he wants to sell anything.He has a ton of stuff in the old store too, which closed in 1981. There was actually some canned food, spices, kool-aid, some medicine, and other stuff left from the store, plus lots of old signs, oil, antifreeze- had one gallon metal cans of Ford anti-freeze on the shelf, marked $1.Check out the songs on this old jukebox- 9 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted July 13, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2014 WoW! Look at those showcases! Talk about collectibles.Those old emblems are probably worth a small fortune, and I didn't take picture around the walls but it's loaded with old signs, dozens of them. The American pickers would have a field day there,they love old signs.Saw another thing of interest while I was there. This Jeep used to belong to my father-in-law.He sold it to a guy I used to work with at H.H.Moore's, probably in the late 80's. The guy that bought it still drives for F.L.M. in fact. Anyway, he must have sold it to somebody else, because it sat up on rt. 20 between Dillwyn and Scottsville for several years at a little place called Centenary. I hadn't seen it there for years and had no idea what became of it. I thought about it every time I passed by when I went up rt. 20 to Charlottesville, and whaddya know, there it was at P.L.Duncan's.It was still all green when my father-in-law had it but it's a little rusty now. I still recognized it right away because of that aluminum top, never seen another one like it, and more so because of that big winch mount in front. He had a big winch made out of a 3 speed transmission on the front of it and took it off and put it on his '66 Scout 800 when he sold the Jeep.And I saw another thing of interest to me while I was there. This D860 used to be a wrecker at Cumberland Auto Service. I worked there after I finished high school, it was my first job. I was there 2 1/2 years, and thought that old GMC was just the greatest truck ever. First "big truck", or diesel, I got to drive, except for a Euclid. It has a 6-71 with a 5 speed and 2 speed rear, and it just sounded great, like a 6-71...sorry Yardo, I was easily impressed...After I left there and went on to bigger and- well, after I left the owner sold the 860 to a local farmer who put a grain body on it and added another axle, and he put the wrecker on this 9500 GMC. (see,it's blue like the 860)The farmer sold it to another man a few years ago, and when I stopped and took the pictures he said he planned to make a roll-back out of it. You could see it from rt. 60 when this guy had it, then it disappeared again. I asked my brother and Mom and Dad what he had done with and where it was, but they didn't know.And whaddya know, there it was at P.L.Duncan's!You can see where they removed the other axle, and you can still see "Cumberland Auto Service" on the doors!So, if you're wondering what happened to something or where something might be that you've lost track of, P.L.Duncan probably has it... 6 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
