Joey Mack Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I really need to go to the Museum and get familiar with it.. Mr. Jim Bland, the owner of Transource has asked me to register my 1948 Int. KB-7 with the museum.. I also need to get it on the road, so I can take it to the shows at the Museum.

1961H67 Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 I noticed these can still be bought new ( couple hundred bucks I think) I think that one will clean up ok , it’s not that worn , and it’s from a LJ , the original one has a chunk broken out , worn bad and the base is badly corroded.

mowerman Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Hell I almost missed this one? That pedal barely looks used I am surprised you can still buy them. Yeah, summertime is my favorite. But yes it seems to add a lot of work….

That is the "double dog" truck; according to this video on Youtube it belonged to Benny Whitehead. Apparently he passed away so probably an estate sale. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/21/#findComment-533856 Share on other sites More sharing options...

h67st Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) Jerry Howard ran a trucking outfit, and Howard Historical Trucking (I think that was all show trucks, not freight haulers) in Enon Ohio. He had a lot of old trucks and a shop to restore them. I went to a truck show there a few years back, sadly Jerry has since passed away. He hauled my H67 back from Longmont Colorado for me. ...My mistake, they were in Fairborn (near Enon).

1961H67 Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 I would love to take my Grandson to the Keystone Museum, it’s not that far away,, just to many projects, I would think about selling my Freedom Edition Superliner, I would like to see someone restore it and put it in a museum,, I’ll probably never get around to that project. I still use it, I’ll probably retire in a couple years . 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/21/#findComment-534122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
