j hancock Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Would be great to transport my stash of potato chips! Does have a couple of changes but is pretty clean for when it was built. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

fxfymn Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Quote Found these old tankers on a auction website If you decide to bid make sure they come with a title. They look like surplus and the locality may be selling something they don't really own since the feds require that you return any surplus item that the locality was given by the feds to the feds for them to sell or re-distribute. In some cases the locality gets clear title and they can sell it on though. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

The GSA is pretty good they always include a SF-97 with their wheeled things unless stated in the description usually the paperwork hits the mailbox in two or three days.

It was a Mack "Granite" straight truck with a set back axle and tandems. A huge truck; not even dusty yet. Noonan's used a lot of Macks but has been running Kenworths lately. Maybe they are moving back to Mack. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49997-found-old-box/#findComment-371039 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Freightrain Posted May 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2017 Having Ken's truck/pup trailer in my drive way has me thinking of having something just like that! The 28ft pup is too short for my use, but something along the lines of that moving van would be better. Something mid 30's in length would allow my car and 4wheeler plus room to sleep and have bathroom. Hmmmmm. 3 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
