oldspwr Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Does anybody have a copy of the October 1976 issue of Overdrive magazine? In the Sept issue, they mention there is going to be a full write up on Bolus Brockway in Scranton / Dunmore PA. Just trying to see if this story ever made the October issue. Here is a pic of the cover... Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50377-overdrive-october-1976/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyT Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Always thought Jimmy C. Was a good person, but his deregulation probably cost me a ton of money!, on the road, and in retirement! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50377-overdrive-october-1976/#findComment-374214 Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I do have that issue. I looked for the article but it's not in that issue. Seems to me I remember an article in another issue about Bolus,though. I'll look. Al Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

oldspwr Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Thanks 57 bcr. The reference to the Bolus story in the Oct 76 issue was in the Sept 76 issue with this cover... The dealer was actually called "Key Brockway" Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50377-overdrive-october-1976/#findComment-374261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I don't know if I have that issue or not,oldspwr? I did remember a story on Bolus in one of them. The name was familiar to me because there was a Bolus Truck Parts that used to advertise in the T-N-T magazine. Thanks for setting the record straight!

Popular Post david wild Posted July 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2017 21% interest at the bank for a truck loan in 1976 and you think jimmy Carter was a nice person ?????? that guy was and is dumb as box of rocks. Iran would still have our people if not for Ronnie, when will anyone learn the Liberal Democrats all suffer from the same mental defect ???? and if you think it is not defect then try and explain why the Mayor of NYC is at a protest in another country while the city buries another police officer ???? Liberals are demented and mentally sick. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50377-overdrive-october-1976/#findComment-374426 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post david wild Posted July 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2017 Ronnie is reason for the economy that Clinton inherited and takes credit for, Clinton did nothing but sit back play with his girlfriends and take credit for something he did not do, to say Ronald Regan was a puppet is foolish, he like Trump was so far ahead in his thinking that most people cannot understand what they were/are doing, the difference between someone like Obama and Trump is that you had a President that was not as smart as the general population and now you have a President that IS smarter than the general population, same was true with Regan and Clinton, Bush Sr. was neither, I think he was smart but not smart enough. If you think that sounds crazy go in to any truck stop and listen to some really dumb truck driver impress another dumb truck driver, dumb and dumber syndrome, same as Obama and his followers. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50377-overdrive-october-1976/#findComment-374436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post grayhair Posted July 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) I'm an unabashed Ronald Reagan fan. The years of his presidency were my most prosperous years. Tax cuts and "trickle-down" economics did work for me. I made a lot of money working for industrial companies that were owned by very rich people. The tax cuts flowed to them and some of their profits flowed to me. (I've never made any appreciable money working for a poor man.) I give President Reagan high marks for the wisdom shown in choosing his supporting cast. People like Arthur Laffer, Larry Kudlow, James Baker, and Ed Meese, and further down the chain, Mark Levin. If you were of working age during his presidency then you should have done very well in your chosen career. If not, I don't see how that would be Reagan's fault...

Presidents don't set interest rates but their policies influence rates. Once Reagan came into office, look at what happened to rates...

TeamsterGrrrl Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Agreed- Other than when it relates to old Macks like zoning laws, state regulation of historic vehicles, etc. politics don't belong here. Everyone has complaints about their health care, etc., not just old Mack lovers, so those discussions belong in other forums. We need to discuss relevant topics here, like how do we preserve more historic Mack trucks? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50377-overdrive-october-1976/#findComment-374649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
