Popular Post General Ike Posted February 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2016 Today i was driving between Cookeville TN and Albany KY where I manage a pair of healthcare facilities when i came across Fitzgerald Gliders. I stopped and of course they payed me no mind in a suit and tie (I cant blame them) but I poked around. This place is impressive. There were several hundred brand new Pete 389's and KW T800's among other KW, PB, WS, IH and Freightshakers there. Most brand spankin new waiting for drivetrain and stacks. On the east side of the road are the empty gliders and on the west are the ones with power waiting for pickup or delivery. while not Macks, the place seems to be turning out thousands of new gliders a year in an impressive operation..... Race car shop clean facilities. 3 Quote Ed Smith1957 B85F 1242 "The General Ike" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43962-gliders-fitzgerald-glider-kits/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

m16ty Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 One local guy has 3 387 Petes and another guy has one 387. They are basically new trucks without all the emissions junk.They seem to be really spitting them out but I wonder how long it will be before the EPA shuts them down?
