Popular Post h67st Posted June 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2019 I finally made it to Macungie for the first time, what a great show! Some really beautiful trucks here. Here's an RD800 glider kit, I'll bet there was a lot of salivating over this one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post h67st Posted June 16, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2019 The only H model I saw at the show. I'm sure everyone joined me in saying, "WE WANT TO SEE MORE H MODELS!" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post h67st Posted June 16, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2019 A guy started with a 1940 Chevy pickup cab, modified the cab, and hand built the hood and sleeper. It's sitting on a motor home chassis with a 5.9 Cummins engine. The craftsmanship is beautiful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlotpilot Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 would have liked to have been there but spent my day pulling the motor out of my zero turn . damn thing is leaking oil out the side at about a quart an hour. looks like the pan gasket blew a hole right behind the filter base . this is going to turn into a project for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maddog13407 Posted June 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2019 lots of nice truck there.amazes me that I know I walked and walked and walked and then someone posts a pic of a truck I never seen at the show.

fuzzy buzzard Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I agree about missing some trucks at Macungie. I walked from Thursday evening till noon Saturday and also see pics of trucks I never saw. Carl, think you are still just going to drive the H a little bit after it is finished? I figure this first trip to Macungie just blew that idea! We'll be racing to see who gets there first. FYI - 460 miles back (including back country to avoid the jam up on I-78 west bound), made it in 7 hours 50 minutes. Not bad for old man in an old truck. There was more than one person wondered what blew past in the hammer lane! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Nice pics. I love that Brockway cabover. Oh and the first pic of the glider.....that is a DM800. It has the offset cab. Man that would be cool to build now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxbxc Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I have a question about that DM800 glider ,does any know if it is a truck with the rears removed or an acutal nos unbuilt glider? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maddog13407 Posted June 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2019 actual glider I believe. there wasn't a single hole drilled in the frame behind the cab. would almost be a shame to build it now. should go into the Mack Museum so Volvo can see ''what use to be done'' 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post h67st Posted June 17, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2019 This is one of my favorite trucks at the show...everything on it was immaculate. The orange and black paint is a great combination. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h67st Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 There were 2 crew cab Superdogs at the show; this one was very well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h67st Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 This is the best B model pickup I've ever seen, the proportions are just right. I've seen some goofy looking conversions before; this one is top-notch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Great pictures. That H model had old Montana plates on the passenger side of the front bumper.

This glider will be done the right way for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the way home I was running with that maroon GMC Cannonball with a 4-71 or 6-71 and straight pipes...he was moving right along for an old truck. Did you take the PA turnpike? Those tunnels look like they would be hairy for an old truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
