Popular Post mackdaddy Posted August 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2018 This truck hasn't seen many miles in a lot of years. A friend who started driving in Virginia in an H model wants to drive it up to the Brooks, OR show in a few weeks so I decided to get it serviced and make a run. It performed well other than the sticks are awful stiff. It will be a hot 270 mile run but a lot of fun and memories. Note the smoke in our valley................plain awful for 2 weeks now. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB DINGSDALE Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 mackdaddy: we have a 6000 gal a drop martin mars water bomber sitting up here dong nothing that is excellant at putting out fires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The Mars was the big brother of the Martin PBM Mariner. Martin designed the jet-propelled P6M Seamaster for the Navy when they wanted their own B-52 equivalent. The Air Force raised a huge fuss in congress and successfully forced an end to the program. Too bad.....brilliant aircraft. The days of them taking off and landing on Middle River were something. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned real early how to get along with 2 sticks starting about the age of 16 in an old diamond t off road truck hot- dirty-rough riding -should i go on? maybe i should add that i ran a 220 powered emeryville up and down through your part of the country also. it had the standard 260 ac system Edited August 9, 2018 by carlotpilot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five or so years ago, the green B and a New Century curtainside Trail-Eze (?) show truck trailer was purchased by Tackaberry. Another truck was part of the deal but I can't remember what it was at the moment. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackdaddy Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 I have seen Harry at a few ATHS shows since he sold off his collection although not for the past few years. He just took a negative view towards owning restored trucks and sold them off. The Roadway H model and the KW conv both at Keystone now were and are exceptional.

There might have been three trucks on that trailer. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mackdaddy Posted August 28, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2018 The H model made the Brooks run with no problems. It just always makes me laugh about big power today. I passed him like he was standing still climbing the mountains out of Grants Pass with the Superdog KTTA but just one extra pull over to catch a coffee to go and he arrived at Brooks (235 miles) within minutes of me. On the way back he pulled the Ken Talley Cattle Wagon that we use as our bar and grill. Sure looked good. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
