That truck he’s in is the LTH I bought last summer, I should have mentioned that in the picture, probably take it to a few shows,, I would love to have him in the LJ that far along this time next year! 7 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/20/#findComment-528790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Something about the steering wheel angle and the extra shifter didn’t look right but I wasn’t paying that much attention… thanks for clearing that up Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/20/#findComment-528797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 sure glad there was a clarification on the LTL 😁 didn't remember the H having that dash or shifters in that location. last experience with an H was when it was being tow started dead of winter, twin stick duplex . I had the H . short version ; wrecker stopped H ( me) didn't.. no build up of air / hand brake didn't work. let clutch out to stop as wrecker tow bar closed in . aux not in gear. that little bubble on front nose made contact with 2 in steel plate. from then on NO towing with out air in tanks and wrecker tow bar at bumper height. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/20/#findComment-528817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1961H67 Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 Going to try to work on the LJ some more next week,have been plugging along but Baseball kinda got things sidetracked for my main helper ! Truck shows coming up around here also , Probably take the LTH to a few since it’s drivable. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/20/#findComment-530864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1961H67 Posted May 6, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2023 Got my Helper ( Sidekick) away from Baseball for a little bit yesterday, hoping to make it to the Waynesville NC truck show next week. Hopefully I can post a story of this truck in the future, I have tracked down the original owners Son and he is looking for some more pictures of when his Dad used it logging,in California, and a family member of the fellow that owned 10Tucky Stables is also looking for pictures from the 70s . t has a lot of history, just trying to get everything together. 7 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/20/#findComment-530923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Those boys still have some mighty fine looking iron, but now there are usually Peterbilt.. bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/20/#findComment-530925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1961H67 Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 Yes I think you are correct about the Peterbilts out there, I would say that is why they built the LT models back in the day to grab some of that market. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/20/#findComment-531021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 That’s very interesting. I had not thought of that but back in those days the LT was definitely better looking than Peterbilt or Kenworth and my opinion. ….

I got to hang out with Dean a good bit Saturday morning at the Waynesville show. Got my first look at the gold truck. Got to hear bits and pieces of the truck's life story. Can't wait to see it all written down in one place. Definitely has some history behind it. 2 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Popular Post 1961H67 Posted May 16, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2023 Thank you! I got some more information on it Saturday especially from some of those guys from East Tennessee, The one fellow said he remembered it setting in a barn for about 12 years, he’s going to try to get more information on it . I’ll keep asking, evidently it was a very popular truck in the Horse community over there after it came from Alaska and got redone in the early 70s . I enjoyed Saturday, my Grandson got there from Baseball practice and rode back home with me. 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/20/#findComment-531509 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 How many trucks do they have inside on permanent display??? Last Fall I talked with Dick Callaway, ATHS WOT author from NC, and he said they were in the process of selecting some..

1961H67 Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 Joey , I thought you might be there , I had a Hennis H Model shirt on , you would probably have recognized me Grandson . Maybe I can bring him back to the Museum and meet up with you sometime. He’s interested in trains also, we usually get down there a couple times a year, Today was Truck Show and Train Day, so it was definitely worthwhile. Brocky I think they have about 10 trucks, a few maybe on loan, because they are a few different ones from last year. My Dad drove for Hennis from 1960 through the 1970s until they were bought by Spector ,, I had the Original pictures of these Hs .

Brocky Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Thank You for the update on display trucks.. Dick Callaway's father was part of the Autocar dealership in Greensboro way back when,, This is where he got the truck bug to write about them..
