Popular Post other dog Posted September 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2014 I bought this book , from Amazon I think, that has the whole story of that convoy. It's a great book, about the trucking career and history of Cliff Bishop in Alaska and it's well worth getting. 9 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

57 bcr Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Thanks much,Fred! Asked if anyone hade ever seen that video, on BMT a couple of years ago. Never got any response. I was at a truck show in Milwaukee (Wis) in the early '90's,and this video was playing at Milwaukee Mack's display. Asked if I could get a copy of it, but the salesman said they only had that one, and by the way,"would you like to buy a new MACK?" I told him," no thanks,already got one!".

j hancock Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Thanks Paul, I was trying to read the article and couldn't with or without my glasses.I went through some of my literature and came up with a Bendix Westinghouse 25 HP air starter to get it spinning! 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
