Popular Post yarnall Posted October 1, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2014 Being in the land of the Pennsylvania Dutch, Dutchmen are not particularly uncommon unless they are from Holland. Leon and Rene from the Netherlands came over for Trucktoberfest and Mack Day. Today they got a tour of John Haines' collection from Art Cooper then they met me at my mechanic's place where the H613 and B66 are getting worked on. This G733 was out front. This B83 has been posted on here before. It is at the same place. It was in way better shape when it arrived. Here is the B66. I couldn't find a better EN460 so this one is getting bored. We went to look at my junk next. You've seen enough pictures of them. Next we went to Baro's where my father works. They run an all Mack fleet. Haines and Kibblehouse have several divisions next to Baro's so we walked over there and checked them out. Lastly we went to a place where I have two R models and two F models. All are pretty much junk.. Mike 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37236-dutch-visitors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Maney Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'm glad everything worked out for them yesterday. We were up pretty late Monday night on my back porch talking trucks. 1 Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

yarnall Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Unfortunately I am not holding out about the G733. It belongs to a friend of my mechanic's. He bought the B83 about 12 years ago. It looked great at that time. He got a GMC 660 4x4 wrecker at the same time. They have both gone down hill since then. Had I known this G model was still up there I would have tracked it down. I had a good time yesterday. I think they did too. They didn't even look at the non-Macks at my house. They are good company. Today they were heading to the gift shop at the Mack Plant then to Cohen Brothers salvage yard in Downingtown, PA. Then on to R. L. Jackson's salvage yard in Maryland.

Popular Post Doug Maney Posted October 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2014 I'd been hoping to get them to my place for the past few years, this year the timing worked out. We had a home cooked dinner here at Maney Mack Manor followed up by hours of truck conversation over some Straub Beer. I arranged tours for them on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I would do the same for anyone, that is what this hobby is all about. 3 Quote Interested in Old Trucks?
