I used to haul coal to Panther Creek power plant that was on the same road as Tom spencer's shop. After work one day I stopped in at Tom's to look at trucks outside he had. He took me thru a tour of his shop. If I remember correctly Gary Mahan's Gulf Tanker was being restored there. Joe D.

Here is my 39 FH, has the Lanova diesel,needs full restoration, but have most everything. Picked it up from Chris Barry several years ago. Second truck is a heavy spec 37 BX I traded in on the FH. Rare truck and hated to see it go, but I always wanted an F model

Haybag, I have that BX now and am restoring it this winter. I will be glad to show you when its done

Yes euclidtc12 mine is 1 of 5 Delboso ordered, do you know anything about the trucks or the company? This truck is a bit of a mystery. When I got it I sent the cab serial #1162 to the mack museum and got the chassis records. truck is currently spec'd out just as the records show. I looked closer and found the frame # didn't match, it is 1071,91 numbers earlier. When I contacted the museum with that # the person said that # sounded familiar. It did because they had Irv Bickfords's truck ,cab # 1071 on loan at the museum at that time. he couldn't get at the frame # of that truck to read it. My truck has been in it's current state for a long time,but who knows what could have happened over 70+ years?
