other dog Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The story behind the hat is that Old Bill, "The Diesel Gypsy", asked me to wear it, so I did. I'll try to make a long story short- He told me several years ago that he had the hat, somebody in Australia had sent it to him. He was preparing to move from Elliot Lake to Blind River because his wife had been accepted into a nursing home there, after being on a waiting list to get in for several years. He was "downsizing" in preparation for the move and getting rid of some things. I hated that he said he threw many boxes of pictures in a dumpster- I would have loved to go through those! So anyway, he told me he was going to send me the hat, but only if it fit me. He asked me what size hat I wore, and I didn't even know- caps are pretty much "one size fits all" you know. But I assured him that it would fit, so he sent it. This was only the second time i've worn it, the first time being at the Winchester, Va. ATHS Show a few years ago. I talked to him on the phone a few weeks ago and when I told him I was thinking about going to Macungie he said to "wear the hat, and take some pictures". So I did. It's a really nice hat too, an Akumbra, made in Australia, got a little bulldog on it and a gold "Mack" emblem. I never wear it, just keep it in my truck memorabilia cabinet. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Brocky Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The tall man in front of me is Art Grover, a Brockway man from the ATCA Florida chapter.

Dave was kind enough to fix dinner for a couple of us on Friday evening. He also gave a tour of the rig. Very well done. He mentioned for power it had a 383 stroker. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50205-holy-smoke-look-who-showed-up/page/2/#findComment-373109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
