Red Horse Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 As he noted Maddog deserves a special "attendance award"-Ballston Spa to Worcester S and G, and back to Canajoharie! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51098-saratoga-aths/#findComment-380556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I didn't look at the window tag but that black B dump looks like the one that was John Mauro's from NJ and then was sold to Bobby Capello. It has BC on the grille guard so maybe still is? I thought that it was truck 3 but this one is truck 4? Good to catch up with you on the show circuit. Congrats on your weekend road trip!

Maddog13407 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 John Mauro, always get him and Dave mixed up. remember when it was all striped up at Macungie, and he use to work it. told me a story way back when he was still workin it, loader driver kept screwin with him, one day he got close and scratched the bumper of the Mack with the bucket, believe John jumped out of the truck and straightened him out, much like my grandfather would have done back in the day......

Popular Post j hancock Posted September 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2017 Actually there were two interesting Detroit powered rigs at Ballston Spa. I didn't take a picture of the blue rat Mack. This little rig started as a B-42T but has been customized with a Detroit Diesel 8V53. The 8V53 is fairly rare and usually seen in marine applications. This truck also features a Clariben aftermarket tilting hood. 3 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Maddog13407 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 nice old man owned that Detroit powered B, parked right on the other side of me. real nice guy. said he ordered that Claribean hood ''back in the day' after Mack told him a guy in New England had a whole fleet of them with that hood and after he priced all the sheetmetal from Mack, he ordered the hood instead. guess hes had the old girl for quite a spell 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51098-saratoga-aths/#findComment-380883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly makes a show more interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51098-saratoga-aths/#findComment-380953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
