Richland Center WI ATHS truck show. Mack's and more!

[PeterMack]

This weekend while the east coast guys were at Gerhart's, BCR57(Al) and myself went to Richland Center WI

for an ATHS show held at Sheafor farms. While we were there we also met up with fellow BMT'er "Jakebrake"

who brought out his BCR. On the ride up we hit some snow and rain which kinda sucked but we made it, although

the trucks got a little crusty on the ride up. We took the scenic route which took us through some hilly and curvy

roads but the trucks handled it like fine European sports cars. Met up with a cool 359 going the other way and

went under two very narrow bridges. Saw a crane, and I remembered last time we went through this little town

there was a 4 axle Superliner sitting there and sure enough it was still there. Sharp truck, got a quick pic. Also

got Al to smile for the camera.

Here are the Mack's from the show. The Bisom trucks are as nice as they look. Very sharp trucks.

Here are a couple shots looking down on the show.

Would have been a good one to make it to this year. This will be the last time it will be held at Sheafor farms. It has been held there for

30 years but since Dan Sheafor passed away this year it will not carry on at his place. Was a beautiful place to have the show. There

is talk of having it at the fair grounds right around the corner from the farm for next year. The show will go on, just not at this location.

At dusk on Saturday the Bisom B was backed up to the loading dock to pick up a couple items. Great looking truck!

At nightfall the fire pit was lit, and it was good timing because it was about 35 degrees out, I wanted to sit in the fire!

On Sunday we took off around noon and on the way back we saw a plane. Was a good trip.

Yes I do. I have one from a couple years ago. The DT950 belongs to Patrick O'hare who is in the Northwest IL chapter of ATHS,

and the wrecker belongs to Maggio Towing from Rockford IL. They host the NWIC ATHS meeting every year around mid May and

also have a big open house Christmas dinner for their customers and the ATHS. They are big supporters of our local chapter.

Hey, who's that jackass leaning on the fender of my truck? Oh, wait....never mind.

It was a nice place for a show - when it used to be a small show. If there was a big turnout some of the trucks were packed so tight that it was hard to veiw or get good photos. And it was a difficult climb for some folks to see the tractors. Spectator parking was poor too. Some people wanted to see it at the park or fairgrounds years ago, but there was a history that prevented that.

Thanks. Mine is a 2000. One of the last with the old flat dash. My Dad bought it new. He ordered it, I bought it in 07 when his new one

came in. The roof on the truck was not always dark blue. The paint started peeling on the roof around 03 so Pete repainted it and Dad

had them paint it dark blue. I just had it redone again last year by LargeCarRebuilders because it was peeling again. Large Car said

the primer was probably junk so the took it all off and started over. I also had them re-do the horn blocks, put on a different visor and

had them re-locate the CB antenna to the back of the bunk. The truck has a 6NZ 550hp C-15 CAT, 18spd , 3:90 rears with full lockers.

I am going to do a few more things with the truck but I am splitting my money between the B-model and the Pete. Someday I'll get

them both done. One piece at a time. Here is a picture of my truck and Dads 07 side by side at a show last year.

Is your cb antenna hard mounted to the cab?
